Perry calls potential Fed action treasonous

[J.E.D]

The fed was a mistake in 1913...

The Fed was a calculated and willful fraud in 1913.

It still is.

Seems like not very many people understand what 'treason' is.

It is weakening your nation or helping the enemy of your nation. Treason is weakening the United states economy through weakening the dollar, which is helping our enemies grow powerful(china,)

That's the new definition of treason? Is that in Webster's?

Well if you're in power and you work to weaken "your" nation to help a enemy or a enemy nation. Than you would think that is treason, right? Or in this case you sell out the population of your country by giving trillions of there wealth to other nation that strengthen your enemy and to weaken you...

If this is not treason, what the hell is treason. Is it even enforceable anymore? Or does anyone give a flying rats ass about it. This country is finished.

Just a thought. We do not often charge people here with Treason. Not even when they are enemy combatants. The charge itself is a very dangerous power which can easily be abused.

How about your side puts up candidates that aren't insanely irresponsible with their words?

You are kidding, right? Ha! Ha! You had me going there for a minute. Good One.

You forget what you guys were like during the Bush years.

He's talking about candidates, not the base. Dems don't put up candidates who advocate secession and call the fed treasonous.

No, they just accuse a sitting president of stealing elections and war crimes. Michael Moore, a 9/11 Truther, gets to sit next to Jimmy Carter at the 2008 DNC convention. No, the Democrats are much more civil.

It's as if all leftists simply erased from their memories the things they said and did under Bush.

So, that explains the people around you.

I'm sure that seemed clever and witty to you.

It won't once you sober up.

I'd rather not have anything to do with Castro or Chavez. Thank you very much. People like this are following in the foot steps of Che, Po pot, Mao, Stalin.

Sorry to disagree, not only do es the DNC put up fringe Candidates, you set them up to run Committees. You put the most extreme in charge, rather than the most qualified.

Perry: Bernanke would be 'treasonous' to use stimulus again - Aug. 16, 2011

"If this guy [Ben Bernanke] prints more money between now and the election, I don't know what y'all would do to him in Iowa, but we would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas.
I mean, printing more money to play politics at this particular time in American history, is almost treacherous, or treasonous, in my opinion."

I don't want to debate monetary policy, except to say that it seems entirely plausible that the Fed will indeed increase the money supply sometime in the fifteen months. I do want to debate Perry's rhetoric.

Perry's words are clearly part of his populist, anti-Washington appeal, which has served him well in Texas. I think it will continue to help him with the politically active conservative Republicans that he's currently wooing. I think it will be awful for him in the general election.

Perry has many obvious strengths. I think his biggest weakness is that he will scare some voters. Quotes like these will do just that. To me, "treat him pretty ugly down in Texas," conjures up images of some violent action. Similar (indeed, more explicit) quotes got Palin in trouble following the Loughner shootings, and I think Perry's words risk being construed in a very negative light, however he intended them.

Perry's choice of target is a little odd as well. Certainly, Bernanke is not popular. However, he is a pro-business Republican originally appointed to his *independent* agency by a Republican President. It's not particularly plausible that he would damage the economy over which he has accepted stewardship in order to help a Democratic President against a pro-business Republican challenger.

If I were Perry, I would cool it on the angry words and run on my record. Perry has a record of job creation and solid conservativism nearly perfectly in line with the average Republican primary voter. He can capture the nomination as a jobs candidate rather than as a flamethrower and be better positioned to get to the White House.

The Democrats should thank Perry because he just proved that he doesn't know the US Constitution.

Can you name a Dem presidential or vice presidential candidate who said such extreme things as Perry or Palin? You know, like, "The fed is treasonous", "Ask Obama if he loves America", "Pals around with terrorists", "We are the real America". Didn't think so. Thanks for playing.

One can only wonder about the shenanigans going on behind the closed doors of the Federal Reserve. Time for an Audit. Let the chips fall where that may. Let us examine what is going on behind our backs and what exactly is being manipulated, and to what degree before we make determinations on what is Constitutional and what is not. How can anyone blind to what is going on, make an honest claim either way?

I'd rather die then bring Anymore Marxism to America. It is a evil that is against human nature. Perry is not wrong about the worthless fucking fed...It does weaken our currency and does hurt people through making it worthless...

No you didn't. But the accusation was that Dems put up extreme CANDIDATES. Then Moore was offered up as an example. As I said, Moore is not a politician. Get it?

You are splitting hairs here, grasping at straws. You simply gloss over the "they accuse the president of stealing elections and war crimes", and try to prove some point that I was saying Moore was a politician. Very insightful.

Article 3, Section 3 of the US Constitution deals with treason. It defines it. I'll highlight the relevant part for you.

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.
​

Anything Bernanke has done in his official capacity as Fed Chairman doesn't rise to the level of treason.

obie doodle's friend didn't threaten, he did, he blew up bombs at the capital building he launched his career from a terrorist living room and stated in his books he sought out anarchists.. and you voted for him so cry us a fucking river whydonchya?

Obama was like 8 yrs old when all of that took place. The scare tactics didn't sway voters from electing Obama in 08, and they won't work now. Try again.

there's a hellava lot of difference in scare tactics and facts, no trying again, the history won't change, he launched his career from a known terrorists living room. and the wife bernadette dorn was a terrorist too.

What gets me is the blatantly obvious "OBAMA MUST FAIL AT ALL COSTS!!!" shit that's going on. He's starting to remind me of the black knight. Cut off all his extremities/options. He'll still be out there fighting.

Aires wasn't engaging in terrorist activities when Obama launched his campaign. Obama was 8 yrs old when Aires was part of the Weather Underground. Oh, and BTW, Obama didn't launch his campaign from Aires' living room. He held a fundraising dinner there. Politicians of all shapes and sizes do it everyday. Try again. You're not doing too well so far.
