Cicero--the traitor moves amongst and He rots the soul of a nation
"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."

Cicero Marcus Tullius
106-43 BC

3. And we have an ambitious fool for
a Traitor!

Cicero reminds me of the stunningly good mini-series I just saw on abc, "Empire"

"Beginning June 28 and continuing for four consecutive Tuesdays, ABC's "Empire," at about half the cost of Spielberg's series, focuses on Julius Caesar's nephew Octavius, the fictional gladiator Tyrannus who is sworn to protect him and the nasty battle for power after Caesar's murder"

I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration , Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion, and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids

5. He was subverting the empire, what a commie.
I think he should watch himself or he might end up dead.
