With so much controversy surrounding Bush and his administration over many, (major) issues, would you agree or disagree that it is healthy for so many U.S. citizens to question our current Government and the actions taken and those currently being taken?
Arguments?

1. Violation of allegiance toward one's country or sovereign, especially the betrayal of one's country by waging war against it or by consciously and purposely acting to aid its enemies.
2. A betrayal of trust or confidence.
Yes, I do know what it is and here are two definitions that define it, too.

What would be truly frightening is if hardly anyone seemed angry of accusatory against the Bush admin.
Personally, I think the Bush admin has done great damage to the country - damage that may take generations to repair.
Americans are free to criticize, mock, protest their President all they want within certain limits. That's the beauty of a free society. And I think Bush and his henchman deserve every bit if it.
However, I also think it would be truly naive to blame Bush and his inner circle for all that's gone wrong. Democrats supported the war in the beginning. And Bush has had his supporters in all aspects of American life.

I agree that it is healthy for many US citizens to question the current Government. That's what we do in a democracy. I would not characterize it as treason but patriotism. Was it treason when the Republicans questioned the Clinton administration?

Treason? Do you even know what the **** treason is? Treason is constitutionally defined as levying war against one's country of citizenship. Bush might make bad decisions from time to time, but he isn't dropping nukes at will on U.S. soil.
In reference to your edit: Those are dictionary definitions, moron. The only form of treason of which the President could possibly be convicted is that which is defined by the Constitution of the United States of America as levying war against one's country of citizenship. So yeah, you're wrong.

Disagree, the President has done a great job for America in the past 7 years!
Think about it ~ the people elected him twice, so that has to say something.
What it tells me, is ... that the people did not trust a Democrat for the security of America, during the time of our great danger for the three years after 9/11/01 and beyond.
Is that questioning his judgement?
Make sense?

Yes, it is healthy.
It is, in fact, what the Framers of the Constitution intended when the guaranteed freedom of expression and the right to petition the govt in the 1st Amendment.
It is also explicit in the Declaration of Independence.

America is a free society, so our founding fathers gave us the freedom to question our current government without recourse.
This is healthy because not everyone agrees with eachother, yet has the right to their own opinion.
Personally, I see President Bush doing all he has done in order to keep America safe and protected. That in itself is the opposite of treason.
..but I am entitled to my opinion, and believe in the rights of others with differing opinions.
That's not treason. It is patriotism.

You know, if Bush had done half the violations that Lincoln and FDR did, he would be hung by now. Give it up.
History will remember G.W. Bush as a great leader and the Democrats will be remembered as poor pathetic political opportunists.
Sorry if the truth hurts.......... but then the dems could never get elected on truth.

Healthy debate is always good for America.
These debates are common place and expected in our society...that is why current debate isn't changing anything.
No not a 'Call to treason' at all.

In my humble opinion it's all spawn by political attacks from the opposition. I don't feel like illegal acts have been committed, if they had been, I think things would be much more serious for Bush.

its always healthy to question governments,i thought the u.s. was proud of its so called freedoms yet the aggression that spills from hateful mouths when you do is frightening.
governments do not grant you freedom,you have to pressure them for every last inch of it,thats our jobs as citizens.
