Is Treason and Epidemic in America?
 
Today I sat while speaking on the phone  with a good man ..
He was excited about becoming an American on June 8 2007
I am happy too because he is a man of high integrity and grace in his life. He  will make a good American! 
Just, the type of men and women, who left their countries years ago to become the forefathers of our United States of America...
 
Yet today I also sit with my head bowed in prayer over the sad state of affairs I hear about in the news.
I heard in recent weeks a former President cast blows to the present President thereby nullifying his own presence in the White House.
 
That was the last straw for me..I have  had enough of this rhetoric of bashing anyone and everyone.
When will it ever end? What happened to civility  and what ever happened to love thy neighbor? You know... We take your poor, your outcast  your unlovely..etc...
O yes we must not forget that we have freedom of speech. Was that clause written in so we could destroy each other with our tongues?
 
I learned along time ago that you may not like  a leader but you must respect that office ..Hmmmmm Is that possible today ?
I wonder..
I see people actually forcing others into an emotional battles of wits on a regular basis and we call that news.
I personally call it stupid!
Sense when does and emotion really have full truth? The true definition of Emotions is this "any strong feeling"
Yes emotions can guide us but they should not control us .
 
I must say I am personally ashamed of any leader who publicly slanders a person is such high office as President of the United States of America ..Especially if he too held that office at one time . It sorta makes me think he is slandering himself?
 
Treason is paramount in American and it needs to be stopped.
Will that become news ?
Probably not because many in the media are treasonous and well ..and they hold no conscience about it!  Making stagtments about our leaders and our country as if they held the  rightous pen in their own hadns which they do not. Provking one another to fights in public to do what look? Like they too have control? ( or is it demi- gods?)
 
Is it really about ratings or is it really a venue win which to extradite vengeance and execute judgement? Like GOD?
 
But of course dot talk about GOD for that too will becaome a war of "Emotional Words " And of course its a "private mattter Yetr we christiasn get bashed all the time. And made fun of Hmmmmmmm that is another treason for we have two countries America  and Heaven and the Ultimate Leader .
This I too call control.
 
And tell me what give Illegal Aliens a right to demonstrate against our nation? isn't  that treason?
 
Alas we also have personality figures who were unhappy our Vice President wasn't killed in the Middle east a few months ago!
Is this treason?
 
AND AND AND  we hear our President caused 9-11 ??? Is this  treason?
A film maker makes a movie and tells a story about 9-11 and a lot of people belive it and this movie maker gets away with "treason"? Because he calls it a story yet he tells everyone its true???
 
Let us not forget that our enemies who are being held in detention for  conspiring to commit murder of Americans and Christians ..
 
These very traitors (treasonous  behavior) are being pushed upon the American public as victims..
Is this treason?  
 
We cant become suspicious of "shady characters " because it might offend them .Yet we cry "O My" when they kill our children and then we find a way to blame some one.
 
Yet we will take away the rights of people who may have served there prison terms and have their names blasted throughout the public as warning signals!
What's with that?
 
We have gone crazy in America we fight with each other over minor things and make them major.
We see accusations against our President calling  him murderer and a shameful President. and much more...
We even have seen people in high office go against his order and leave the country..Against his wishes  anyway. Isn't that reason? 
 
Who will defend our Country and stand up against her enemies for her enemies are my enemies . I am an American!
I am proud of it I just wish everyone else was too!

What is treason look below and ask yourself whare are you in this?
 

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

In law, treason is the crime of disloyalty to one's nation. A person who betrays the nation of their citizenship and/or reneges on an oath of loyalty and in some way willfully cooperates with an enemy, is considered to be a traitor. Oran's Dictionary of the Law (1983) defines treason as: "...[a]...citizen's actions to help a foreign government overthrow, make war against, or seriously injure the [parent nation]." In many nations, it is also often considered treason to attempt or conspire to overthrow the government, even if no foreign country is aided or involved by such an endeavour.

Traitor may also mean a person who betrays (or is accused of betraying) their own political party, nation, family, friends, ethnic group, religion, social class, or other group to which they may belong. Often, such accusations are controversial and disputed, as the person may not identify with the group of which they are a member, or may otherwise disagree with the group leaders making the charge. See, for example, race traitor.

At times, the term "traitor" has been levelled as a political epithet, regardless of any verifiable treasonous action. In a civil war or insurrection, the winners may deem the losers to be traitors. Likewise the term "traitor" is used in heated political discussion – typically as a slur against political dissidents, or against officials in power who are perceived as failing to act in the best interest of their constituents. In certain cases, as with the German Dolchstoßlegende, the accusation of treason towards a large group of people can be a unifying political message.

Murder is now generally considered the worst of crimes, but in the past, treason was thought of as worse. In English law high treason was punishable by being hanged, drawn and quartered (men) or burnt at the stake (women), the only crime which attracted those penalties (until the Treason Act 1814). In fact the punishment was devised by King Edward I to punish the leaders of resistance to his invasions of Wales and Scotland. In both cases the charge of treason was questionable because Wales and Scotland were separate countries prior to the English invasions. The treason charge was especially controversial in the case of William Wallace of Scotland.[citation needed] The penalty was used by later monarchs against people who could reasonably be called traitors, although most modern jurists would call it excessive. Many of them would now just be considered dissidents.

In Shakespeare's play King Lear (c. 1600), when the King learns that his daughter Regan has publicly dishonoured him, he says They could not, would not do 't; 'tis worse than murder: a conventional attitude at that time. In Dante's Inferno, the lowest circles of Hell are reserved for traitors; Judas, who betrayed Jesus in Christian theology, suffers the worst torments of all. His treachery is in fact so notorious that his name has long been synonymous with traitor, a fate he shares with Benedict Arnold, Pétain, Quisling, Alcibiades of Athens, and Ephialtes, who betrayed the Spartans at the Battle of Thermopylae.

Main article: Treason

High treason, broadly defined, is an action which is grossly disloyal to one's country or sovereign. Participating in a war against one's country, attempting to overthrow its government, and attempting to kill its head of state are perhaps the best known examples of high treason.

Historically, high treason was differentiated from petty treason, which was the act of killing a lawful superior (such as a servant killing his master or mistress). It was, in effect, considered a more serious degree of murder. The concept of petty treason gradually faded, however, and today, use of the word "treason" generally refers to the same thing as "high treason". The law of some countries does not distinguish the two — for example, the Constitution of the United States defines treason as something which, historically, would have been called high treason.

Canadian law describes two separate offences of treason and high treason, but both of these in fact fall in the historical category of high treason.[1]

For the United States, the Constitution specifies the substantive and procedural requirements for treason in Article 3, Section 3: levying war against the United States or adhering to the enemies of the United States, proved by either confession in open court or testimony of two witnesses of the same overt act.?
