So in your opinion fidelity to maximum personal liberty, limited government and governing by strict adherence to the constitution i.e. the principles on which this country was founded equals treason? Well I admit it does go against the modern state of affairs - but then if you are all for a strong, centralized, intrusive, meddling, high taxing, socialist government and nanny state why are you on FR? This site's purpose was to roll back years of government growth.
This is ridiculous. Does the author really believe that the concept of individuals benefitting from political contacts was invented by the Lincoln administration?
