The Enemy Within

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not traitor, he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared.”

Marcus Tullius Cicero, Roman orator and statesman, circa 45 B.C.

“Wow!”…I`m thinking….not only are you easy to look at, yet your mind is refreshing as well!
Thank you for your site; I hope to find out where to read more from you. (My second favorite radio talk-show, with Larry Elder), is another link in the chain of truth. I am concerned that the subversion of ordinary folk is a result of media and education system indoctrination, instead of the fair contest of ideas. Sincerely yours, Pablo
