“I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. I'm not a member of any organized political party, I'm a Democrat!

“When one admits that nothing is certain one must, I think, also admit that some things are much more nearly certain than others. It is much more nearly certain that we are assembled here tonight than it is that this or that political party is in the right.

“They, the conservatives, are the real outsides, they tell us, gazing with disgust upon the ludicrous manners of the high and mighty. Or, they tell us, they are rough-and-ready proles, laughing along with us at the efforts of our social "betters" to reform and improve us. That they are often, in fact, people of privilege doing their utmost to boost the fortunes of a political party that is the traditional tool of the privileged is a contradiction that does not trouble them.” PeopleDoeRealFactsPoliticalSocialPartyEffortLaughingTroubleReadyToolsFortunePrivilegeTraditionalReformMannersContradictionRoughDisgustingPrivilegedPolitical PartiesBoostGazing Author:Thomas Frank
