Hofstadter Quote of the Day

...[P]seudo-conservatism is, among other things, a disorder in relation to authority, characterized by an inability to find other modes for human relationship than those of more or less complete domination or submission. The pseudo-conservative always imagines himself to be dominated and imposed upon because he feels that he is not dominant, and knows of no other way of interpreting his position.
--Richard Hofstadter, The Pseudo-Conservative Revolt - 1954
[That's all, folks]
