--> "WE CALLED THEM TRAITORS"...and everyone laughed... by Tom Adkins.

For years, conservatives claimed liberals were bent on destroying the United States. We suspected they were willing to ruin lives, even actively ruin America to gain political power and turn America into a socialist state.

We called them traitors. And everyone laughed.

We said liberals were anti-American. We said they were traitors. And we watched the evidence mount. The Rosenbergs. Whitaker Chambers. The Church Commission. The counter culture. So-called “peace protesters.” Jane Fonda. Jimmy Carter’s arrogant socialist smile. The pro-Sandinista Congress.

We called them traitors. And everyone laughed.

Democrats voted against Desert Storm. Bill Clinton kicked the terrorist can down the road, then sold rocket guidance technology to the Red Chinese in exchange for three million bucks “donated” to the DNC through Chinese front companies. Shamed Senator Robert Torricelli emasculated the CIA.

We called them traitors. And everyone laughed.

We claimed liberals were creating failure and misery, so they could build a massive welfare state to honor their hero, Karl Marx. We said they were pitting one American against another, balkanizing us into little groups. We noted liberals attacked and destroyed the morality that had preserved the individual freedom the desperately wanted to crush. And when we tried to fix what had gone terribly wrong, conservatives claimed liberals stood in the way.

We called them traitors. And everyone laughed.

We noted the lockstep media, with a left wing agenda. We warned about the failing black culture. We observed liberals would sell out anyone for an extra ounce of political mojo. When California’s congressional Democrats were caught discussing how to sabotage their state economy to get more votes, conservatives claimed this was proof of the left wing conspiracy to ruin their own people to gain political power.

We called them traitors. And everyone laughed.

We conservatives always knew that rank-and-file liberals, at best, are incredibly naïve. At worst, they’re scheming moochers, sucking off their hard-working countrymen. At best, we know liberal leaders are arrogant megalomaniacs, seeking power and control. At worst? They’re anti-American, bent on destroying the individual freedom and gathering power at any cost.

We called them traitors. And everyone laughed.

Yes, everyone laughed at us. You know, that special haughty laugh that only a sneering, smug elitist can muster when hiding their true intentions.

But then came that Senate Intelligence Committee memo, proving Democrats were plotting to attack our own President by specifically using intelligence data and security secrets, with our troops in harms way in the middle of a war. It is time to stop the music. It is time to raise the curtain. At this point, there can be no further denials. No head-scratching introspection. No politics-as-usual shoulder shrugging.

Democrats are traitors.

Sadly, Republicans have simply not mastered the art of outrage. If Republican Senators had done this to a Democrat President, it would be a super-scandal, far beyond Watergate and Whitewater. Investigations and resignations would have already happened. Movies would have been made. But Republicans are meek and mild, and make sad speeches about “disappointment” and such.

Since Republicans don’t have the guts to say what must be said, let’s allow a Democrat to say a few words. Here’s Zell Miller: "I have often said that the process in Washington is so politicized and polarized that it can't even be put aside when we're at war. Never has that been proved more true than the highly partisan and perhaps treasonous memo prepared for the Democrats on the Intelligence Committee. Of all the committees, this is the one single committee that should unquestionably be above partisan politics. The information it deals with should never, never be distorted, compromised or politicized in any shape, form or fashion. For it involves the lives of our soldiers and our citizens. Its actions should always be above reproach; its words never politicized. If what has happened here is not treason, it is its first cousin. The ones responsible--be they staff or elected or both should be dealt with quickly and severely sending a lesson to all that this kind of action will not be tolerated, ignored or excused. Heads should roll!"

So let me be the first conservative to step forward and say what must be said.

Finally, after years of suspicion and accusations, we not only found the smoking gun, we found the bullets, the target, the secret plans, and the conspirators plotting to politically assassinate a President who is guilty of protecting out nation from terrorists. Unmasked and caught red-handed, the modern Democrat is a traitor. They should be treated no differently than the Rosenbergs; tried in a court of law, convicted, and suffer the harshest punishment. Death by firing squad, preferably. On TV, if possible.

Because this is not merely a game. When you become a politician, you represent your country. You have taken an oath to defend your nation. If you rise to the level of Senator, you are, as they endlessly remind us, co-leader of the entire nation. When you break a law, it is magnified a thousand times, because your action can affect millions of Americans. And if you commit treason, the very survival of your nation has been compromised.

That is why it is critical that Republicans not only dig around to see who wrote the memo, they should shout to the mountaintops, from coast to coast, city to city, town to town, They should demand, seek, and find justice. And they should demand, seek, and punish.

When your nation’s survival is at stake, there is nothing to laugh about.

Amen.

The book Witness by Whittaker Chambers is one of the best books ever written.

Now c'mon Tom.

Don't you know that those nasty Republicans 'stole' the memo that proves Democrat guilt. Doesn't that absolve the Democrats of all wrongdoing?

End sarcasm mode.

Great article, Tom. Now let's just hope someone is paying attention.

They are traitors. They will do anything for political power, and the will weaken and destroy this country if we let them.

Excellent and all true. And whenever a national socialist [liberal democrat] says, "Are you questioning my patriotism?", the correct answer is, "No, because you are a traitor and a member of the party of treason, nothing less".

"When your nation’s survival is at stake, there is nothing to laugh about."

Problem is, they don't want the nation to survive...at least not in the way WE mean.

Today I heard Chuck Schumer saying that the Bush administration was talking more about "exits" and not about victory. HE obviously has been reading our posts, and used conservative's very own words against the administration...

It was the Republicans' own idea, but THEY didn't say it. Perhaps they might have whispered it. The RATS do their dirty deeds, then take the very words fromt he mouths of R's and use them to attack.

SO?

So President Bush allows Teddy-they-can't-swim to write the education bill and then gives him an award from the Bush Library.

I am not a coward and I'm sick of having to follow those who are. I'm just sick of it.

It's truly a shame that Zell Miller had to step forward before any Senate Pubbie had the balls to call the RATS on this. If the GOP were really serious about this, they'd have the FBI crawling up every RAT senator and staffer's *** on this, because this is not only about using illegal means to undermine the President of the United States, but conspiracy to commit high treason. I think the media knows this, and being somewhat complicit in the conspiracy, that's why they are trying so hard to bury the story.

There are only a few outcomes possible for the democrats. One might be the eventual burden of the welfare City (note I did use the term State) will crumble from lack of support from the country-side. Demcorats with guns will eventually them on one another. Republicans with guns with defend themselves and prevent the social masses who are city dwellers from leaving their tax boundaries and protect freedom:) We can all dream.

Of course, another outcome is that terrorist strikes will materialize in the last bastons of the democrat party, e.g., the cities and these screaming anti-Americans will demand that we destroy Islam under some MAD concept that they never supported. It is no wonder the democratic party does not like guns, prefers birth control for its core voters or gays who do not reproduce, for continued reproduction of those of their creed would be catrostraphic to the long term success of their party:) It far better to convert immigrants for a few generations than to be burdened with promises....

Since treason is a capital offence, do you recommend execution of all democrats?

Personally, I think we should keep a breeding pair around so we can show our children what nearly destroyed civilization.
