Openly defying the Presient apparently is now "treason"

[Magneto]

I had this jewel show up on my facebook feed. I think someone needs to look up the definition of treason.

 

[Bennettjh]

Huh. That's a new one.

 

[edporch]

And I always thought it was freedom of speech.
I'm so glad to be "re-educated" on this issue!

Was that what it was called when GWB was in office?

Not at all. In fact, the saying then was "Dissent is patriotic".

Really, what it boils down to is: Dissent with Republicans/conservatives is patriotic. Dissent with leftists/Democrats is treason.

If you switch "Republicans/conservatives" with "leftist/Democrats," then you'll get a statement that applies to most INGO posters. Pot and kettle, do not call each other black.

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
― Theodore Roosevelt

They keep using that word. I don't think it means what they think it means.

 

[JS1911]

I'm stunned, STUNNED I tell you, to learn that the lefties are inherently stupid and incapable of thinking.

Maybe they should also listen to one of their presidential candidate front runners. It'd be a real shame to shoot her for treason before she even gets the nomination.

Gee, how many of those same lefty-loon libtards are then 'guilty' of treason when they carried signs stating "Kill GWB", eh?

Considering that treason is defined (emphasis mine):

"treason (noun): the crime of trying to overthrow your country's government or of helping your country's enemies during war." (Merriam-Webster) or similarly,

"treason (noun) 1. the offense of acting to overthrow one's government or to harm or kill its sovereign. 2. a violation of allegiance to one's sovereign or to one's state. 3. the betrayal of a trust or confidence; breach of faith; treachery." (Dictionary.com)

It would appear that if anyone were to be accused and tried for 'treason', it would be the Liar-In-Chief.

Good to know that the hundreds of people in this link have been long ago hauled off on charges of subverting our basic system of government - Death Threats Against Bush at Protests Ignored for Years · zomblog

The full mockup of a guillotine was particularly tasteful.

I'd like to see a link to the original posting... just to make sure. Doubt it will be posted given it's photobucket source. Do you guys really follow so blindly without asking questions?

It legally was treason under Adams... Oddly enough it was mostly republicans that got arrested under the Sedition Act.

 

[CampingJosh]

Good thing treason is defined in the Constitution, otherwise it really would be at the whim of the current president (as the photo in the OP suggests).

 

[TopDog]

The absolute hypocrisy of the left just cracks me up.

Well, it's on their Facebook page, not quite halfway down, on the right, about as large as the OP posted in this thread. Gleaned the link in about 5 seconds of 'research', right off the original image posted by the OP.

The information provided in their banner on that page sure doesn't infer them to be a "righty" group.

It's a never-ending source of amusement to continually see just how loony the 'loony-left' really is.

US Constitution Article III Section 3. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. 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.

Touche, thanks for the link. I was wrong. I will note never to listen to that group's ramblings as it's obviously chalked full of idiots.
