More quotes by Cal Thomas
The brutality of communism was quickly swept under history's rug, in large part because so many on the left had embraced it as the solution to humankind's problems.

The Obama 'stimulus' plan is a $1 trillion dollar gamble more suited to Las Vegas than Washington.

The difference between the more traditional sports clubs and Congress is that Congress doesn't really compete against another team.

No nation can survive without passing its heritage, language and, yes, faith to the next generation. A country must be built on something substantial and if the cultural elitists think it can be built on 'diversity,' that is a foundation of shifting sand.

I sense a general hostility toward Christianity among the literary and media establishments in our country. There is a tendency to keep Christian thinking out of the mainstream, to marginalize it and make it look like a product of 'fringe' groups.

Democrats' desperate attempt to focus on campaign finance reform instead of laws that may have been broken by the Clinton-Gore campaign is like Mike Tyson demanding a reform in boxing regulations after biting off a piece of Evander Holyfield's ear.
Cal Thomas
In violent streets and broken homes, the cry of anguished souls is not for more laws but for more conscience and character.
Cal Thomas
Government has a legitimate function, but the private sector has one too, and it is superior. In other words, people are better than institutions.
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
So, my fellow Christians, protest this film if you like, but then how about devoting some energy to fill the vacuum created by your retreat from popular culture.

Another question a biblically literate reporter might have asked is, Why are you proclaiming the Ten Commandments when you believe no one can live up to all of them?

Once a federal law or policy is in place it is more difficult to kill than a vampire.

Radical Islamists are serious about killing in pursuit of their extreme objectives. Releasing their soldiers can only embolden them to take more Americans hostage. The deal for Sgt. Bergdahl may well turn out to have been a bargain with the devil.
Cal Thomas
People, like water, will run downhill, seeking their lowest level unless something interdicts them.
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
Victimhood and a “can't do” spirit is what the Democratic Party has mostly been about since the Great Depression.

Sometimes people need a kick in the pants to get them to do what they would be doing if government weren't there as a perpetual parent.
