Most Americans were born as Americans. Our citizenship, and presumably our loyalty to the institutions and processes of our democracy, are our birthright. Since the 60's however, a new breed of Americans have come on the scene.

Some might view the American captured in Afghanistan, John Walker Lindh, as an anomaly or just a spoiled, confused child. I don't. I see the trend beginning with Jane Fonda and John Kerry's radical attacks on the war in Vietnam, and continuing through today. For some, mostly Liberal Democrats, their allegiance to the US is contingent on the policies of the US.

This is dangerous, for many reasons. First and most simply, it gives aid and comfort to our enemies during war. Jane Fonda in the 60s/70s, and John Kerry in the 60s/70s, 90s and 00s, act as "tokyo roses" supplying propaganda and even political victories to our enemies.

More complex are the recent attacks on the institutions of our democracy. The release of secret information by the NYT and others is nothing less than an attempt to circumvent our democracy. Democrats lost the election in 2000 (albeit narrowly), and they lost the election in 2004. THey presented their agenda and policies to the American electorate, and the electorate chose the agenda and policies of President Bush instead.

Now, they are seeking to use "extra" constitutional means to destroy the results of the election. If Bush is president, they do not feel it necessary to remain loyal to the country of their birth. If it means criticizing the war effort, or even violating laws by releasing top secret information--they are determined to nullify the election.

In effect, they are committing mutiny and treason. The Dems lost the election. As usual, libs consider themselves more intelligent and worthy than the general electorate. They are not loyal to the country or Bush, if either goes against their wishes.

Conditional loyalty is no loyalty at all. It is treason.
