Free Speech is used in many manners. But the one manner in which it should never be used in, is in a seditious manner. One can question the Government or support the Government with their Free Speech. There is nothing wrong with that. But when one uses their free speech to break the resolve of the people while we are at war, that is sedition and should be treated as such. We debated the war before we went. We will have plenty of time to debate it when it is over. While we have boots on the ground, I would hope that we ALL would stand with our Troops and their efforts.
It is my understanding that while we had boots on the ground in Vietnam, Minh was funneling Russian and Chinese money into an organization called the CPUA (Communist Party USA). The CPUSA were the ones who organized most of the anti war protest here in the US during the Vietnam war. You can credit some of these people in this organization for breaking the will of the people to fight the war. We did not lose that war on a battle field. We lost it right here in the United States of America.
If we allow people to irresponsibly use our Free Speech, this same thing could happen again. There has to be a line drawn at some point. We have to hold people responsible for their motives to break our resolve. Why is it not sedition, when it is the motive of an organization to break our resolve to win a war? I am done with this because I am not happy and I might be a smart alic and say something I will regret. But let it be known, that in my heart, I look at organizations like Code Pink as seditious traitors to our Nation, our Troops, and myself.
Very well stated.
With your permission, I'd like to use most of what you've written in my next letter addressed to several Federal Authorities.
In every letter I quote 18 USC Chapter 115 - Treason, Sedition, and Subversive Activities , referring specifically to Sec 2388.
Crimes and Criminal Procedure - 18 USC Section 2388
Sec. 2388. Activities affecting armed forces during war
(a) Whoever, when the United States is at war, willfully makes or conveys false reports or false statements with intent to interfere with the operation or success of the military or naval forces of the United States or to promote the success of its enemies; or attempts to cause insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny, or refusal of duty, in the military or naval forces of the United States, WILLFULLY OBSTRUCTS THE RECRUITING OR ENLISTMENT SERVICE OF THE UNITED STATES, TO THE INJURY OF THE SERVICE OR THE UNITED STATES, OR ATTEMPTS TO DO SO - Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years or both. (b) If two or more persons conspire to violate subsection (a) of this section and one or more such persons do any act to effect the object of the conspiracy, each of the parties to such conspiracy shall be punished as provided in said subsection (a). (c) Whoever harbors or conceals any person who he knows, or has REASONABLE grounds to believe or suspect, has committed, or is about to commit, an offense under this section, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.

Very true.
You can find most of the Democrats and their organisations are intertwined and all lead back to the International Solidarity Movement -- the world-wide communist front.
Socialist International => DSA/USA => VVAW => IVAW => Code Pink => ad nauseum.
If you want a good overview of the left, spend some time scanning through DiscoverTheNetworks.org links ^ and follow the money, manpower, and methods -- all communist/socialist, and mostly hiding under the radar.
The infiltration is pervasive, endemic, and worming its way into the Republican party as well -- see Specter for one example.
