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 against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victim, 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. The traitor is the plague. The traitor is Obama and his administration.

Marcus Tullius Cicero, murdered as an "enemy of the state" for speaking out against tyranny

I wanted to make sure this part of your quote was properly attributed to its author. ;-)

Sadly, the fact is that the sheeple just won’t care, because the Mainstream Media will refuse to tell them.

The traitor is Obama and his administration.

That’s what we’re encouraged to think. The corruption involves both parties in nearly equal measure. The elites in both parties both use government to take from America.
