“A nation can survive its fools, even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within....for the traitor appears not to be a traitor...he rots the soul of a nation...he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist.”

Oh absolutely....especially in light of how the World Government is beginning to take shape...... You see this same happening on the world stage as leaders and parties attempt to position themselves for when the decisions are made to appoint those who will sit at that table to Govern the world....which is also why the Arab springs are happening...they need leaders in those countries willing to cooperate with a One world System and the oil revenues are of great importance.
Every nations leader will bring something to the table to make them significant enough to gain further position and power closest to the top when it's in place.....resources, revenue flow, and this will include the wealthiest of churches in time.
Have you looked at the holdings of Romney's Mormon/LDS Church of late? ...Which is why Santorum will never win...he has nothing tangible to bring on board..
