Krugman said

'Mr. Obama’s backers seem to lack all conviction, perhaps because the prosaic reality of his administration isn’t living up to their dreams of transformation. Meanwhile, the angry right is filled with a passionate intensity.'

and William Butler Yeats said, in his great poem The Second Coming, 'The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.'
