So dissent is now "treason"?

I thought it was the highest form of patriotism.

When did that change? Recently, by any chance?

It changed long ago. Don't you remember how the opponets of the Iraq war were treated? They were called "treasonous" among other names. I remember people on the right saying that the Dixie Chicks should be prosecuted and hung for treason. Now that the shoe is on the other foot, dissent is called "patriotism". Sheesh!

Just seems odd that those groups that tend to disagree with the current admin are being singled out. As some mentioned before why didn't she mention islamic people, blacks, hispanics etc.
Hispanic gang violence is at an all time high. One might think that breaking the back of these gangs would be of a higher priority than pointing fingers at Vets such as myself who have served with honor. But then again the left has always distrusted the military. In the words of Bill Clinton " I loath the military"
By the way I have never been approached by any group right or left. That is unless you count the NRA which I declined. Or the ASPCA which I donate to. Perhaps you would count the United way. I donate to them also.
I did throw an Obama supporter off my property last fall. He called me a racist because I didn't want a vote Obama sign in my yard. If the idiot had looked around he would have no other signs in my yard. I don't use my property to advertise for anyone. But hey thats the mentality. How many posts have we seen. The military are only trained to murder and rape innocent people.
