More quotes by Ilana Mercer
A propagandized population has a hard time choosing worthy heroes. It is high time Americans celebrate the Anti-Federalists, for they were correct in predicting the fate of freedom after Philadelphia.
Ilana Mercer
Islamic terrorism is the handiwork of people who've heeded, not hijacked, Islam. Or so says [Wafa] Sultan.
Ilana Mercer
A silly society is a youth-obsessed society: To the Chinese, who appreciate the value of experience, the greater the ratio in a team of grey 'hairs and no-hairs' to 'black hairs' the faster and better a task will be completed. The opposite assumption obtains in the youth-obsessed U.S.
Ilana Mercer
Think of mass immigration into America as a global 'right of return.'
Ilana Mercer
The great Roman statesman Cicero observed that, 'Not to know what happened before one was born is to be always a child.' In our ignorance of the values that form part of our history and heritage, we Americans have become perpetual children.

From dwarf tossing to drug taking: The legislator has no place in voluntary exchanges between consenting adults, as dodgy and as dangerous as these might be.
Ilana Mercer
Gays have become colossal bores. Once interesting and iconoclastic, all they seem to crave nowadays is the State's pension and seal of approval. They ought to go back to the days of the Stonewall Riots, when the police's violations of privacy and private property were the object of their anger and activism.
Ilana Mercer
In a free society, the “vision thing” is left to private individuals civil servants are kept on a tight leash, because free people understand that a “visionary” bureaucrat is a voracious one and that the grander the government [...] the poorer and less free the people.
Ilana Mercer
Still - and for all Obama's heavy hinting to the contrary - Islam has no human rights. The ideas of individual rights and the dignity of man are distinctly Western, an outgrowth of the Enlightenment. And while dialogue is dignified dhimmitude is not, even if it achieves a desired, if temporary, effect.
Ilana Mercer
The end result of positively reinforcing bad behavior is that you get more of it. The culmination of a failure to punish predators is a debased, dissolute, slum-dog society in which, by legal decree, the righteous suffer and the wicked prosper.
Ilana Mercer
Obamacare is a marketplace in the same way the Knockout Game is a game.
Ilana Mercer
Hollywood no longer offers entertainment. Instead, activism has replaced acting, and sermons have supplanted stories. Instead of a good yarn, you get a yawn.
Ilana Mercer
Antitrust laws ought to be deployed, not against business, but to bust this two-party monopoly, which subverts competition in government and rewards the colluding quislings with sinecures in perpetuity.
Ilana Mercer
Demonstrators for a government takeover of medicine have a right to discuss their demands, but no right to enact these demands.
Ilana Mercer
The strength of ideas rests on their relationship to reality. MacKinnon’s unrealistic fulminations against a phantom patriarchy exist in the arid arena of pure thought.
Ilana Mercer
But public works, economic protectionism, cheap money, deficit-financed government spending, and the animal spirits of the spendthrift in the service of boosting consumption demand... Doesn't Keynesianism simply appeal to the worst in human nature?
Ilana Mercer
The much-maligned price system works not only to secure supply but to conserve. [...] Profits and prices are the street signs of the economy. Only fools flout them.
Ilana Mercer
Progressive policies lead to a regressive society.
Ilana Mercer
Chinese mercantilism is not free trade, but it is far better than American militarism.
Ilana Mercer
The rights to life, liberty and property were not meant to be subject to the vagaries of majority rule.
