State of the Union, 2004 by Gore Vidal
I say very mildly, we have only one political party in the United States, the Property Party, with two right wings, Republican and Democrat.

Now in the year 2004, when we have ceased to be a nation under law but instead a homeland where the withered Bill of Rights, like a dead trumpet vine, clings to our pseudo-Roman columns, Homeland Security appears to be uniting our secret police into a single sort of Gestapo with dossiers on everyone to prevent us, somehow or other, from being terrorized by various implacable Second and Third World enemies.
