....is either a traitor, or treasonous.


Pray, explain the distinction.


No problem. Treason is a traitorous act, and a traitor is the person
committing the traitorous act.

If you have any other questions such as the above, perhaps you can look
them up at dictionary.com, to save yourself some embarrassment.

That much is obvious, but your chosen usage belies a poor grasp of your
[presumably] native language, if not, as so often in the past, the facts of
a particular issue.

Your original quote was "...Yeah, yeah, anybody who doesn't goose step to
the party is either a traitor, or treasonous..." So, this particular
person is either a traitor or treasonous. As the two words are merely
different form of the same root, the former the noun and the latter the
adjective, your statement is akin to saying "That car is either red or red".
A traitor has, by implication, performed a treasonous act. One who has
performed a treasonous act is, by definition, a traitor.

Given that your statement makes no sense in the original format, my query
was simply an attempt to ascertain your intended meaning. Perhaps a
pointless endeavor.

...perhaps you can look
them up at dictionary.com, to save yourself some embarrassment.


Hmmm. Yes, perhaps.

Nope. Treason IS the root. Traitor is the root of traitorous.

the former the noun and the latter the
adjective, your statement is akin to saying "That car is either red

or red".
A traitor has, by implication, performed a treasonous act. One who

has
performed a treasonous act is, by definition, a traitor.


See above. a traitor is "one who betrays one's country, a cause, or a
trust, especially one who commits treason."

Treason, on the other hand is "violation of allegiance toward one's
country or sovereign, especially the betrayal of one's country by
waging war against it or by consciously and purposely acting to aid its
enemies.
A betrayal of trust or confidence."

So, all of that being said, you could be a traitor, by betraying your
country, without being guilty of treason.

Given that your statement makes no sense in the original format, my

query
was simply an attempt to ascertain your intended meaning. Perhaps a
pointless endeavor.


As proved above, it makes great sense.

...perhaps you can look
them up at dictionary.com, to save yourself some embarrassment.


Hmmm. Yes, perhaps.


If you would, you'd know that my original sentence, "Yeah, yeah,
anybody who doesn't goose step to the party is either a traitor, or
treasonous" used both correctly.

I see the same cowards are still on a boat group spouting treasonous
****.
The best part is by 2009 Republicans could have up to 80% of the Senate
and
Congress. Jeb Bush will be President. The intelligent left (hard to
believe
but there are some) is starting to see President Bush is right.
KKKrause and
asskisser with there canadian butt buddy are hating it. Patriots in the

superbowl and terrorist loving, baby killers crying. Life is good!

Between the traitors and fascists, it's truly amazing we ever get
around to discussing boats, isn't it?

Thanks for elevating the tone of the NG with your intelligent, boating
related comments.
