Obedience to The Government and Not The Constitution is Treason
by Your no doubt aware of my article on "the Constitution: it does matter." Well here’s another one of my rants about the Constitution mattering more than politics.

What makes a person a traitor? Is it defying the country? Raising arms against the government? Is it someone who betrays the principles of their countries founding fathers? or is it people who make a claim that defending the government and not the principles, is loyalty? I ask you the reader: what do you consider an act of treason?
To me an act of treason is when the leaders and it’s followers abandon reason and common sense to promote their best interests.
What Emperor Bush, his servant Darth Cheney and War Minister Rumsfeld is such an act. They went ahead with the invasion of Iraq with Congressional approval and those that voted for them considered it UN-American not to attack Iraq.
What do they know of being an American when they haven’t read the constitution?
If they had read the Constitution, they would know that Article One, Section Eight of the constitution clearly says that Congress has the power to declare war, not the office of the President.
Yet ever since Emperor Bush and Darth Cheney’s ascension to the throne, they have chosen not to go to congress for any approval and those in congress choose not to defy them out of loyalty to the party. Even with Bush and Cheney out of office, the office of the President continues to disregard the constitution not just when it comes to war, but civil liberties.
Even after 9/11 and controversy of Abu Ghraib, their still is no regard for the 8th and 4th amendment, both have been disregarded in the so-called “war on terror” and “national security”. We’ve seen through the lies and we know for a fact that what Congress, the Senate, the House and the office of the President are ones who have committed acts of treason against the United States and it’s people.
So I ask you, the reader again: What is treason?
