I have just about given up on the Republicans. The only feasible opposition to the pinko stinko Liberal Progressives that have ruined this nation are a bunch of reactionaries (and mindless reactionaries at that) firmly in the clutches of Statists, Jesus-Christers and neo-Conservative war mongers.

Hey gang! I think we are fucked.

“The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can ‘throw the rascals out’ at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy” --Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope, 1966
