James Allen Moseley
Washington reflected bitterly. He was short of money, gunpowder, shot, and food. All he had going for him was The Cause, the Rights of Man. Very noble and all that. But just add a whiff of money, gunpowder, shot, and food, and the old Cause might really click. Congress had pledged more help, of course, which, knowing Congress, meant that the aid might come in a decade or so, after the war was lost. He sighed and gazed heavenward. Was a tiny miracle too much to ask?
James Allen Moseley, The Duke of D.C.: The American Dream

One of the best reasons I have for knowing That Fascism is bogus is that it is too much like the kinds of Utopias artists plan over cafe tables very late at night.
