We have been living amidst one of the great revolutions of human history, and we hardly know it: the penetration of the State into every aspect of human life and society. Some people regard this as good and "progressive," others regard it as tyrannical; but either way, it's a fact, a transformation as great as, say, the Industrial Revolution. Absolutely nothing is now beyond the scope of State power.

Liberals see the Constitution itself as 'living' and 'evolving' that is, gradually turning into something that would have been unrecognizable to its authors.

If Communism was liberalism in a hurry, liberalism is Communism in slow motion.

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.

Even if we are all doomed to live under the state, it doesn't follow that there is, or even can be, such a thing as a good state.

Nothing annoys a 'progressive' like refugees from Communism, who give the lie to the Great Socialist Dream.

The most fundamental purpose of government is defense, not empire.
