"I discovered I have a hot button: the word treason being thrown around casually..."

Sorta like the word "liar" being used in a similar manner. Being wrong isn't necessarily being a liar.

"I fear most of all, that this strategy will lead to its ultimate conclusion of violence against The Other, all of whom are our fellow countrymen. Its not like there is no precedent in this and other countries."

I agree. There is plenty of blame to go around as to who caused it, but the ideological schism in this country is getting worse, and there aren't many who are trying to bring things together again. A glance at the "Red/Blue" counties (not the individual states) provides a pretty good indication of who thinks what.

[BTW, since when did the conservatives get labeled "Red?" Just wondering.]
