‘‘...The culture of the academy is one where groupthink is enforced and reinforced through vicious rhetoric.  ...Opponents can’t be merely wrong.  Instead they are racist, bigoted, homophobic, or — despite professed love of the disabled — ‘Aspergery.’  The arrogance is overwhelming, and the fake tough-guy posture of name-calling elitists is laughable to everyone but themselves.’’ - David French

‘‘The Progressive myth is that we ought to have a government of experts... to handle the nation’s problems in a calm, deliberative manner.  The reality is that we have a [government] of unscrupulous lawyers, amoral apparatchiks and political hacks whose only area of expertise is manipulating the electoral and governmental systems and getting rich by doing so.’’ - Michael Walsh

‘‘The Long March Through The Institutions doesn’t just require burning the banks and churches; the marchers have to go into the quiet little neighborhood pubs where a couple gents are enjoying a quiet pint and a chat, and glass them with their own beer mugs...  Nothing can be left beyond the reach of politics.

Totalitarian utopianism does not permit that any part of mankind be left alone without re-making.’’

‘‘The role of critic has become just one more sinecure passed around among our self-appointed mandarinate, who understand neither popular art nor the people who enjoy it, and whose critical efforts are devoted largely to reinforcing their mandarin status.

The role of ‘internet administrator’ is rapidly becoming another, with the added mandarin cachet of almost total anonymity outside the field and almost total power within it.’’

- Richard McEnroe[1], commenting at Ace

‘‘The Progressive Left, cannot allow anything to exist which does not parrot the party line.  Anything with even a whiff of free expression must be suppressed.  Visual arts, music, books, magazines, film, whatever.  All must be controlled; practitioners must be monitored; miscreants driven out or underground.  That’s why e-publishing is so frightening.  We’ve left the world the Samizdat and it scares the Left immensely.’’

‘‘The only reason to give someone credit for good intentions is if they’d have behaved differently if they’d known the outcome.  That’s untrue of politicians in general and leftists in specific.

Always assume that politicians intend the outcomes and blame them for said outcomes.  If they want to argue that a bad outcome is due to something other than intent, such as incompetence or error, they can specify which they’re guilty of in their apology.’’

‘‘When someone carries on about ‘‘sustainability’’ what they really mean is that you are buying things they don't like for too little money.  Not to worry though - they have a solution for that.’’

‘‘Sovereign Immunity is the cornerstone of Leviathan.  We have no hope against abusive government so long as that government gets to decide whether it will be held to account for its misdeeds.’’
