H.L. Mencken died 50 years

[quote] The United States has never developed an . . . intelligentsia really intelligent. Its history is simply a record of vacillations between two gangs of frauds. Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule--and both commonly succeed, and are right. [/quote]
