“Just as the Founding Fathers were guilty of treason.”
You need to learn some more detail in your history, the definition of treason, and probably about Snowden.
The closest analogy would be Benedict Arnold - except that Arnold didn’t succeed. Just because Arnold helped the revolutionaries earlier and established his bravery in the camaign to take Ticonderoga doesn’t mean that attempting to give over West Point wasn’t treasonous. Actually, Arnold has a lot more to recommend him to our favor than Snowden.
I'm getting a little tired of these comments that I need to "learn more" or "brush up" every time someone disagrees with me.
Signing the Declaration of Independence was an act of treason. They denounced their King and declared themselves independent of him and had they lost the war would have been executed.
I'm forever grateful for these men and their sacrifices but it was treason.
