Gore Vidal
“With modern technology it is the easiest of tasks for a media, guided by a narrow group of political manipulators, to speak constantly of democracy and freedom while urging regime changes everywhere on earth but at home. A curious condition of a republic based roughly on
the original Roman model is that it cannot allow true political parties to share in government. What then is a true political party: one that is based firmly in the interest of a class be it workers or fox hunters. Officially we have two parties which are in fact wings of a common
party of property with two right wings. Corporate wealth finances each. Since the property party controls every aspect of media they have had decades to create a false reality for a citizenry largely uneducated by public schools that teach conformity with an occasional advanced degree in consumerism.”
Gore Vidal

Trey Parker
“We (libertarians) find just as many things to rip on the left as we do on the right. People on the far-left and the far-right are the same exact person to us.”
Trey Parker

“Ten men shouting will control ten thousand who choose to remain silent.”
Joseph J. Haeggquist

Oliver Gaspirtz
“Democracy's fatal flaw: There are more dumb people than smart people. Welcome to the new Dark Ages!”
Oliver Gaspirtz

Noam Chomsky
“Small differences in a system of great power can have enormous consequences. [Source: Al Jazeera 'Upfront' interview]”
Noam Chomsky

Victor Hugo
“Let us show that, if the people abandon the republicans, the republicans do not abandon the people.”
Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

Garrison Keillor
“The Union is what needs defending this year. Government of Enron and by Halliburton and for the Southern Baptists is not the same as what Lincoln spoke of. This gang of Republicans has humbugged us to death on terrorism and tax cuts for the comfy and school prayer and flag burning and claimed the right to know what books we read and to dump their sewage upstream from the rest of us and clear-cut the forests and gut the IRS and promote the corporate takeover of the public airwaves and to hell with anybody who opposes them.”
Garrison Keillor, Homegrown Democrat: A Few Plain Thoughts from the Heart of America

Noam Chomsky
“Our philosophy is to rob everything as much as possible and forget about tomorrow...But it makes a certain sense if the sole human value is making as much wealth as you can tomorrow. You don't care what happens down the road and you don't care what happens to anybody else. It makes perfect sense. If it destroys the world, well, it's not my problem.”
Noam Chomsky, Class Warfare: Interviews with David Barsamian

Steven Magee
“President Trump is doing a great job of demonstrating how mean the rich can be to the poor, sick and elderly.”
Steven Magee

“As a Republic governed through the utilization of a democratic process, elections are necessary in order to give every United States citizen a voice in the governing of this great nation.”
Byron Goines, The 2014 Midterm Elections

Garrison Keillor
“Republicans are all about Old Glory and school prayer and the sanctity of marriage and the Fatherhood of God but when it comes to actually needing help from them, you shouldn't get your hopes up. They might send an ambulance or they might just send a Get Well card.”
Garrison Keillor

James Crumley
“It wasn’t a party that a Republican could understand--the marijuana smoke sweet on the air, the occasional cocaine sniffle, cold Mexican beer, good food, great conversation, and laughter--but a Parisian deconstructionist scholar might find it about as civilized as America gets. Or at least the one I met, who was visiting at UTEP, maintained. Somewhere along the way, he claimed, Americans had forgotten how to have a good time. In the name of good health, good taste, and political correctness from both sides of the spectrum, we were being taught how to behave. America was becoming a theme park, not as in entertainment, but as in a fascist Disneyland.”
James Crumley, The Mexican Tree Duck

Steven Magee
“Voting for the Green Party is how you say 'Up Yours!' to the Republicans and Democrats.”
Steven Magee

Avi Silverman
“It is only by ignoring fact, science, and reason that one can support current Republican positions.”
Avi Silverman, Phalluses of Logic: How to Know When Republicans Lie

Steven Magee
“President Trump is doing a great job of demonstrating that politicians routinely lie to their electorate.”
Steven Magee

Bill Holm
“I inherited from my father and still nourish the notion that Republicans are those who have acquired enough money, often by inheritance and blind luck, to entertain the opinion that their fellow citizens should work harder and be more grateful to the moneyed class while they refrain from work themselves and sit in clean rooms with folded soft hands examining their bank statements and brokerage reports.”
Bill Holm, The Heart Can Be Filled Anywhere on Earth

Noam Chomsky
“The Republican Party today has a catechism. If you want to be a candidate, with very rare exceptions, you have to repeat the catechism in lockstep uniformity: global warming isn't happening, no taxes on the rich. There are about ten things that you have to repeat, whether you believe them or not. Anybody who departs from them is in trouble.”
Noam Chomsky, Power Systems: Conversations on Global Democratic Uprisings and the New Challenges to U.S. Empire

Bill Maher
“Over the last 30 odd years, Democrats have moved to the right and the right has moved into the mental hospital. So what we have is one perfectly good party for hedge fund managers, credit card companies, banks, defense contractors, big agriculture and the pharmaceutical lobby... That's the Democrats. And they sit across the aisle from a small group of religious lunatics, flat-earthers and civil war re-enactors who mostly communicate by AM radio and call themselves the Republicans and who actually worry that Obama is a socialist. Socialist? He's not even a liberal.”
Bill Maher

“For Republicans, life begins at conception but ends at birth.”
J.Adam Snyder

Phillip Andrew Bennett Low
“So, I’m a playwright. In Minneapolis. Which means that I find myself operating in a pretty lefty crowd, most of the time. And most of my energy goes towards arguing with that, and musing about how I really fucking can’t stand Democrats. So I was startled to be reminded of a fact that I’d almost entirely forgotten: I really fucking can’t stand Republicans.”
Phillip Andrew Bennett Low, Indecision Now! A Libertarian Rage

Michael Moore
“...I have a theory about why and how all this has happened to you.
Instead of having to earn it, you have been handed the presidency, the same way you've come by everything else in your life. Money and name alone have opened every door for you. Without effort or hard work or intelligence, or ingenuity, you have been bequeathed a life of privilege...So it's no wonder you think you deserved to be named President. You didn't earn it or win it- therefore it must be yours!”
Michael Moore

A.E. Samaan
“The opposite of Nazi is neither Republican nor Democrat, conservative or liberal. Totalitarianism's diametric opposite of is Libertarianism.”
A.E. Samaan

Rod Dreher
“Sex and commerce are fine things, but man cannot live by Viagra and the Dow Jones alone. A life led collecting things and experiences in pursuit of happiness is not necessarily a bad life, but it’s not a good life either. Too often, the Democrats act like the Party of Lust, and the Republicans the Party of Greed. Both are deadly sins that eat at the soul.”
Rod Dreher

Steven Magee
“The Democrats would like you to believe that the USA is the 'Greatest nation on Earth'. Is this true? The Republicans answer this question by stating there is a need to 'Make America Great Again”
Steven Magee
