    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.

    Criticising tax and spend policies should always be described as treason.
    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    It is a matter of fact that some who got death penalty because of treason in WW2 and are now national heroes. Times are changing!

    Sorry for tempering.
