We are free to call them traitors. Actually, I think they are extremists. Some are traitors, depending on their actions while we are at war, regardless of their opinions. But most are extremists.

<< It's amazing how those who preach about what a great country this is and how "free" we are, are the first to tell those who openly disagree with them to get out, or call them traitors.... >>

Get out, you traitor! MAN! My freedom of speech really felt good that time!

<< Nothing could be further from the truth of course, because a real traitor is one who fights against their country in foreign wars, or gives secrets away, or refuses to defend the shores and or borders of their country in war. >>

We've got real American men and women suffering from the temperature extremes of the Middle East, in harsh conditions, waiting to rid the world of one of the worst butchers and thugs.

Those that interfere with the defense of our nation, or the support of our troops, are indeed traitors.

<< ... and like some of our founding fathers, do not believe in fighting foreign wars, especially if not directly attacked first. >>

Our founding fathers were great and brave men. I would be willing to bet, if they were informed about a great menace, which could destroy our nation, they would be proactive, and not wait for another disastrous attack, like we got on Sept 11th.

Some people who march against foreign wars are certainly traitors in their hearts, but the vast majority of them are not,

Would you count those who oppose this war primarily because Bush is in office, traitors??

IMO, far too many peaceniks are really more anti-bush, and would not be reacting in this manner were Clinton or Gore proposing the same course of action..
