H.L Mencken

I'm back and refreshed after an incredible weekend camping in nature, and I am ready to chew gum and rustle jimmies. And I'm all out of gum, or as we call it down here, 'chewy.' Here Mencken takes a shot at 'progressives' who for him must have been an endless source of amusement. It's kinda like shooting fish in a barrel to take the piss out of lefties but with more laughter and no barrel or fish.   

“A Progressive is one who is in favor of more taxes instead of less, more bureaus and jobholders, more paternalism and meddling, more regulation of private affairs and less liberty. In general, he would be inclined to regard the repeal of any tax as outrageous.”

I Fucking Love H.L Mencken
