As the Roman Republic was dying, as is the The Republic of the United
States, the great Roman Senator, Marcus Tullius Cicero, in the year 42 B.C.
discussed what is going on in the Halls of Congress, the White House and
the Supreme Court when he said:

"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 gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the
galleys, heard in the very hall of government itself. For the traitor
appears not a traitor—he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and
wears their face and their garments, and 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 a city—he
infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is
less to be feared. The traitor is the carrier of the plague......." Cicero,
42 B.C.

Think about it!!!!
