“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 Military officer: You're under arrest! Lincoln: What?? I'm King Lincoln! Officer: Not any more. You're not even President. Lincoln: What's the charge? Officer: Treason. Lincoln: What? Officer: The military is to defend against all enemies foreign and domestic. You're a domestic enemy. Lincoln: What are you going to do, hang me? Officer: And turn you into a martyr? I don't think so. You can spend ten years in prison thinking about your crimes. When you truly repent and give a public announcement, then you'll be released. Lincoln: This is outrageous! Officer: No, it's patriotism. Military officer: You're under arrest! Military officer: You're under arrest! Military officer: You're under arrest! Military officer: You're under arrest! Military officer: You're under arrest! Military officer: You're under arrest! Military officer: You're under arrest! Military officer: You're under arrest!
Lincoln: Ha ha! I finally got the South to attack Fort Sumter and kill a mule. Now I'll start a four-year war, kill over 620,000 Americans (equal to over five million in 150 years) claim it's to keep the Union together or free the slaves, but it will really be about money. It'll be about the New England Yankees economically exploiting and crushing the South! I am so smart, being a lawyer and all -- the kind of politicians that will probably destroy American someday. Not that I'll be around.
Woodrow Wilson: I'm going to get involved in a European war the Founding Fathers warned us to stay out of so I can impose the lunatic leftist dream of democracy on them!
FDR; I'm going to attack the Japanese for ten years so they'll attack us and I can start WWII and gave Christian Eastern Europe to the atheist Commies for 50 years!
Truman: I'm going to get involved in a land war in Asia and lose tens of thousands of Americans even though it's not in our national interest in the slightest!
Kennedy: The fools think my administration is Camelot! Stupid sheeple! I'm going to get involved in another land war in Asia!
LBJ: I'm going to escalate the land war in Asia and start the socialist Great Society!
Bush I: I'm going to start a meaningless war!
Bush II: I'm going to start two meaningless wars and enrich the international bankers and international corporations at the expense of everyone else! And it's because God chose me!
Obama: I'm going to...
