“Politics is the art of getting votes from the poor and
campaign funds from the rich by promising to protect each from the other” Oscar
Ameringer (1870-1943) American Socialist.
“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 (1880 –
1956).
“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every
rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and
are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not
spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of
its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in
any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of
iron.” Dwight D. Eisenhower
