More quotes by Cal Thomas

America's most dangerous diseases have developed an immunity to politics. We suffer not from a failure of political organization or power, but a failure of love.
Cal Thomas
Islam is a religion in which God requires you to send your son to die for him. Christianity is a faith in which God sends His son to die for you.
Cal Thomas
Politicians have limited power. They can't impose morality on themselves. How can they impose it on the country?
Cal Thomas
I think the philosophy in our public schools, and many other institutions today, is that a dose of God is more hazardous to your health than a dose of herpes or drugs.
Cal Thomas
If we want to produce people who share the values of a democratic culture, they must be taught those values and not be left to acquire them by chance.
Cal Thomas
Victimhood and a “can't do” spirit is what the Democratic Party has mostly been about since the Great Depression.
Cal Thomas
Government aid impedes success and creates dependence, while entrepreneurs create success and independence.
Cal Thomas
The difference between the more traditional sports clubs and Congress is that Congress doesn't really compete against another team.
