It appears we have consensus!
Not that anyone cares, what with all the Democratic moaning and the Republican leering, liberals across American once again licking their wounds in a sort of dumbfounded, how-could-this-happen disbelief, as Republicans grab gobs of dumb power on waves of nothing but contempt, hostility and a derisive lack of a single fresh idea.

HE states...”The general truism remains: The smarter, more compassionate and more attuned you get, the more liberal you become..... The more fearful, suspicious and egocentric you get, the more conservative you become.....So then, consensus: Extremism and odium won; intelligence and compromise lost.”
Stunning arrogance!

Man, if that quote doesn’t make yer Unicorn poop Skittles, nothing will!

This is from Wikipedia:
As a speechwriter for Barry Goldwater, Hess explored ideology and politics and attracted some public interest. He was widely considered to be the author of the infamous Goldwater line, "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice; moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue," but revealed that he had encountered it in a letter from Lincoln historian Harry Jaffa and later learned it was a paraphrase of a passage from Cicero.
