This essay "Why I Am Not a Conservative", By Nobel laureate F. A. Hayek, contains some of the most insightful commentary on modern politics that I've ever read. His point is that conservatism is not an ideology at all -- merely an aversion to change. Furthermore, conservatives often use the same methods that they condemn in their opponents. For that reason he cannot call himself by that name.
"The Law" by Frederic Bastiat. A short discourse about the proper function of law, and its common misuse.

"... for me it's humiliating to vote for Kerry, because I don't respect him; but I would -- I will -- it's unpleasant, it's like killing a big rat that is running around your apartment. It must be done. But you're not proud of it." actor and playwright Wally Shawn, 21 Oct, 2004 on Democracy Now
Political parties use abbreviations ... for example "GOP" which stands for Group of Old People, and "DEMO" which stands for Demolition. (Pat Paulson)
The difference between the parties is that the Republicans don't want to spend any money, and the Democrats want to spend other people's money. (Jim Zawor)
Both parties claim to be superior in their ideology--the Democrats in compassion; the Republicans in morality. (Russ Josephson)
We want a society where people are free to make choices, to make mistakes, to be generous and compassionate.This is what we mean by a moral society, not a society where the state is responsible for everything, and no one is responsible for the state. (British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher)
