I was taught to "call a spade a spade". If Congress is trying to micromanage Iraq and play polotics with war funding they are undermining the war effort and our Soldiers in the field.
The way you put it, it would seem that you are accusing Congress of undermining the best interests of the United States. If the Congress is undermining the best interest of the United States, they are undermining the United States. THAT IS TREASON. Now, you say you have never used the word Treason in this discussion, and I will not argue that point. You probably have not.
quote:
Webster's defines Treason as: 1 : the betrayal of a trust : TREACHERY. The definition of undermine, in metaphor: 3 : to subvert or weaken insidiously or secretly <trying to undermine his political rivals>
4 : to weaken or ruin by degrees. Insidious: 1 a : awaiting a chance to entrap : TREACHEROUS and finally the definition of Treacherous: 1 : violation of allegiance or of faith and confidence : TREASON
2 : an act of perfidy or treason
PLEASE, SAY AGAIN THAT YOU NEVER SAID TREASON.
Based off your definition above, I would have to say that yes Congress is being treasonous and treacherous in their actions.
Wasn't that easy.
Yes. They have made it pretty easy to reach that conclusion.
OHHHHHHHH MYYYYYYY GOSHH!!!! I cannot believe what I am reading...
I will say it one more time... someone who is SO MISINFORMED as SP is, HAS to be VERY VERY young, or just sits there with their nose in Fox news all the time... I am guessing VERY VERY young though!!!
I just CANNOT believe my eyes though on that comment!!!!! The comment ALONE is HORRIBLE!!!
Read the chain KS. Based strictly off Ed's definiton, the conclusion I made is a valid one, IMHO. You have made the "VERY young" comment before and it doesn't hold water. I can assure that 18 years of military service and supporting myself in this world since I was 16 has given me a very clear view of how the world works. I have also explained to you in the past that I actually do the work to get outside of the MSM box (to which you are so terribly chained to) and find out the way things really are. I don't rely on ANY one source for ANY of my views. Research is the only way to know what is really going on out there.
Southern Patriot, I started a business when I was 11 years old. I was too young to have a job, so I created one. By the time I was 18, I owned two cars, both in my Father's name, I was too young to own property. I owned a typesetter, and two offset printing presses, I produced Text material for two Schools, Talliessen West, and the Arizona School of Business Administration. I had completed a year of College, and I was facing the draft. I joined the Army to retain some control over my own destiny, and to fulfill my civic duty to defend this nation against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I did my six years, completed another year of college while in the Reserves, Married, started a family and a career.
Apparently while I was building a reputation and life in civilian society I was also paying your wages, feeding and housing you for 18 years. Every working stiff in the country is in your debt for our security, but we paid for it. I would not ever support cutting you off from a fair share of what I was able to earn while you watched my back. I think you should repay that loyalty to you for all those years with at least some realization that we worked together to build this nation. You did your part, and I did mine. Now, instead of being able to reap the rewards of a lifetime of service both of us are faced with an ongoing fight to protect ourselves from the greed and avarice of a powerful and concerted drive to impoverish, not just us, but our children and our children's children for the benefit of an elite few.
