Karl Rove....
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. Cicero
and
True patriotism sometimes requires of men to act exactly contrary , at one period , to that which it does at another , and the motive which impels them the desire to do right is precisely the same . The circumstances which govern their actions change ; and their conduct must conform to the new order of things
* Robert E. Lee *
I wish there were evidence of treason.
