When is it Treason?

A letter to the citizens of Iowa, Georgia, Vermont and Pennsylvania, because Specter has been a target too.

Wonder what the fellow who organized those nasty Club for Growth ads against Max Cleland and Howard Dean is up to? Well, one thing Stephen Moore is not doing, when he goes to talk to the people at the Hudson Institute, is touting his connection to that infamous group. No, when he's at a conservative think tank, he's just the President of the Free Enterprise Fund and the Cato Institute.
But his message is no less bent on destruction. Though he's fairly happy that our system of welfare no longer supports mothers and children like it used to, and more children are living in poverty than before, there's no question he's not satisfied that the "wars" against "the legal system, the tax code, and the Social Security program," which in his book are "corrupt and decaying institutions" are far from complete.
Which is why he says, "we must seize control of the next generation of wealth. In the next 10-20 years, trillions of dollars of wealth will be passed through trusts, foundations and inheritances. . . .We must. . .insure that money that is meant to build-up free market institutions isn't intercepted and used to tear them down."
While that sounds like a pretty ambitious agenda, it's really very simple. What the "we" Stephen Moore is speaking of want is to destroy our public institutions so their secular religion, the free market can reign supreme and they can do whatever they want.
No rules, no obligations, no legislative restrictions. Sounds like any crook's ideal. So, my question is, at what point does a conspiracy to destroy our government become treason? How many more people, who stand in the way of the Club for Growth, are going to have to be destroyed before the rest catch on that they're next?
