"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 galleys, heard in the very hall of government
itself".
"For the traitor appears not a traitor—he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and wears their face and their garment, 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, 42 B.C.

There is only so much socialist oppression that an independent thinking
person of any nationality can stand.
