Defining Treason
Deborah Venable
June 30, 2006
Simple. Anyone too stupid to tell the good guys from
the bad guys – or even worse, just doesn’t give a damn, or worse still, acts
deliberately to negatively impact his country’s efforts to win a war has committed
treason.
You
want a dictionary definition?
“The act of handing over – to hand over or betray; the betrayal
of a trust; the offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government
of the state to which the offender owes allegiance or to kill or personally
injure the sovereign or his family.”
Better
still, you want a soldier’s opinion?
Check out the archives for communications such as this.
Heaven
knows what our soldiers in uniform who are now rotting in jails and prisons for
killing the enemy think about treason.
I don’t think we want to know!
Now,
in case you are confused: The First
Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America is being used to
defend rags like the New York Times, Cindy Sheehan, the big-mouthed Dixie Chick
broad, John Murtha, half of the Hollywood Crowd that rushes to microphones in
this country or on foreign soil to rant against their country’s actions in war
time, Senators Boxer, Clinton, Kerry, Kennedy, etc., not to mention the wannabe
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, the liberal members of the Supreme Court who
return stupid decisions concerning treatment of prisoners of war, AND anybody
that wants to desecrate the flag of the United States Of America - BUT it
CANNOT be used to defend ANYONE who wishes to publicly address people and
invoke gratitude to Jesus Christ or the Christian God. Why not?
Oh yeah, that’s right – because THAT would violate the “separation of
church and state” part of the Constitution that ISN’T EVEN THERE!
So,
treason is okay, helping the enemy in time of war is okay, leaking powerful
terror fighting tools and strategies to the press is okay, coddling the enemy
in any way that moronic liberals see fit is okay, but publicly stating a belief
in and gratitude to Jesus Christ is NOT okay.
Bear
with me a minute, all you atheists, agnostics, and folks with non-Christian
religious beliefs who are bristling at my correlation here between things that
you would perhaps not tie together.
They ARE all tied together because the words of the Constitution are
being redefined every day to support the liberal philosophy, (otherwise known
these days as a RELIGION.) In other
words, my beliefs, philosophies, RELIGION are being SUBSTITUTED for
theirs. Make no mistake about it folks,
a STATE RELIGION is being established and its name is LIBERALISM. And that, ladies and gentlemen IS in direct
violation of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of
religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; . . .”
There
is absolutely NOTHING in there that prohibits ANY American citizen anytime,
anywhere, for whatever reason from mentioning God or Jesus Christ. BUT there sure as hell IS a prohibition in
that First Amendment to American law, i.e. written by Congress, STOPPING any
American citizen from expression OF ANY KIND of belief in or adherence to
Christian principles or God’s law.
You
see, this country is in trouble because the tenets of Christianity on which
rests the framework of our government, our laws, our traditions, and our
culture is being slowly but surely eroded away and replaced with the tenets of
the religious belief in the philosophy of liberalism.
This
was all preordained many years ago by those who set out to destroy America and
the human liberty that she represents and defends all over the world. Everything that is happening was foretold –
not just in the pages of well-known religious texts, but within the written
goals of every man-made enemy government and every enemy that America ever
had. Liberalism is a religious
philosophy of idiots. It requires that
we aspire to lower and lower depths of human desecration, cherish meaningless
art, promote utter weakness and dependency, and above all else discriminate
against Christian ideals and American tradition.
It has been said that religious beliefs appeal to the weak-minded and give man a crutch on which to lean when he refuses to stand on individual principles. That about sums up liberalism in a nutshell. However, if one is guided by a faith in the God-given human spirit, he needs no “crutch” to support his beliefs. Liberals do not understand spirit. They are frightened by it because they cannot see it and they sure as hell don’t feel it. Besides, they need someone else to blame when things go wrong for them, and their “religion” gives them that.
To
leave you on a positive note, let me say this – treason IS defined as a
betrayal of trust. The greatest
betrayal has always been that of failing spirit in all human endeavors, but
especially the battle for liberty.
Every war America ever fought, social or otherwise, was met with
internal defiance. If mob rule,
(otherwise known as pure democracy), was the law of the land, America and much
of the rest of the world would not know the meaning of, much less be
experiencing, human liberty in any form.
Our own Revolutionary War stands as proof that a MINORITY of remarkable
citizens with faith in that aforementioned God given human spirit and a great
desire for liberty for all made a difference.
Join not the ranks of the faint of heart then, but rejoice in the
knowledge of right and wrong and stand for the principles of right at all
costs.
Have a wonderful Independence Day celebration and God
Bless you one and all!
