Hobgoblins and the Bush administration

I have changed the quote in the header. Although it was written in 1921 it seems it was intended for the Bush administration.

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the
populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety)
by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins,
all of them imaginary."
~H. L. Mencken, "Women as Outlaws"
