"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." ~ H.L. Mencken
American Psycho: Sex, Lies and Politics Add Up to a Terrifying Election Season
"For all intents and purposes, we’re all victims of a perverse, perverted, psychotic mindset that views the citizenry as lesser beings: lacking in value, unworthy of respect, and completely undeserving of the legal rights and protections that should be afforded to all Americans. In the eyes of Bill, Hillary, Donald and the powers-that-be, we’re all little more than 'bimbos,' 'trailer trash,' 'nuts and sluts,' 'loony toons,' 'fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals.'”

Not only has the media, the women's movement and the religious right given up principle for power, but so has the anti-war movement.
Anyway, what is power for, if not access to women? Women have made themselves whores to the Government Pimp, rather than taking care of business themselves. No wonder their gains look illusory.

Whitehead almost seemed to cross over. But not quite:
"...Let’s not waste any more time on predator politics..."
As though there might, just might, be another style of politics other than predator. But for him (And Rutherford), this display of anger almost makes them appear to have turned the corner.
"...This is what happens when politics is allowed to trump principle: “we the people” lose..."
One closer step might have been the acknowledgement that "...politics is the trumping of principle...".
Maybe next year. Sam
