Shall We Line Up The Real Traitors?



I came across this article this evening while surfing the web 'Robert E. Lee - America's Greatest Traitor'
The reasons they are describing in this article got me saying WHAT! WHAT!  You can not be serious, have you taken a look at AMERICA today and yesteryear after the Civil War?:


The Mexican, Central American-American War still continues, with the Federal Government giving aid and comfort to Illegal Immigrants,


American citizens siding with extremists and getting 3 hots and a cot in stead of following Article III Section 3, they deserve 'death'


Politicians having duel citizenship and more for the other country, Israel in particular over the United States of America. What about President Barack Hussein Obama, I bet Robert E. Lee could show you record of his Birth.  The list could go on, but not enough time left in the year.

As far as I'm concerned Robert E. Lee is not a traitor to the United States or The U.S. Army, he resigned due to being an honorable man to fight for his home state because Robert E. Lee was a loyal, noble man he fought for what is really important his Home State, Folk and Family!


Treason is the only crime specifically defined in the U.S. Constitution. Article III Section 3 declares, "Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort." Congress further clarified the definition (18 U.S.C. §2381). "Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years …." (Emphasis added.)


On any honor roll of America's generals, Lee's name is sure to ride high. But it should also top the dishonor roll of our worst traitors.  Upon graduating from West Point in 1829, Robert E. Lee was commissioned a second lieutenant and pursued a career in the U.S. Army. He distinguished himself during the Mexican-American War, and in 1852 was appointed Superintendent of West Point. In 1859, Lee commanded the forces that captured abolitionist John Brown, and in 1861 was promoted to colonel. That same year, three days after his home state of Virginia voted to secede from the Union, Lee resigned his U.S. Army commission and took charge of Virginia's militia.
