Insert every H.L. Mencken quote here. Here's ten to get you started. -Anymouse
1. 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.
2. Government is a broker in pillage, and every election is a sort of advance auction in stolen goods.
3. Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.
4. Democracy, too, is a religion. It is the worship of jackals by jackasses.
5. Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey cage.
6. Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.
7. Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under.
8. If a politician found he had cannibals among his constituents, he would promise them missionaries for dinner.
9. As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.
10. All government, of course, is against liberty.

Here's more from H.L.M. - "As democracy is perfected, the office of President represents more and more closely the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a down-right moron."
" A good politician is quite as unthinkable as an honest burglar."
" The most dangerous man to any government is the man who's able to think things out for himself without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Inevitably, he comes to the conclusion that the govt. he lives under is dishonest, insane, and intolerable." - 2/12/16, 3:07 PM

Some quotes from the other side.
The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything. —Joseph Stalin
We stand today at a crossroads: One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other leads to total extinction. Let us hope we have the wisdom to make the right choice. —Woody Allen
The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class are to represent and repress them. —Karl Marx
A bit grim, sorry.
