The term is often bandied about by those on the Right who want to smear anyone who dissagrees with the current administrations policies in the so called war on terror. But to me, TREASON is to willfully abandon the principles that made our country great, in favor of partisanship. We should always first be loyal Americans and not PARTY MEMBERS. I have for the last several years, watched this administration defecate on our constitution.

I have watched mean spirited partisanship rip our country apart and create a divide which in fact may never be healed. And I have watched arrogance triumph over right, time and time again. It has been well documented here and in other places, and yet the vast numbers of the American public have remained silent or oblivious to the real damage being done to our country.

There are many conservatives who I respect, a few who I truly like. I sit astounded at times that they can not see, or refuse to see, what I see... which is a slow erosion of our fundamental rights as Americans and a gross violation of what we are supposed to stand for as a nation. I try to believe that they are innocent... that they are simply blinded by their own faith in a man and an adminstration that long ago lost the right to that faith, but as days go by, and outrage follows outrage, I begin to wonder. This article is a must read. The subjects of the article will be called traitors by some, but to me they stand for the finest examples of American Patriotism. They, Conservatives all, chose to be Americans first. Isn't it time that some of those out there who have been the biggest apologist for this administration chose the same path? Or in the end, in a diminished America, will those of us who chose to fight the lonely fight, be called traitors... while those who betrayed the principles of our country re-write history, while destroying 230 years of the greatest democracy on earth?
