“Neither conservatives or liberals exist. They are ideas, uniquely instanced in each person that subscribes, and each one subscribes uniquely.

But I gotta tell you that some conservative zealot screaming at ‘liberals’ is like a single pinky yelling at all the thumbs in the world. There’s only one hand here, people, and when its members start attacking each other, it isn’t politics. It’s the social and intellectual equivalent of those diseases in which one’s immune system attacks their own nervous system.”
