"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."
Doesn't sound like Obama has met the criteria. Buried.- smotpoker, on 05/11/2008, -5/+3Depends on how you define "enemy". Considering Israel has been secretly buying oil from Iran, who is supposedly funding the al qaeda in their fight against our troops, despite they were supposed to be participating in an embargo against them...
Many would argue that if the enemy of an enemy is a friend, then a friend of an enemy is an enemy - whom swearing allegiance to would be considered treasonous. Not saying I believe this personally, but it is a valid argument.
Taking an oath is an act of faith to some degree and, IMO, Israel hasn't quite earned it

Gen. Tommy Franks says that if the United States is hit with a weapon of mass destruction that inflicts large casualties, the Constitution will likely be discarded in favor of a military form of government.

The Bush administration has attacked fundamental civil liberties and constitutional protections since Sept. 11. The rights to free speech, equal protection under the law, privacy, innocence until proven guilty, due process, legal counsel, attorney-client privilege and protection from search and seizure without probable cause have been recast as anti-terrorist measures. So far, this has proven disastrous for those that fit the government’s racial profile of suspicion, especially non-citizens. - helraizr, on 05/11/2008, -2/+3trade with all, alliances to none.

"Vile anti-Semitism"? Ooooh, how outrageous. I tell the truth and all I get is contempt in response.
America is a loser as an indentured slave to Israel. It's going to go kaput soon. - cyberdogg, on 05/11/2008, -3/+3ElderofZion - your agenda is obvious.
Arthur Schopenhauer: "All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident."
I will be vindicated eventually. Read the diary throughout before jumping to contempt.- Sludgehammer, on 05/11/2008, -1/+1Arthur Schopenhauer: "All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident."
Sludgehammer: "Interestingly enough, lies and erroneous assumptions usually get stuck on stage one or two."
