"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

"When supposed political adversaries share common vocabularies and conceptual frameworks, you know something’s up. The implication is that 'both sides' in our mainstream political narrative, far from being either mutually exclusive or mutually exhaustive, span the ideological spectrum from L-O and share probably 80% of their assumptions in common. That’s because the 'two sides' in the American political system are really two wings of the same establishment — the 'right' and 'left' boundaries of what’s acceptable to our corporate-state ruling elite. Maybe it’s time to look at the man behind the curtain."
