Here’s a lesson from Rome that’s appropriate to our times:

“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 murder is less to fear.”

Another lesson is to stand fast against the leftists constantly attacking the foundations of our republic.

True. Thanks for posting this. It is the treason. It looks like GW and his group are going through with the N A U thing whether the American people like it or not. I will bet he and his cronies are not going to do anything about what we want regarding the illegals. I never liked or trusted his father; but this seems to be what GW was brought into the Presidency for. To finish his father and other’s vision of a global world. I just wish they had let us in on it.
