Traitor

Birthed by altruism or selfishness,

Motivated by personal gain

Or the forfeiting of a nation;

It's the betrayal of friends,

Country, cause and trust.

Cassius,

Judas,

Benedict Arnold,

The traitor has many personas.

 

Traitors are hated by those they prefer. (Tacitus)

 

*I forgive those who ****** and steal,

but a traitor, never.* (Zapata)

 

*A nation cannot survive treason from within...

He rots the soul of a nation...

No wise man ever thought a traitor should be trusted.* (Cicero)

 

Softness to traitors will destroy us all. (Robespierre)

 

An open enemy, however criminal, is no traitor. (Spooner)

 

To have a traitor as an ally is to have an enemy in waiting. (Carey)

 

*It is the just decree of heaven that a traitor never sees

his danger till his ruin is at hand.* (Metastasia)

 

There are but two parties now... traitors and patriots. (U.S. Grant)

 

*If I had one bullet and I was faced by both enemy and traitor,

I would let the traitor have it.* (Codreanue)

 

There is a special place in hell reserved for traitors. (J. Trudeau)

 

*Every man must be for the U.S. or against it.

There can be no neutrals... only patriots or traitors.* (S. Douglas)

 

Et tu, POTUS. (F. Lynch)
