Oh brother. We're fighting totalitarian regimes, and you'd have us become one.
So we need to get on board when the President wants to grant amnesty to illegal aliens?
We should have let the Bin Laden-loving Arab sheiks control our ports?
Looks like a lot of Freepers will be swinging by the neck under your criteria.
The reason we are at war goes far beyond physical safety. As important as that is, the terrorists, at their worst, can only harm a tiny percentage of us.
When they destroy our freedom, our right to speak from our hearts, right or wrong, THAT is where they hurt us. America is more than a land mass, a group of citizens. It is an idea!
The President is a great man with great goals, who has done some wonderful things. But he is a human being, sometimes fallible and mislead. And ultimately, he is our leader, not our ruler. He is beholden to us.
BTW: If, by some disaster, Hillary is elected, remember to properly worship her, lest ye find yourself doing the "traitor's wiggle". After all, by your standards, to criticize the President (regardless of political philosophy or party membership), is treason.
No its not.
To undermine him during war is treason, but Lincoln, Wilson. FDR, LBJ & Nixon were all critized during war time for their policys.
The real problem is that there is no longer a true standard for treason in Bush's world. Pinch Schulzberg and alot of Senators and Congressmen should have been tried and executed for what truly is treason for what they did to undermind this war. Bush I'm afraid is a wimp like his old man when it comes down to nailing the left. This "get along" crap is doing more damage to the country. Funny how Harry Truman can "give em Hell" but Bush can't even give em heck.
There critizism. Call the cops!
