[t]he argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can "throw the rascals out" at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy. The policies that are vital and necessary for America are no longer subjects of significant disagreement, but are disputable only in details of procedure, priority, or method.
Indeed, more than fifty years after the publication of Quigley's Tragedy and Hope, the policy "disagreements" between "liberal" community schoolers and "conservative" charter schoolers are merely "disputing" the "details" of how to "prioritize" the "methods" and "procedures" for corporate-government contracts that authorize public-private partnerships to "pipeline" or "pathway" students into medically diagnosed job castes prescribed to fulfill the workforce development quotas of a technocratically planned economy.
