Re: They get the same treatment any traitor deserves...
People may have a different vision for America than yours. And in their different visions, they may care more about America than you do.
And how can you arrogate to yourself the power to determine who is a traitor or not? Would you give Duray or Baldur the same power?
Many consider shorting American stocks to be a traitorous act. Especially when the nation is at war against Terrorism, and economic resources are scarcer, shorting decreases stock prices, increases economic pressures on American companies, and gives comfort to America's enemies. Do you think that Osama Bin Laden, if alive, enjoys the daily carnage in the US stock markets?
If a foreign power was consistently shorting the US stock market, would the US government consider it a hostile act? Would you?
So while you have so confidently labelled others as traitors, some may label you a traitor to the American economy for shorting at a time of war. It's so comforting to be a Patriot and make money. Especially when you are surrounded by traitors.
"In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, Brave, Hated, and Scorned. When his cause succeeds however,the timid join him, For then it costs nothing to be a Patriot. "
