"Nice ad hominem attack."

Not really. Just a good analysis of your tactics.

"And I suggest you read the 1st Amendment - it allows people to criticize the government. Even in time of war. "

"Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an estblishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercize thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances"

I don't see anything there refering to a state of war.

"Article III

Section III

TREASON - WHAT AND HOW PUNISHED

1. Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhereing to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or in confession in open court.

2. The Congress shall have the power to declare the punishemnt of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of the blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attained."

People who demonstrate against a war effort once American troops are committed in combat are de facto providing aid and comfort to the enemy and are therefore traitors. They should be hanged.

In World War 1 and World War 2 no one would have disputed this. Nor would it have been disputed during the Civil War.

No government can survive by not taking appropriate steps to assure subversive elements do not undermine its efforts to defend its interests.

First of all, even the Sedition Act did not call for the hanging of antiwar protestors. And, second, this country can withstand antiwar protests in a time of war.

Go back and read your history - there were antiwar protests during the Civil War and WWI.

We've done just fine so far without your approach, thank you.

And let me elaborate what lies at the end of the road you wish for us to take - President Hillary, declaring a phony war and using that pretext to squash all dissent, including the shutting down of Free Republic and the jailing of Jim Robinson and BobJ. Of course, you would never comprehend your own culpability in the matter.
