State of the Union- Treason Ignored

Ladies and gentlemen, my fellow Americans, other foreign nationals, if you care (except you illegals- I don't care what you have to say or think), I have dire news. It seems America has entered an age of decadence, laziness, and corruption greater than any time in our history- to the point of national and societal suicide. I say this because members of our own government have committed treason, in the strictest sense of the word, even qualified under the narrow definition provided by our constitution. I say this because the American people have not risen up in outrage and protest at this treason. I say this because the American media in large part has been almost completely silent. Finally, I say this because if this pattern continues, there won't be an America as we know it for our children or grandchildren.

Treason, according to the constitution, requires either waging war against the United States or any part of it, or- and this is the important one today- aiding the United States' enemies. It was not technically treason when Nancy Pelosi visited Syria, (unless she did things I am not aware of, which is possible), badmouthed the US on Middle Eastern, Muslim, anti-American TV, sent messages opposite the commander in chief, all while wearing an insulting Muslim headscarf. (She probably would have worn a burkha, but then no one would have known it was her. By the way, where are the femi-nazis on this one?) If you read the constitution, as deplorable an act as that was, and she should be kicked out of office in disgrace for it, it was not treason. However, since then, Pelosi and her cronies (I am still working on a more complete list of who exactly masterminded this treasonous filth) have seditiously betrayed our country. If we had any legitimate leadership in this country, they would already be held responsible.

A quick overview of relevant history for you libs out there who hardly know what the word history means: In 1915, nearing the end of WWI, Turks of the Ottoman empire were involved in the killing of millions of Armenians. Many historians have labeled it genocide, they are likely correct. The Turks are still very sensitive about the issue. Also, our congress has condemned this incident as genocide twice already! Since then, Armenians still inhabit parts of Turkey, as do Kurds. Kurds, another race in the area (without a country of their own, thanks to a poor job carving the area up when the Ottoman empire fell as WWI came to a close), occupy the southern parts of Turkey and northern parts of Iraq. To sum up the Kurds' condition- they're used to being picked on and killed by now. Saddam tested his chemical (WMDs!!!) weapons on them, Turkish police and military regularly harass them. However, it should be noted that among all the Muslim inhabited countries in the area, Turkey is one of the most moderate- with a secular government, relatively high standard of living, and relatively high education. Turkey even considered joining the European Union for some time. Finally, there is an extremist group of Kurds called the PKK that do commit acts of terrorism in Turkey.

The most important thing to note about Turkey right now is that they are an ally in our war poorly named War on Terror, (war on fundamentalist Islam , I might call it), especially with Iraq. 70% of the supplies for our troops go through Turkey. Because Pelosi and co. have yet to do anything to end the war as promised, because they don't really have the support or backbones to cut funding (which is all congress can really do anyway), they have become more devious. Their tactic of undermining the effort has been taken to a new level.

Sun Tzu, perhaps the truest master of war in history, explained that the best way to win conflicts is to not even draw your sword (fire as shot). First, he said, you attack strategies and future plans of your enemies, then you attack alliances (Pelosi has certainly been undermining our alliances, hasn't she?) then you attack supply lines (then his armies, and last his walled cities- or fortified positions). He stresses more times than I bother to count that supply lines are absolutely crucial to any military effort. He was right thousands of years ago, and is no less right today. What our enemy, the Al Quaeda Islamist Fascist out there has always sought to do more than fight our army, which it cannot defeat, is to fight our policies. They seek to wear down our political will, and break our morale. It worked for the Vietcong. In fact, the communists in North Vietnam were ready to surrender when the US pulled out. Osama learned that, and now believes he, too, can break our will.

Nancy Pelosi has gone a step further. In order to aid our enemy, she has decided to attack our supply lines, and our alliances. She and her cronies have put forth a third resolution, NOW OF ALL TIMES, to condemn an incident that occurred over ninety years ago. Talk about a coincidence that the people she is royally ticking off have the power to cut off more than half our supplies. Not to mention the fact that many within their government want to invade northern Iraq, which would be a disaster for our forces. (96% of their parliament just voted to let the army move in.) Make no mistake about it, Pelosi is aiding the enemy in time of war. She has, in the passing of one ridiculous resolution, attacked the United States armed forces' future plans, alliances, and supply lines. She has committed treason.

The penalty for treason, as laid out in the constitution, can be death. Am I calling for that? No, not yet. If, IF Pelosi's little plot works, and our troops are cut off from supplies... I'd call for her immediate trial. At that trial, the death penalty should be on the table. Most definitely. If our own leadership actively works against our military, forget about a private citizen doing so (Jane Fonda), somebody's head should role. Whoever else helped her mastermind this little coup should also be put on trial. Now, I understand that this is a dangerous path. History is littered with instances of a nation's leaders being assassinated so that others can gather and solidify power. (See almost any chapter of Rome's history, or Hitler's "night of long knives.") Still, treason is treason. We sent Julius and Ethel Rosenberg to the electric chair for giving the Soviets classified nuclear secrets, what Pelosi is trying to do is just as bad. Every mis-representative that sign this resolution should be kicked out of the House and forbidden from ever holding public office again. Make no mistake about it- they wish to antagonize an ally into turning against us, and they knew exactly what they were doing.

People may call this an attempt to make it a punishable offense to oppose the war, but that isn't true; and deep down, even the biggest lib knows it. Opposition and treason are very different things. The fact of the matter is: if we had legitimate leadership, or legitimate participation of the people in their government, this would already be discussed in larger forums than this post. This is not freedom of speech, this is not innocent politics, this is treason. I'm going to keep saying it until it gets through.

As it happens, Pelosi is already making excuses for her actions. She actually pointed out in an interview, despite the fact that the President has called on congress not to do this, that he had never actually called her personally. So, apparently, that makes it okay. After all, this is just a resolution in accordance with "American values," as she says. Boy, if only Benedict Arnold had thought of that. Well, gee, he could have argued, the President never actually ordered me not to conspire with the British, so, it's all okay, right? Helping people (the Brits) is just what Americans do! We're good people! You see that? Even she knows what she is diong is wrong, but, apparently just like the public, she doesn't care.

There are other effects worth mentioning quickly- first (kudos to Michael Savage for pointing this possibility out), she might be trying to court the Armenian vote. Armenians tend to be very conservative, because they learned the hardest of ways to know better than to give in to liberal ideas like appeasement and overall weakness. (Thus, the genocide in discussion.) I kind of doubt this, seeing how small the Armenian vote is, but it is still a possibility.

Also, everyone is probably noticing their gas prices going up this week. Well, tensions in Turkey mean crude oil price raises, so you libs out there can stop blaming Bush, who has nothing to do with it, and thank Pelosi for that price hike. (What does she care? She wants a fifty cent per gallon tax on gas anyway.) She and her fellow apparatchik (google it if you don't know) have incited so much trouble already that gas prices are going up.

Back to the important part. Pelosi and her buddies (I bet Reid and Hillary had a lot to do with this, not to mention several others) have actively, ACTIVELY moved to aid our enemies and hurt our own soldiers. They mean to attack not only our plans and alliances, which might squeeze by the narrow definition of treason in this country, but our very supply lines. That isn't like voting to cut off the funding to the war effort, it's seeking to make an enemy out of a friend and cut our soldiers off from their food, ammunition, medical supplies, fuel, weapons, reinforcements, everything. Those traitors did this on purpose, and we the people sit by. IT'S TREASON! Do you hear me!? TREASON! Read the Constitution!!! If Turkey cuts off our supply lines, if ONE American soldier is harmed in any way because Turkey moves into northern Iraq, Pelosi ought to be given a swift trial, taken out back and shot. The same goes for anyone who helped her do this, should one American be harmed because of this. Rather than hold anyone responsible, as usual, the media reports Turkey's actions, but is silent about why. Conservative media reports what happens, the audiences listens, and acts like its no worse than anything else the Democrats have done. THIS IS SEDITION!!! LITERALLY! The public at large should be so outraged that Pelosi has to increase her bodyguard detail, but the people are as blissfully ignorant or complacent as ever. I'll bet anything she gets away with this. She'll be reelected for this in her whacked-out district in Commie-fornia. This is why I say that we are committing national and societal suicide. We can't even recognize treason when it glares us in the face with a big neon sign that says "I'm a traitor." It's no wonder liberals are less likely to have children, just think about it. When a country behaves in this manner, when its leadership commits treason and its people do nothing about it, how can it possibly survive?
