| Life History/Philosophy: | “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 traitors move amongst those within the gates freely, their 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 nation, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.” Marcus T. Cicero, speech in Roman Senate, 58 BC Joseph Goebbels once said..."when the intended recipients of propaganda refuse to positively acknowledge the message, it then becomes the moral obligation of the propagandist to further "explain" to the ignorant masses what and how to think.. The admonishment, shaming, and mocking of those who fail to grasp the importance the message can be a valuable tool in setting misguided minds on the correct path." Freedom is not free. Free men are not equal. Equal men are not free. "Only the dead have seen the end of war!"--(author unknown) “When we assumed the Soldier, we did not lay aside the Citizen.” --George Washington "Thanks to the interstate highway system, it is now possible to travel from coast to coast without seeing anything"--Charles Kuralt |
