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 against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the
gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the
very halls of government itself. For the
traitor appears no 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. The traitor is the carrier of the plague.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It could be rewritten in the following manner, and then it also would remind me of his fellow Alinsky-ite Hillary Clinton:
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
she is known and she carries her banners openly against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the
gates freely, her sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the
very halls of government itself. For the
traitor appears no traitor; she speaks in the accents familiar to her victims,
and she wears their face and their garments, and she appeals to the baseness
that lies deep in the hearts of all women.
She rots the soul of a nation; she works secretly and unknown in the night
to undermine the pillars of a city; she infects the body politic so that it can
no longer resist. A murderer is less to be
feared. The traitor is the carrier of
the plague.
Both of these traitors stoke the fires of racial and gender disaffection; and
for the same reason: they think they
have to destroy America to save it. Mark
my words: they will only destroy, they will not save.
And that's all their supporters want from them.
