A real eye opener

Very interesting article.  Over the past months to years I have seen exactly what she is talking about in this article - "The Real Domestic Terrorists". 

http://www.wnd.com/2013/04/the-real-domestic-terrorists/

At the bottom there is a quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero that was written back in 106 BC, however, it is as though it was written looking into the future -

“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. The traitor is the plague.”

Gosh that quote describes this perfectly! - sm

Love that quote.

I work up early and turned on the news, after spending all day yesterday gripped by the unfolding events. After the commerical, the newscaster said, "It's over."

I don't think "it's over," but that it has just begun.

My goodness. The "anti-federalists" certainly are - feeling defensive these days.

Perhaps that explains the furious surge in conspiracy theory spin these past few days. Carry on.

Delusional comparison. - sm

This spin is even more vertiginous than the Founding Fathers' take on LG's and JMcC's latest subversion of the Constitution.

Excellent article and good comparison - The Sarge - sm

I like this part. Speaks of what is happening today:

"In spite of the diversity that characterized the Antifederalist opposition, they did share a core view of American politics. They believed that the greatest threat to the future of the United States lay in the government's potential to become corrupt and seize more and more power until its tyrannical rule completely dominated the people. Having just succeeded in rejecting what they saw as the tyranny of British power, such threats were seen as a very real part of political life."

Loved the whole article. Speaks of what is happening now.

Only on Planet Hubris where misguided self-absorption and - aggrandizement is a virtue. nm

Don't know where planet Hubris is. If you were trying to insult it didn't work.

My article, along with the person I replied to's article were spot on. It describes what is going on today.

Sorry you don't like it, but that's just a part of life you'll need to get over.

You an always tell when you hit a nerve because they start right away with the lies, "tin foil hat comments" and insults. Shows you they have no knowledge to tear your facts; so, they try to tear down you personally. So easy to see through the little board Commies.

When President Barack Obama promised in February that the $787 billion stimulus bill would unleash "a new wave of innovation, activity and construction," he probably didn't have tidying up gravestones in mind. But that is what some of the money has paid for, along with frozen fish sperm, Taser guns and an ongoing political headache that Obama easily could have avoided. As reporters start to pore over the details of the stimulus spending reports the White House released a little more t ...

The Real ProblemSep 07, 2011
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man ...
