“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within.” – Marcus Tullius Cicero
Benedict Arnold. Jane Fonda. Throughout American history, we can only recall a few infamous souls who openly sided with the enemy.
That was until recently. Since the San Bernardino Islamic terrorist attack, attempting to survive treason from within is now a fact of daily life.
For many American citizens, the murder of nearly 3,000 of our own on 9/11 by Muslim fanatics was a wake-up call. The naïve way many of us had viewed the world melted under shattering reality in the space of one chilling morning.

The deniers are cowards – and traitors.
