The Democratic Party may have plenty of loonies in it, but they don't embrace ignorance like the GOP does. These people are just plain pitiful, and notice you don't see a minority among them. The Real America is apparently only the White America. I'm white, and I get so sick of white people sometimes. If I am around too many I feel like they are going to sell me insurance or something, and I get really nervous.
This is why the Republican party has disintegrated, because the rank and file members are anti-intellectuals, and your true fiscal conservatives who don't fall into the evangelical or southern block no longer see eye to eye with these people. The rank and file don't fully trust McCain but love someone like Palin, and your true fiscal conservatives like McCain but can't stand Palin.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
