More quotes by Cal Thomas
No power on earth is greater than a mind and soul reawakened. Our Constitution begins we the people, not us the government.
Cal Thomas
Victimhood and a “can't do” spirit is what the Democratic Party has mostly been about since the Great Depression.
Cal Thomas
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.
Cal Thomas
The kingdom of God is not going to arrive on Air Force One.
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.
Cal Thomas
If a state, or nation, has laws it will not enforce for political reasons, it mocks both the law and politics, to say nothing of the cultural order.
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
Freedom is a lonely battle, but if the United States doesn't lead it - sometimes imperfectly, but mostly with honor - who will?
Cal Thomas
When President Clinton starts talking about what is moral, as he did when recommending a national law banning human cloning, it's time for us to lock up our daughters.
Cal Thomas
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.
Cal Thomas
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.
Cal Thomas
We are approaching a time when Christians, especially, may have to declare the social contract between Enlightenment rationalists and Biblical believers - which formed the basis of the constitution written at our nation's founding - null and void.
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
Our politics suffers from a shortage of people who put character and country before career and personal gain.
Cal Thomas
The measure of a great writer is not how many weeks his books spend on the best-seller lists, but how many years his books remain in print after his death.
Cal Thomas
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
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
One of the reasons people hate politics is that truth is rarely a politician's objective. Election and power are.
Cal Thomas
Politicians have limited power. They can't impose morality on themselves. How can they impose it on the country?
Cal Thomas
To suggest that a person's strongly held religious view is less tolerant than a strongly held antireligious view is morally, intellectually, and politically inconsistent and incorrect.
