I read of Benedict Arnold in a recent story in the Smithsonian. His actions were traitorous, but did not act to weaken and destroy American Constitutional system to the extent of the self-declared President of the United States of America - Barack Hussein Obama.
Why say, effectively that I am a Muslim" or if there ever becomes an Islam/American conflict I will be on the side of Islam. And then perform traitorous acts upon our country as PUSA?
I cannot understand the American media ignoring these statements or acknowledging obamas traitorous actions, even the most conservative Fox News of Rupert Murdoch's and Roger Aisles directions.

Benedict Arnold
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
- For other people of the same name, see Benedict Arnold (disambiguation).
Benedict Arnold (January 14, 1741 — June 14, 1801) is America's most notorious traitor. A general in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, he defected to the Britishside when he became disaffected due to perceived grievances he had suffered at the hands of the Continental Congress and the military. Corruption charges filed against him by Pennsylvania civil authorities and his mounting debts also contributed to his decision to switch sides. He strongly opposed and was very indignant at the decision by the Continental Congress to form an alliance with France, having experienced a bitter defeat at the hands of the French and their Indian allies during the French and Indian War.
In 1780 he formed a plot to take control of the fort at West Point, New York and hand it over to the British. This would have given the Tory forces control of the Hudson River valley and split the colonies in half. The plot was thwarted, but Arnold successfully evaded capture by Continental forces. As a reward he was given a commission as Brigadier General in the British Army, along with a reduced award of £6000 sterling.
