The Constitution of the United States, Art. III, defines treason against the United States to consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, GIVING THEM AID OR COMFORT. This offense is punished with death. By the same article of the Constitution, no person shall be convicted of treason, unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.

I have had a student loan with SallieMae for the past three years. They take my payment automatically from my bank on the 15th of each month. I was banking on-line over the weekend and found that my loan payment was increased by almost $20. I checked me email and found one from SallieMae - when I tried to go on-line to read the "correspondence", it refused my user id and password. I heard that Obama (government) was taking over the student loans). Does anyone out there have any info on that? How can they raise my payment when I...

Check out the picture.....Obama or Malcolm X?

Bush initiates TARP funding program - bad (Bush's Fault) Economy gets worse - bad (Bush's Fault) Bankers and Wall Street get bailed out - bad (Bush's Fault) Banks pay back some of the bailout dollars to apply to the deficit - good! Obama uses the repaid dollars as a jobs-maker (slush fund) - great! SO Bush's Fault = Obama's Great?

The Obama administration today proposed legislation giving the federal government the power to impose safety regulations on local rail transit systems Read more: http://www.pittsburghpostgazette.com/pg/09342/1019275-455.stm#ixzz0Z7lULLYz

Just wanted to give a heads-up that my son (who put his resume on Monsterjobs.com awhile back) got a phone call yesterday from an ACORN rep asking if he was interested in becoming a 2010 census-taker - that training was to begin next week and pay would be $10/hour. He/we live in Pittsburgh, PA.<> So did ZERO REALLY remove ACORN from doing the census or is it more smoker and mirrors?

I'm curious as to what is going on with the birth certificate fighters - I haven't seen any updates recently from Mr. Donofrio or Ms. Tickley. There's been no news from Orly (since her $20,000 appeal), nothing from Mr. Berg and Judge Carter has yet to make a decision on the MTD.<> Did Obama's thugs gather them all up and throw them over a cliff? Or perhaps (I wish) are "they" all collaborating with Judge Carter? Or am I just looking in the wrong threads? (I use the search engine and type in birth certificate).

Unfortunately, I cannot attend the Tea Party Express on September 12 but at this time I'd like all PP's (Patriotic Participants) to accept my sincere thanks now for what I know will be a successful event. I decided that the least I could do was to come up with some imaginative protestor signs. Once I started to come up with slogans, I couldn't stop. So here's my list - please feel free to add to them, critique them and foremost - use them as you see fit. TARP bailout - $500 billion Stimulus bailout - $787 billion Automobile industry bailout...

All of us have been pretty hard on Obama since his election and I've decided it's time to recognize a few of the things he has accomplished in the past seven months. 1. In seven months - he has united Americans unlike anytime since September 12, 2001 to fight to get their country back! 2. He has moved into First Place for "Worst President in the History of America", unseating Jimmah Carter who held that honor for 30+ years! 3. For the Guiness Book of Records - In record time - he has antagonized, allienated, angered and insulted MORE people...

I admit that I am both angered and intrigued over the birth certificate issue with Obama. In fact, I admit I lose sleep over it. Last night was one of those nights and came up with the following. I am a working American citizen who pays Federal taxes. As Obama's salary is paid for with taxpayer money, I am therefore his employer. As his employer, it is my duty and responsibility to ensure that once he is interviewed (campaign) for the position and is offered the job, he meets the qualifications of that position (NBC), etc. The HR department (state...

As much as I would love to attend the march to D.C. this September, it will be impossible financially to do so. I will be there in heart/spirit though! While thinking about the march, I came up with an idea that I thought I would pass along to those who will be attending. It is my understanding that signs on poles or sticks are not allowed. Would it be great if everyone (10,000+) showed up with pink signs? Having patriots stand at the Capital holding "pink slips" (with your rep's name on them if you chose) would send a pretty...

Thousands upon thousands of citizens are angry and very frustrated that we can't seem to get the attention of the powers that be. Since approximately 48 million voted against this guy - wouldn't it be great if at least 1 million of us send our mortgage coupon, invoice, car payment, etc. on let's say April 15th to: Present (No ID) Obama 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, DC 20002 with a note stating: Since I am being forced to pay for mortgages, credit cards, etc. for others I request that the government pay the enclosed one with my tax dollars.

Comments are not coming up on any of the topics. Is anyone else having that problem?

I was reading "comments" at another news source (can't remember which one since I fly all over the place on the web) where someone wrote that Obama is about to go down. The person listed this site: http://web.archive.org/web/20010121110500/www.hawaii.edu/speccoll/arch/univphoto/txtlist.htm which contains proof that Obama was born in Africa - not Hawaii. I cut and pasted it into my browser but nothing comes up. Since I'm at work (and should be working, lol) I thought perhaps another Freeper could look into this in more detail. Thanks!

The other day I went downtown to run a few errands. I went into the local coffee shop for a snack. I was only there for about 5 minutes, and when I came out, there was this cop writing out a parking ticket. I said to him, 'Come on, man, how about giving a retired person a break'? He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. His insensitivity annoyed me, so I called him a 'Nazi.'He glared at me and then wrote out another ticket for having worn tires. So I proceeded to call him a 'doughnut eating Gestapo.' He...

Reading various reports that the plan for the "roll call" on Wednesday is that after a few states "vote", Hillary will interrupt and concede and give her delegates to the "O" and ask her supporters to support him. Question: What if Hillary interrupts when the votes are in her favor? What if Hillary decides not to interrupt? What if all goes as planned and her supporters/delegates go nuts and refuse? What happens then?

I’ve come to the conclusion that the DNC has realized too late that they bet on the wrong horse. To save face and avoid chaos, “hurt” feelings, etc., they decided to throw Obama under the bus with his grandmother, Rev. Wright and Tony R. They are being quite subtle about it too. Is the following line-up intentional or are they just plain stupid? •Joe Biden selection for VP – right at the start – Joe opens his mouth (at his acceptance speech) and makes a comment about his “drop dead gorgeous wife” and “she has a doctorate and that’s a...

Clicked on search for "anna" "anna nichole" "smith" 'investigation". Nothing comes up. Anyone know whether it was deleted or not? Thanks!

Does anyone know what time the Anna Nicole Special comes on tonight and what channel? I saw it advertised on Sunday for today but didn't catch it. I believe it's called The Last 24 Hours-Anna Nicole Smith. Thanks!

You say your health care plan is not government-controlled but will cost $31.9 billion per year. Are you going to pay for it personally with your cattle futures or from the advance of your next book "How I Became Queen Bi*ch?" Should you win the Presidency (God Help Us) what additional security measures will be put in place for Whitehouse interns while the First Man is running around and will taxpayers have to pay for this "extra" security? You've invited Arafat to the Whitehouse, embraced his wife and your other half pardons them. Have you ever met a terrorist you...
