I used caps very few times in that message. If i cant use caps at all, I could easily go through your message history and find plenty of infractions.
I will make no further posts in this topic.
Um, .... I think I'm going to have to side with Mum on this one.
I suspect that it was me who Layla was referring to as announcing "crazy support for violent revolution". I think that her anger should be directed at me, not at Mum.
Mum did not suggest a lynching, she suggested a trial and conviction for Treason -- for providing "aid and comfort" to America's enemies. Mum didn't suggest this because Pelosi though, or said, "Hey, we should support the Communist Terrorists in Colombia." -- She went ahead and DID it. While it's unlikely that this act alone would warrant conviction for Treason, Pelosi has embarked on a pattern of behavior of repeatedly providing "aid and comfort" to America's enemies, and she did (essentially single-handedly) reignite a war between Kurds and Turks in Northern Iraq which could put American Troops in Jeopardy. Just this morning, there was a terrorist attack on our embassy in Turkey.
It is not because Pelosi thinks differently than Mum (or most posters here), it is that she has repeatedly ACTED in ways which provide aid and comfort to America's enemies. Regardless of whether she would be convicted for Treason, she could be arrested and tried more successfully for Espionage or for openly and intentionally violating the Logan Act, which prohibits "any American without authority of the United States," from communicating with a foreign government in an effort to influence that government's behavior on any "disputes or controversies with the United States."
Furthermore, calling someone a traitor does not always imply that that person would be found guilty of the crime of Treason in a trial. It is a clear way of suggesting that that person is ACTING in a way that is opposed to the best interests of America, opposed to the stated policy of the United States, or opposed to the principles on which this nation was founded. In this instance, Nancy Pelosi is "guilty" of all three.
I'm not sure where the hissy-fit came from; but if it was meant to be directed at me, then it should have been directed at me.
Mum's suggestion that Pelosi be tried for some crime against the United States is not far-fetched or ridiculous, and her opinion is shared by a huge number of Americans outside this forum.
