I have to wonder if anyone reads it anymore; except perhaps the ACLU in misapplying the contents of the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. However, I am referring to a seemingly little noticed, and never put into action portion known as Article 3, Section 3, which states: “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, OR IN ADHERING TO THEIR ENEMIES, GIVING THEM AID AND COMFORT” (emphasis added.)
The question is: When Senator Harry Reid states in a press conference on April 19, 2007, “Now I believe myself…that this war is lost…” is he, or is he not, giving aid and comfort to our enemies? If you have read of the absolutely joyful responses of our Islamofascist enemies, you can only conclude that they received much aid and comfort from his words.
And, what about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi making herself some kind of self-appointed Secretary of State and flying off to the Middle East to meet with Syria’s President Bashar Assad, and stating “I believe the road to Damascus is the road to peace”? Who does she think she’s kidding?
Back again to our late lamented Constitution, which states (Article 2, Section 2) that the President, besides being the Commander in Chief of our armed forces, is the only one with the power to make treaties, appoint ambassadors, etc. (By the way, I suppose the taxpayers footed the bill for Mrs. Pelosi’s unauthorized and expensive journey, which doubtless gave much aid and comfort to our enemies.)
The list is long of those in Congress, who by opposing and frustrating legislation funding our military efforts in Iraq, have been giving aid and comfort to our enemies. Is there anyone among the Republican leadership, without jello for a backbone, who has the guts to call these people to account?
Only the Lord knows the count, but I believe those who seem to have only one agenda (Hate and Destroy President Bush) will one day have to give account for many more deaths among the U.S. military than would otherwise occur. If they are patriots, then Aaron Burr was George Washington’s best friend!
We need to read and apply the Supreme Law of the land, which is our Constitution. The clause on “aiding and abetting our enemies” is clear and explicit English. Treason is treason, so let’s call treasonous conduct by its right name!
