The reason why I put those definitions is someone who I haven't talked about for a bit, Pat Robertson, said on his 700 Club show on Decemenber 7 that Democrats are committing treason for speaking out against the war in Iraq.

Now it's funny how this same logic can apply to Bush.

Valerie Plame, The whole Iraq War (If you look at the definition under noun which is a crime the undermines the offender's government as well as disloyalty by virtue of subversive behavior)

But of course republicans don't even see the facts here and just go on their own merry way in denial.

Sad isn't it??
