Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
(United States Constitution)
(United States Constitution)
The founding fathers were wise to define treason so narrowly that only a handful of people were charged with treason and fewer were actually convicted.
But this has not stopped brown nosing Bush supporters and Republican talking heads from spouting off all the time that anyone who disagrees with Republicans - especially with golden boy Georgie - using the treason label.

Mace Windu: The Senate will decide your fate.
Chancellor Palpatine: I am the Senate!
Mace Windu: Not yet.
Chancellor Palpatine: It's treason, then.

the previous FOUR assholes elected to the office of the president of the united states have been spending my money plus buckets of imaginary money to pay off the other assholes who helped them get into office. both the republican party and the democratic party are filled almost entirely with apathetic, hypocritical assholes. It is treasonous to spend a country into debt! The best way to stop treasonous asshole spending is to execute traitors. The fewer assholes the better.
