Bush is a traitor to the Spirit of the United States.
Our economic system is based on mercantilism. Our system of laws are based of the Bible and democracy. If we are a people of God then why do we base are every move worldwide on our economic power and very little on our system of laws. Basically when people threaten our economic stabiilty and say bad stuff in Iraq about us we attack with full power top protect our economic interest but when people are being slaughtered in Bosnia or dying in the Sudan of hunger then those same people who were so ready to go to war to protect our economic interest are silent when there is talk of protecting the weak and enblazening the Spirit of the United States.
Am I a traitor as Ann Coulter put it???

Under the Patriot Act of 2001, under Military Order Number 1 signed by President George Bush on 13 Nov, 2001, and as held by the 4th Cicuit Court of the United States Court of Appeals (case No. 02-7338 [Hamdi v. Rumsfeld]), yes you are not only a traitor, but you can be held as an Enemy Combatant.
An Enemy Combatant has no rights under the Constituion regardless of their citizenship status (Hamdi v. Rumsfeld). You do not have to be charged. If you are charged, you will be not be tried in a court by a jury of your peers, but rather in a military commission (Military Order #1, Sec. 4).
If, by some miracle of legal maneuvering, you are found not guilty of a crime with which you are charged, you do NOT have to be released (Hamdi v. Rumsfeld). Also, you have no course of redress of grievances against the government. Under Military Order #1 Sec. 7 (b) (2) "the individual shall not be priviledged to seek any proceeding, directly or indirectly, or to have any such remedy or proceeding sought of the individual's behalf in, (i) any court in the United States, or any State thereof, (ii) any court of any foreign nation, or (iii) any international tribunal."
If you are found guilty under a crime under the Patriot Act, you will be incarcerated in a Federal prison for the amount of time determined by the military judge and you can be put to death[Military Order #1 Sec. 4 (a)].
If you are willing to take the time to read the laws that have been passed since 9/11/01, you will see that we have been placed under limited martial law. The Patriot Act of 2001 (an Orwellian Doublespeak term if there ever was one) effectively removed all of our rights under the Constitution.
I dare anyone to take the time to read the laws and prove me wrong. If you can find the cases that disprove my statements, I'll post a full retraction and send you $1,000 cash. I know my money is safe b/c I'm not wrong.

We don't send troops to Bosnia and Sudan because there is no one there that represents a threat to US. (Of course, Iraq didn't either, but that's another issue.)
No nation that is unwilling to defend itself can survive. It's not about mercantileism or insults or biblical directives or international law. It's about eliminating threats to our nation and its people. Now, in my opinioin, Iraq did not represent a threat to the United States. I think Bush was wrong. I think it might have been about oil as much as about the perceived threat.
And no, you are not a traitor. Speaking your mind is the absolute hallmark of America. This entire concept of being a traitor if you disagree with the President is mindless, pointless, and totally against everything the United States stands for.

Full of it, yes. A traitor? No.
Our Constitution allows you to voice your opinion of our government and our leaders without fear of reprisal from either. That's what the First Amendment is all about.
Words alone do not make someone a traitor. Deeds that meet the legal definition of the word "treason" do.
As long as you do nothing but talk - and show your ignorance, by the way - you're basically harmless.

I don't think our economy is heavily based on mercantilism.... We have a free market, meaning we can trade with whomever we choose. We import from all over the world and export to anyone that will buy (except communist countries like Cuba).
I don't think the troops need to be in Iraq any longer. And, as far as starving people, the US has their own soil it needs to take care of....

I don't know that your a traitor, you are welcome to any opinion you want though in your case you are wrong. Whether the WMD's existed or not, we believed at one time in there existence, and went to war with Iraq because we felt they were a threat to our country. We have at times gotten into conflicts to help our allies, like Kuwait in the first gulf war, but we are certainly not obligated to send our soldiers to every conflict on the globe. As far as looking out for our economic interest we would be pretty stupid if we didn't. If you don't care about your economic stability and want to help all of the people in poor third world countries feel free to send them all of your money, but don't feel like you have to make the rest of us tax-payers do it with you.

You're heroically misinformed. "Our system of laws are based of (sic) the Bible and democracy"?
You've got to be kidding me with this gibberish.
Our system of laws IS based on English Common Law dating to the Magna Carta. Our system of laws was never based on the Bible because the Founding Fathers were men of The Enlightenment, their recent history was one of relligious hysteria - the burning of witches and the Inquisition. They knew all too well what religion was capable of. While they were spiritual men who believed in a higher power, they were first and foremost MEN OF REASON. Something you religious wingnuts cannot get through your thick skulls and childish fairy tales.
