I do dare to call it Treason!

In 1964, when Barry Goldwater ran against Lyndon Johnson, a man named John A. Stormer self-published a book called None Dare Call It Treason. It accused America’s left-leaning elites of paving the way for a Soviet victory in the Cold War. The book sold 7 million copies, but Johnson crushed Goldwater in the election.

Today the psychopath in the White House and his toadies in Congress are showing us that they are perfectly willing to totally destroy our country and turn it over to Russia if they can remain part of the privileged class.

We all know the litany of Trumps thumbing his nose at the Constitution, his absolute belief that he is above the law and can do whatever the hell he wants to do. But now, he wants the DOJ and the FBI to start 'outing' intelligence sources, regardless of the danger not only to the sources and their families, but also to our entire Criminal Justice system but also our entire Intelligence capabilities. How many people to you think would become spies of 'confidential informants' if there was no guarantee that they wouldn't be outed at the whim of some governmental asshole?

This is treason!
