"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 carries his banner openly.
But the traitor moves amongst 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 a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, 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 the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist.
A murderer is less to be feared."
-- Marcus Tullius Cicero

...(the traitor) appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. America was given a choice to choose between Honor or their pockets. Their choice was their pockets. It was right in the polls, the economy was more important that principles in their presidential choice. So our Nation was bought from us with our own money.
Hat's off to all you FReepers, your choice was Honor.
