Write an op-Ed piece against me, and I'll have you brought up on TREASON charges!

Maybe my reading comprehension is slipping. Who exactly was brought up on treason charges?

She wants Baxter removed from office on grounds of 'treason to the state of Michigan' for portraying an unfavorable business environment.

it seems to me that in the states the word "traitor" and "treason" gets thrown around kinda loosely......

the concervatives were going really trigger happy with it over the iraq war....now it seems they no longer have the monopoly on this idiocy.

Fair criticism, Ronin!

I've never agreed with the loose use of the words traitor/treason for any issue. It significantly takes the taboo-driven sting out of them.

Many liberals have been treasonous over the past few decades. Around here we call them pinkos, but thats a somewhat dated term. Now most people call them the "Michael Moore Crowd". (They tend to smell too... )

Well, that settles that. Anyone you don't agree with is treasonous.

Its a matter of fact that statements made by many on the left were made during WW2 they indeed would have been charged with treason and would have gone to jail for it.
