My understanding is that these terms denote overt, demonstrably intentional acts to mislead law enforcement, or to assist an individual (or group) in evading prosecution for actual crimes. Free speech is clearly not a crime, but activity (including speech), which constitutes betrayal or subjugation (i.e.: inciting the violent overthrow of one's own country) is, in my opinion, actionable. To me, agreeing with the goals and tactics of those who would destroy our country is grounds for a charge of treason, especially in a time of war. If PCUN (or any other organization, such as E.L.F., A.L.F., or Earth First) is officially listed as a terrorist group, then precedent exists to prosecute for "material support" of a terrorist group.BEARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18127559050411509374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11266150.post-29263556410991345142007-05-20T18:40:00.000-07:002007-05-20T18:40:00.000-07:00I really wish you guys would learn what "fascist" ...I really wish you guys would learn what "fascist" means.

Bear, your comment is good, too, because it sort of leads into the question that I think Daniel’s answer raises<BR/><BR/>Treason is not a law that only elected office-holders can break; anyone can commit treason. Consider Christopher Boyce or Andrew Daulton Lee, a couple of college kids at the time when they were selling secrets to the Soviet Union. Or the former FBI agent Robert Hanssen. Those guys weren't elected; they didn't vote for any bill, but they committed treason.<BR/><BR/>So, getting at what Bear raises, what about someone whose activity is at a different level, not at the level of actually voting on a bill and enacting it into law. <BR/><BR/>Suppose a person calls up DeFazio and urges him to vote for the bill in its present form. Then he goes to Pioneer Square with a big sign that says "Amnesty now!" Then maybe he writes an guest opinion piece for The Oregonian calling for amnesty. Maybe he even writes a check to PCUN, a personal donation.<BR/><BR/>Is this someone who ought to be arrested and prosecuted for treason? The guy is lending support to the exact same thing that the “bipartisan” group came up with -- and with the example of a contribution to PCUN, material support, willfully offered to a group that supports amnesty. <BR/><BR/>Isn’t this person also a traitor? And if so, and if we're talking about equal treatment under the law, isn’t this person also committing treason? What should the government be doing about it? Aren’t there practical limits in prosecuting that stuff?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11266150.post-59505212181952568812007-05-20T17:06:00.000-07:002007-05-20T17:06:00.000-07:00Hey, curious, you've asked a relevant question. Mr...Hey, curious, you've asked a relevant question. Mr. Daniel has answered it honestly. Your query, "some sort of action, legal or otherwise," prompts me to respond. Legal actions are the ONLY response required of the intellectually honest. Since we are at war against the islamo-fascists, any act which supplants our Constitution, aiding and/or abetting those who would destroy our country (thus weakening our national security), should be considered treasonous. Why our government has failed to arrest or prosecute those who have demonstrated their outright hatred for America and its ideals is certainly a puzzle. Several U.S. Attorneys have been fired due to their reticence re prosecuting election fraud and border violations. The democrat party (of course) sides with the illegals.BEARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18127559050411509374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11266150.post-3871271397744859952007-05-20T13:25:00.000-07:002007-05-20T13:25:00.000-07:00Treason: In law, treason is the crime of disloyalt...Treason: In law, treason is the crime of disloyalty to one's nation.

The obvious implication is that a traitor is someone who has committed treason. The American Heritage Dictionary, in fact, defines the word as " ...<I>especially</I> one who commits treason." Treason is a crime. So again, I want to know: Do you believe that some sort of action, legal or otherwise, should be taken against those you see as "traitors"? If so, what? Should some enterprising U.S. attorney's office take the initiative and attempt to prosecute and imprison any of these "traitors"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11266150.post-27444244681958971322007-05-20T10:04:00.000-07:002007-05-20T10:04:00.000-07:00"Domestic issues" bull shit!That is Girly Man Talk..."Domestic issues" bull shit!<BR/><BR/>That is Girly Man Talk for "Wife Beating" and its a . . .
