Neil Gorsuch -
History shows that governments sometimes seek to regulate our lives
finely, acutely, thoroughly, and exhaustively. In our own time and
place, criminal laws have grown so exuberantly and come to cover so much
previously innocent conduct that almost anyone can be arrested for
something. If the state could use these laws not for their intended
purposes but to silence those who voice unpopular ideas, little would be
left of our First Amendment liberties, and little would separate us
from the tyrannies of the past or the malignant fiefdoms of our own age.
The freedom to speak with-out risking arrest is "one of the principal
characteristics by which we distinguish a free nation."

Paul Johnson -
The urge to distribute wealth equally, and still
more the belief that it can be brought about by political action, is the
most dangerous of all popular emotions. It is the legitimation of envy,
of all the deadly sins the one which a stable society based on
consensus should fear the most. The monster state is a source of many
evils; but it is, above all, an engine of envy.

Marxism is intellectualism for stupid people; it tends to attract the
sort who can’t understand that an economic system that cannot feed its
own population reliably has failed at the game of Life. Literally.
