Inspired by Loathing

Columnist Ron Fournier, writing in National Journal about our near-universal distain for politicians:

Most Amer­ic­ans don’t par­ti­cip­ate in polit­ics or gov­ern­ment, and most of those who do hate the sys­tem. Even people who reg­u­larly vote for can­did­ates of a par­tic­u­lar stripe are in­spired by their loath­ing of the “oth­er party” rather than re­spect for their own.

Truer words have seldom been written.
