"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 gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very hall 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 hearts of 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." - Cicero, 42 B.C.

Cicero may have said that but we need to keep some kind of perspective. These kind of articles make me nervous because the tone reminds me of the things in early German anti-semitic pamphlets: "Your generation will not pass before there will be absolutely no public office, even the highest one, which the Jews will not have usurped... We have among us a flexible, tenacious, intelligent, foreign tribe that knows how to bring abstract reality into play in many different ways..."
Let's never forget the horror that that kind of writing led to in the past.

(Ever notice how the Freepers that have been here longest are the most 'moderate'?)
