Independence Lost Posted: 5 months ago by JoshSF49
Do we not value independence as they did? Or is it that we are simply not the men our fathers were?
Happy Independence Day.

"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 he carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves among 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 traitor, he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their garments, and 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 a city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared."
--Cicero, 42 B.C.

I would sadly have to say that we are simply not the men our fathers were.
