"I sincerely believe that Hayek should have added free speech to his list of the big three, along with contracts, property rights, and so on. ... I just find it so ironic that the Republican Party of Ronald Reagan and Newt Gingrich is essentially a captive of a very statist view of moral controls, which is antithetical to the freedoms I believe in." |
