“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.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero
Why - in reply to this and other post views the main thing wrong with Abbott is that he's far too bleedin' NICE! Someone asks what's wrong. Nothing - he has the guts to try cleaning up Labor/Greens (and now Shorten's and dopey got into power on a handful of nutty votes so-called "Senators" monumental messes. Typical of them - foul-mouthed Lambie's egotisitcal queening and colossal ego is vomit material, alone. Little pipsqueak nothing she is, I and millions allege. Holding all of us to ransom - with her vile tongued ramblings.
Abbott's honest enough to change his mind. To admit there have to be different paths he has to take. Not pretending he's perfect. His job, thanks to Labor's handing over to him of their ever worsening total stuff-ups - he's attmepting a job of "climbing Mt. Everest" proportions.
Trying to hold the wheel of a bucking ship in a gigantic storm. Where does the money COME from. And how do we PAy off the interest? Or perhaps, more like it - where did the moeny all go, Labor/Greens? That's the Abbott dilemma. And he's getting scorned - and kicked? Perhaps he should have given this Knighthood everyone's so hysterical about to HIMSELF, instead!
This "come on Comrades and Leftist pals - let's do our darndest to deliberately defame Abbott at each and every opportunity" viciously organised push whioch we're all watching now - disgusting - proves to me there are forces at work here we can all only guess at - well distributed, viciously hidden - the ABC the orchestra leader - almost all TV channel and radio newsrooms stacked with dedicated Leftists, the musicians - supposed "principled" journalists - blatantly and deliberately editorialising all newscast to suit their own personal Leftist preferences - the Leftist cause - (this trend now absolutely rife, and in itself journalistically DISGRACEFUL!) - plus the huge secret army of "GET UP" - Unions - foul-mouthed Lambie and her sneery shallow views - numbskull ilk cronies - the Greens Goody Two shoes drips - and finally Shorten - we're told he's "popular" for Gods' sake - well THIS still strong voice, coming down to us through the ages, as above, of Cicero's, is exactly why!
The world so cynical now - being "nice' doesn't cut it much, any more.
Traitors are alive and well - working amongst us. Cicero says it so well. This is Australia today.
And dedicated traitors will stop at nothing - as we are seeing now.
(Cicero also said - "Politicians aren't born - they're excreted". In many cases, how absolutely spot on and tragically true!)
