"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

Submitted by Emmett Harris on Tue, 2014-05-27 00:00

Statists never tire of reintroducing bills that have failed repeatedly. Who can blame them? Eventually, it seems, they end up winning.
