"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
The Failure of Fusionism
"The new libertarian movement rather quickly, however, fell back into the orbit of conservatism, especially once Cato relocated from California to Washington, D.C. The more that Cato focused on policy, rather than philosophy and radical libertarian theory (as it had in its early days, when Murray Rothbard was its head of research), the greater the mutual attraction between Cato and the conservative mainstream became." It's hard to stay true to your ideals when you're trying to be a player in the power-whore culture of Washington, D.C.
