The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Any Al Qaeda presence = total Al Qaeda presence. Same thing
seriously, this is bad, bad news.
Ok, we’ve all seen the technicals (pickup trucks with mounted weapons) streaming across Libyan highways. Those are the guys that will bring democracy, rights to women, and be reasonable stewards of free thought? Why is the administration so sure of this?!
What other “presidential findings” has this clown signed?
The "aid and comfort" prong of treason has been interpreted
by SCOTUS as requiring proof of four elements:
1. an intent to betray the United States (which can be inferred from);
2. an overt act;
3. witnessed by two people; and
4. that provides aid and comfort to an enemy of the United States.
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious.
But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly.
But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.
For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men.
He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist.
A murderer is less to be feared."
-- Marcus Tullius Cicero
So much will have to be investigated and closed down...

Go tell it on a mountain!
It’s like an avalanche of crap coming down on us, and that’s without a dem House!
