"The Enemy Within

My friends, the first step on our road to revival is to recognize and defeat the enemy which immediately confronts us.

It is indeed true that America has never before faced such an insidious enemy. An enemy that, as many classic tales of good and evil forewarn, came not from without but from within. An enemy that, like many tyrannies before, simultaneously wields the weapons of both force and intellectual perversion.

For I ask you, who would say that freedom is not free, with the price being freedom itself? Who would submit accusation in permanence of guilt? Who would mute the cry of innocence by cruel withdrawal of voice? And who would declare the rule of law omnipotent executive will?

I will tell you my friends. They are the same who perceive the foundations of tyranny within the Constitution, and declare the basic precepts of free society our greatest weakness.

They are the same who openly proclaim the virtues of torture, secret prisons, extra judicial abduction, universal surveillance, and dictatorial government.

Yes my friends, they are the same who have declared in both word and action that we must destroy America in order to save it.

My fellow citizens, twice we have fallen. Towers by enemies without, and freedom by enemies within.

It is a disheartening truth that terrorists didn’t steal our dignity, liberty, and freedom, Republicans did.

Few knew that when the Republican Party declared a war on culture many decades ago, they meant a war on the culture of American liberty itself.

For it is not by accident that we find ourselves left today with only one heinously corrupt branch of government; an executive branch which openly and proudly violates every principal, and fulfills every fear, of our revered founding fathers. And it is not by chance that the Republican Party facetiously exclaims that it has simply always been this way, and we just never noticed.

And of course, our new dictatorship has nothing to do with 'terrorism'.

For 225 years America had fought many external enemies, far more powerful than those we fight today, without abandoning our Constitutional form of government.

In fact, wielding the moral right and might embodied within our Constitution had always naturally defeated any enemy espousing philosophies of tyranny and oppression.

No. Our current dictatorship is the culmination of many decades of insidious planning which has left the highest levels of our government infested with judicial, legislative, and executive officials who believe not in freedom and justice, but instead, tyranny and oppression. Some even boldly blazing paper trails espousing their unconstitutional beliefs and future hopes for circumventing our beloved Constitution.

My friends, this administrations illegal and covert activities began the moment power was assumed, and one thing is very clear. Instead of working to make America safer after an attack on our nation, as all other American Presidents throughout history have done, George Bush and his accomplices simply used the event as a convenient excuse to accelerate their own attack on American liberty and freedom.

In fact, the terrorists must be ecstatic. To them it looks like they simply attacked once and the American Constitution self destructed.

And they probably haven’t attacked again because they see no need to; the Republicans appear to have finished their work.

Of course, by now some may be wondering about the Democratic Party. Why haven’t I mentioned them?

Well, it’s simply because they made themselves irrelevant by never, ever, even once in the last six years, standing as a party to protect our Constitutional form of government.

On the contrary, they went along with every treasonous step, every single step of the way.

They have committed that most pathetic of crimes, apathetic accomplice.

There is simply nothing else to say about them."
