Still Think It's Just A Game?

I have held my fire over the WikiLeaks treasonous acts with the releasing of the documents supplied to them from a enlisted military member, because in today's America words like treason, espionage, and sabotage have lost all meaning. It began when the New York Times several years ago thought it would be a great idea to publish several pieces about various actions we were taking to help us track terrorists and their financial transactions.

Nothing happened then and expect nothing to happen now. Hell, we caught Russian spies and a deal was made for a swap quicker then Dominoes can deliver a pizza.

Well, at least one Congressman from Michigan, Mike Rogers, ain't willing to dismiss this act casually.

Rep. Mike Rogers of Michigan told a local radio station on Monday (MP3 audio) that he believes Bradley Manning, the Army intelligence specialist who is suspected of being a source for the document-sharing Web site, should be charged with treason.

When the WHMI interviewer suggested that treason in war is a capital crime, Rogers replied: "Yes, and I would have absolutely, I would support it 100 percent. He put soldiers at risk who are our there fighting for their country, and he put people who are cooperating with the United States government clearly at risk."

Rogers added: "If you have an 18 or 19 year old over there, you want to get your hands on this private first class yourself. I know I do."

I hope WikiLeaks founder Assange is feeling a little uneasy himself after no doubt condemning several Afghan civilians to death; as for this PFC sitting in jail: I hope you hold on to your convictions all the way to the firing squad.

The Most Loathsome Man in America

Rush Limbaugh made a great point a short time ago. Senator George Allen was run out of the United States Senate for saying the word macaca.

This lowlife scumbag Charles Schumer headed the Democrat Senate Campaign Committee. He and his Democrat comrades need a pay a price for their treasonous behavior.

I've had enough of these people besmirching the troops while cloaking themselves behind a shield of alleged patriotism.

If you needed any further reminder they indeed hate the troops, click play.

The Season for Treason

There used to be a time when cavorting with our enemies was left to garbage like Sean Penn and and useful idiots like Dan Rather. Now we have high-ranking government officials heading off to meet with dictators (via Hot Air).

ABC News has learned Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi plans to visit Syria next week to meet with Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad. The visit will make Pelosi the most senior U.S. official ever to meet with President Assad.

Pelosi will be traveling to Syria has part of Congressional delegation [sic]. On the trip, she also plans to visit several other countries in the region, including Israel, where she will deliver a speech to the Knesset.

Pelosi's visit to Syria would come as the United States has severed high-level contacts with Assad's government.

The administration recalled the U.S. ambassador to Damascus after the February 2005 assassination of Rafik Hariri in Lebanon. There has been very little high- or mid-level U.S. contact with Syria since then.

Last December, a delegation of four Senators visited Syria, a trip that was made over the objections of the Bush Administration. At the time, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice criticized the trip as unhelpful.

These people are an absolute disgrace.

UPDATE: The White House doesn't think it's a good idea. Which is probably why this obnoxious woman is doing it. Forget about what's good for the country. She's playing to the insane nutroots.

Creeping Toward Treason

Frank Gaffney takes the Democrats to task and they're richly deserving of the scorn. Read the whole piece, but this part sums it up quite succinctly.

It is highly ironic that many of those most critical of President Bush for not having a "plan" for post-invasion Iraq are conspicuously quiet about what would happen after their plan for retreat is adopted. They seem irresponsibly unconcerned about the prospect that, after America capitulates, there would be genocidal mayhem in Iraq, creation of a new safe-haven for terrorism there and a general emboldening of our enemies around the world.

Such behavior is even more intolerable when compounded by today's "agitators" demeaning the troops they profess to support -- notably, by comparing them to Nazis, terrorists, rapists and the killing fields -- and threatening to deny them (through one device or another) the means required to accomplish their mission. In the offing are new legislative initiatives aimed at limiting the authority given to the president in 2002 to achieve Iraq's liberation and tying his hands with respect to the growing threat from Iran -- even that the regime in Tehran is currently posing to our troops fighting next door in Iraq.

These critics, particularly members of Congress, must be held accountable for such destructive dissent. Our enemies believe their strategy for achieving a political victory by wearing down the United States is succeeding. They are redoubling their efforts as they perceive the rising power of irresponsible anti-war "agitators."
