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
I would add:
The whole aim of the liberal mainstream media 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.
I also like this one lol:
Love is the delusion that one woman differs from another.
H. L. Mencken
he's got a million of them:

“Too often the desire to save mankind is really the desire to rule it’’.
Another good Mencken quote which might be applicable here is, “Never argue with a man whose job depends on not being convinced.”
Some attribute it to Mencken, and some as a paraphrase of Upton Sinclair. Whomever... it’s good. As long as the MSM fools spin lib talking points and prop up Obama, their positions are pretty secure.
