WOW, when someone of Boehner's stature comes out with a statement LIKE THAT, you KNOW things are REALLY REALLY BAD. Basically he is saying the Democratic Party itself is guilty of HIGH TREASON in an attempt to further its POLITICAL AGENDA. Its one thing for a nobody like me to say that, as I always have felt it so for some time now, but for him to say that, you know its only THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG. Now if the MEDIA REALLY wanted to find hot news stories THERES where they should MINE. jdn

Great article......I'm proud of Boehner. It does bring up a few very potent questions. Fist and most importantly......just what is all of this leaking about? I have been anguishing over how our govt would be conducted under a dem admin. The most important issue for me is the safety of our nation and protecting it against attack. Some say that they need to leak information as a warning that our "rights" are being whittled away. This supposed altruistic concern for "rights" extends to terrorists and their "rights" and is supposed to protect us all and all of that. Logic tells me this is balderdash. Are some people within the govt actually on the side of those who wish to destroy the complicated and powerful machine.....America? China, Russia???? Are they being paid by forces who wish our demise? (traitors) Do they desire a more socialist approach and wish to concentrate power among their leaders, hoping that social equality would overwhelm and convince bad guys with desires of a world wide caliphate that America is going down a different/better path and just please leave us alone? They could say; see.......we are good and righteous....our only concern being the little person, the little guy, like all of the people here, in America the people of your tribe will be much better off because of the goodness of equality. Or maybe they have more totalitarian goals like the caliphate lovers and wish to form an army of supporters of their totalitarianism. A large army capable of crushing everything that stands is the way of their goals? Plausible? I don't know...........just asking questions. Why has there been a fevered and concentrated effort to leak American secrets? I know that these leaks are designed to crush conservatism but maybe they are designed to crush democracy too? I don't think these leakers, and their supporters have given much thought to an enemy that wishes to destroy all of us indiscriminately with bio, chem and nuke weapons. Which makes them as dangerous as religious or greed driven fanatics.
