Liberalism is really piecemeal socialism, and socialism always attacks three basic social institutions: religion, the family, and private property. Religion, because it offers a rival authority to the state; the family, because it means a rival loyalty to the state; and property, because it means material independence of the state.

Wartime always brings expansions of state power, together with erosions of moral and constitutional standards.

Politics is the conspiracy of the unproductive but organized against the productive but unorganized.

When liberals clamor for 'diversity,' they don't necessarily mean they are ready to tolerate actual disagreement.

Not surprisingly, the federal judiciary nearly always rules in favor of the federal government. Judicial review, contrary to the assurances of its advocates, has hardly restrained Congress at all. Instead it has progressively stripped the states of their traditional powers, while allowing federal power to grow unchecked.

Controlling the interpretation of the Constitution is vital to the leftist agenda of expanding the federal government's power. That means keeping the federal judiciary as liberal as possible and treating the U.S. Supreme Court's liberal legacy as sacrosanct.

The attempt to silence a man is the greatest honor you can bestow on him. It means that you recognize his superiority to yourself.
