Dissent is disloyalty

Overview

Equating dissent with treason is basically taking the principle that division is weakness and extending it logically: if disagreement makes a country weak, then expressing dissent is equivalent to knowingly helping the enemy, and is therefore equivalent to treason.

Members of the Bush II administration have often made this equivalence, as have many of its supporters in the media, even though the idea is completely unamerican in nature and counter to the express beliefs of the US founding fathers.
