Good thing TREASON does not matter when THEY do it.

Article III, Section 3, Paragraph 1, of the Constitution of the United States:
"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them,
or, in adhering to their Enemies, giving them aid and comfort.
"

The "aid and comfort" prong of treason has been interpreted
by SCOTUS as requiring proof of four elements:
1. an intent to betray the United States (which can be inferred from);
2. an overt act;
3. witnessed by two people; and
4. that provides aid and comfort to an enemy of the United States.


"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious.
But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly.
But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.
For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men.
He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist.
A murderer is less to be feared."

-- Marcus Tullius Cicero

Right now the 0bama regime supports this overthrow...therefore codepink is doing their patriotic duty...

I truly wish I could put a sarcasm tag on that statement, but it is what it is.

It would seem the word “Treason” anymore is as volatile as bean bags on the border. There’s been so damned much “Treason” with this crowd ruling the Democrat Party, and pushing their insanity onto the rest of us, and the World, yet NOTHING is done beyond screaming the word “Treason”, but only by those of us on the outside.

Why aren’t there calls of “Treason” from within the elected representation of our government? Those that we elect. Why aren’t they too looking at “Treason”? Haven’t heard, or read a peep out of them about “Treason”.

I fully understand and realize that Egyptians are reported to be very well educated and versed.

But why are they're protest signs in English? If they are well versed in a few languages GREAT I get it media but if I go to make a protest sign it will be in my home language.

And the winner winner chicken dinner of the best answer is...

One theory, said by radio talk show host Michael Savage, is that it is intended for English audiences and that Egypt is being overtaken by a group called the Muslim brotherhood, which has influenced Muslim radical groups like Al Qaeda. The Muslin Brotherhood has waited for this protest so that during the chaos they can install a leader who will be the front for their organization, who's intent is to spread the religion of Islam, by force or by other means. I don't know how much of it is true, but it all sounds a little fishy and I think what's happening there can be dangerous for us here in the US, and world over. I don't exactly understand all this, but I think it's still interesting. Take a look at the link below. Source(s): http://www.michaelsavage.wnd.com/
