From my copy of Webster’s New International Dictionary, Second Edition Unabridged, printed in Springfield, Mass., U.S.A., 1946. This is how we defined and understood the term “traitor” after WWII: “... specif., one who violates his allegiance and betrays his country; one who, in breach of trust, delivers his country to an enemy...”
Is the definition lost to us now? It used to be that the Republican Party stood as staunch defenders of America (even as we debated, within and without our borders, its principles). Seems like the time has arrived when many lefties like myself actually long for the G.O.P. of yesteryear.
Oh, if only Reagan could resurrect himself and his party.
