Isn't that really the message of "Criticizing the President during wartime is treason"?

1. Sounds that way to me.
:cry: That's another reason he started the war -- so he could be a "wartime president." :banghead:

He and his followers are seriously fucked up.

Little boy playing at being a big man. Just like all his followers.

9. But he's playing with big-kid toys,
And the lives of our kids.

That's a problem. :scared:

2. I'm one treasonous citizen
I'm also an extremely patriotic veteran and I welcome all attempts to shut me up.

Isn't the line actually, criticizing a republican president during a war which he started because he is an idiot with no leadership skills is a treasonous act punishable by loud shouting from guys with penis issues.

3. If it is the act of a traitor...
If it is the act of a traitor to speak out against the unconstitional acts of my government, to excercise my
rights guaranteed by that Constitution -- the right to publish my opinions and speak my thoughts, the right to petition for a redress of grievances, the right to be secure in my person and property against search and seizure without due process of law -- then I am a traitor. And God grant us many, many more traitors, for we are in dire need of them.


I've been using that quote for years.

6. heh you said "penis"
well...we should all be saying it. God protect us from leaders who react with their hormones rather than their brains.

12. You guys have it all wrong. It's the terrorists who are trying to take
away our freedoms. Oh wait, or is it Bush, and his Patriot Act, and not wanting retired military to speak out?

Sorry, I can't keep up with Bush anymore.
