Practicing subversion

Did the Republicans consort with and give aid in the form of advice to the government of Iran? If someone declares you his enemy, isn’t he then your enemy? Iran has declared the United States its enemy at least since 1979, when it called us the “Great Satan.”

The ayatollah’s 47 Republican pen pals committed treason with their subversive letter but with the condensed description of treason in our U.S. Constitution, they got away with it. According to the dictionary and thousands of years of law worldwide, they are guilty. They are 47 shining examples of human weasel hybrids. They committed treason knowing that our pared-down Constitution would let them weasel out of it.

The dictionary describes treason as: 1. Betrayal, treachery; the Republicans sent a letter of advice to Iran’s government, circumventing President Obama. 2. Breach of allegiance toward the government; they rendered aid in the form of advice to Iran’s government with the purpose of derailing our negotiations with them. And they let a freshman senator lead them into this traitorous act of political cowardice.

The Republicans have gone from obstruction to subversion. Let’s get rid of these poor excuses for public servants.
