In 2004, Dennis Prager said in a lecture: “I’ve said for 30 years there are two parties in America — the dangerous and the stupid. I’m a member of the stupid party.”
Dennis uses this saying almost every week on the radio but he never cites the source for this quote — the late paleo-conservative Samuel Francis.
“IN AMERICA, WE have a two-party system,” a Republican congressional staffer [Samuel Francis, aide to Senator John East circa 1981-1986] is supposed to have told a visiting group of Russian legislators some years ago. “There is the stupid party. And there is the evil party. I am proud to be a member of the stupid party.” He added: “Periodically, the two parties get together and do something that is both stupid and evil. This is called – “bipartisanship.”
