Wanting to 'do something' about a leader (especially a criminal one) is much different than a political dissident.

Then, in this case, I too am a traitor.

But unfortunately for you, in the United States and the spirit of its founding, dissent is patriotic, not treasonous.

Well, yes we have a right to spit on it. Even the Phelps family has a right to express their opinions about how wonderful it is when our "fag" troops die.

The point of freedom of speech is to protect even the most unpopular of sentiments.

But this is irrelevant to Cindy Sheehan, seeing as her sentiments (anti Iraq War) are very much far from being the minority. Much of the resentment toward her is pretty much carried over from the times when our media was spinning lies around her (at a time when the war was more popular). I don't see at all how protesting an illegal and unjust war is at all spitting on our country. If anything, this administration and their mindless crony supporters are spitting on our country when they use our troops as expendables in their quest to fill up their huge SUV's and assure their place as the top imperial power. Not to mention when they think it's worth the blood of American soldiers to expand their buddy's profit margins. But hey, I like people and my country over the dollar bill...but that's just me.... you know, a traitor.
