Traditional Values - Quote on Treason: John Trenchard

"...I know not what treason is, if sapping and betraying the liberties of a people be not treason..."
-- Cato, John Trenchard (1662-1723) & Thomas Gordon (169?-1750)http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/Cato.Quote.6F43

John Trenchard (1662 – 17 December 1723), English writer and Commonwealthman, belonged to the same Dorset family as the Secretary of State Sir John Trenchard.   He developed anticlerical lines of argument in The Natural History of Superstition (1709), and The Independent Whig, a weekly periodical published in 1720-21 with Thomas Gordon. source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Trenchard_(writer)
