Enemies at the gate and within the walls!

 ”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.” - Cicero, Roman statesman and lawyer

This quote applies to our current war with radical Islamic Jihadists and the increasing push toward socialism within the USA.  We have two enemies – radical Islamists at the gate and radical socialists inside the walls!  An enemy at the gate being less formidable is not as true now given that the Jihadist enemy we face does not carry its banner openly, relying on deceit, subterfuge, and surprise attacks against civilian targets.  In a similar manner the socialist agenda being pressed forward by our current  government and others in power,  aided by main stream media and liberal elitists, also uses the tactics of deceit, subterfuge, and surprise attacks  to undermine traditional American values in order to advance the socialist cause.

The Jihadist enemy is also working to infiltrate our society and weaken our defense from within. They are employing the long-term strategy of demographic change and using the same tactics as the socialist enemy to weaken our self-defense. The common tactics both enemies use against us are protected by the same attributes that make our country strong – liberty, freedom of speech and right to privacy.   Claiming to be offended by dissenters, pushing to control   ”hate” speech through the courts and potentially the fairness doctrine silences the opposition. Concealing efforts to plot and act against America’s best interests, even survival, occurs under the radar even with such a valuable tool as the Patriot Act.

But even worse is the fact that the socialists within the country are attempting to make America a socialist state at any cost, regardless of the danger we all face from the common Jihadist enemy. These socialist ideologues actually think the Jihadists are not a threat, or that the Jihadists are only a threat because America is at fault and the threat can be resolved by achieving a socialist state and declaring peace with any enemies. How naïve is this belief?
