American Citizens: What is the definition of a traitor....?

Question

Is betraying your countrymen a detrimental act....? Or is it beneficial.....? No attacking peoples political preference just answer the question..........

Answer 1

DO U THINK THEY HAVE?
I DONT

Answer 2

This is a very interesting and difficult question. There are so many exceptions and grey areas that any answers can be a wrong one.

I fundamentally believe that a traitor is a person who did something that opposes to the underlying belief and principle of the US consitution. However, if he violates the rules and laws to uphold the fundamental principle and constitution of the United States, he is not a traitor.

But yet there are still so many cases that it will be hard to make calls.

For example, you pledges your loyalty to America. Does it apply to the government ? What if the governing body is violating the laws and the rights of the people in the US ? If you have go against that governing body, does it means you are a traitor ?

If you have exposed the wrong doing of a governing person or party, do you consider as a traitor ?

Say if some congressman or president ask you to kill someone because he vocally oppose to him, will you do it ?

If the military or CIA head order you to field test some biological/ chemical weapons on some foreign people, for the sake of developing new weapon to defend the US. Will you do it ? If you do, are you violates the Human Rights of what US values and always upholds. ? If you don't, aren't you not consider following orders and not "loyal" ?

One must ask him/her self what makes him loyal to this country.

Answer 3

Bush forged 9/11 and other event, it is a treason.

The Illuminati are forging the "right major crisis" they need to make the Nations accept their New World order, ruled by the martial law.
They are the Illuminatis, and they own us,
This is the New World Order, and it is your future if the world don't wake up :

“Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”

"We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order."
David Rockefeller: Statement to the United Nations Business Council in September 1994
"For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with other around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it." David Rockefellers memoirs (2002)

Answer 4

A traitor is someone who either profits at the cost of the country,
Someone who hurts their country on purpose.

Things that are treason:

Selling state secrets.
Selling weapons or defense technology.
Tipping off other countries about tactics.
Accepting money from foreign interests for a vote.
Governments that govern in the best interest of anyone aside from the people of the country.

Essentially a traitor is someone who takes sides against their country.

Answer 5

A traitor would be someone who is working against the fundamental American system... working to bring it down, to hurt it or damage it.

By American system, I am referring to the constitutional rights, laws and civil liberties of this country. By this definition, Bush, and many republicans, should be considered a traitors.

Both of them have worked diligently to create legislation that violates the constitution and privacy rights of American citizens; thereby, undermining the American way of life. The Supreme Court has even recently been slapping Bush on the wrist concerning some of his unconstitutional executive orders.

Answer 6

Most Republicans, George W. Bush

Answer 7

How about someone not showing up for their Air National Guard duty(George Bush). Deserter.

Answer 8

It depends.

A traitor can either be for good or bad.

It all depends on the situation.
