True.

In the past, the conservative movement has been most successful when all three groups have gotten along. Obviously, there will be sincere disagreements from time to time—that is in the nature of conservatism.

But when we are at our best, we realize that the true enemy is not the guy who is less conservative than you want him to be, but the across-the-board liberal who would like to destroy us all.

“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 fear.” – Marcus Tullius Cicero 42 B.C


Your namesake’s comments also apply well regarding disruptors and trolls at FR.
