The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies,
one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left,
is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers.
Instead, the two parties should be almost identical,
so that the American people can ‘throw the rascals out’ at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy.

I am now quite sure that 'Tragedy and Hope' was suppressed although
I do not know why or by whom. ~ C.Quigley ~
