Forums of the Libertarian Left

"Democracy is also a form of worship. It is the worship of jackals by jackasses." - H.L. Mencken.

"Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under." – H.L. Mencken.

"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.

"Government is actually the worst failure of civilized man. There has never been a really good one, and even those that are most tolerable are arbitrary, cruel, grasping, and unintelligent." – H. L. Mencken.

"The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, and intolerable." – H. L. Mencken.
