Quotations

• The party of Lincoln and Liberty was transmogrified into the party of hairy-backed swamp developers and corporate shills, faith-based economists, fundamentalist bullies with Bibles, Christians of convenience, freelance racists, misanthropic frat boys, shrieking midgets of AM radio, tax cheats, nihilists in golf pants, brownshirts in pinstripes, sweatshop tycoons, hacks, fakirs, aggressive dorks, Lamborghini libertarians, people who believe Neil Armstrong's moonwalk was filmed in Roswell, New Mexico, little honkers out to diminish the rest of us, Newt's evil spawn and their Etch-A-Sketch president, a dull and rigid man suspicious of the free flow of information and of secular institutions, whose philosophy is a jumble of badly sutured body parts trying to walk. - "We're Not in Lake Wobegon Anymore", In These Times, August 26 2004 http://www.inthesetimes.com/site/main/article/979/
• To the cheater, there is no such thing as honesty, and to Republicans the idea of serving the public good is counterfeit on the face of it ? they never felt such an urge, and therefore it must not exist. - Homegrown Democrat, p. 78
