More quotes by John Podhoretz

John Podhoretz
Robots have a rich and storied history in movies.
John Podhoretz
The United States established itself as a trustworthy new nation in its first two decades after the Revolutionary War by paying its debts, even when many in the country believed it had no obligation to do so. Alexander Hamilton, the founder of this newspaper, insisted on it.

Here's a very good rule of thumb in politics: losing begets losing.
John Podhoretz
That distinctive presidential conduct is now gone forever, banished to the snows of yesteryear by Barack Obama.

John Podhoretz
I was wholeheartedly attracted to the conservative atmosphere that permeated the city of Washington.
John Podhoretz
Conservatives must avoid the siren song of schism, or all is lost.
John Podhoretz
Pop culture is a reflection of social change, not a cause of social change.
John Podhoretz
You'd think experienced political professionals would know better than to place their trust in exit polls, notoriously inaccurate surveys that had John Kerry winning the 2004 election by five points when he actually lost by three.
John Podhoretz
As a matter of policy, increasing taxes on the most economically productive group, which already generates 60 percent of the nation's federal revenues, during a sustained period of economic doldrums is a wretched idea.
John Podhoretz
The most passionately anti-Obama Republican politicians and activists consider themselves the truest and purest of conservatives, and often unleash their scorn and fury on others who also call themselves conservative but differ on strategy and tactics.
John Podhoretz
Is victory sweet because your side wins - or is it really because the other side loses?
John Podhoretz
You want a political culture that works to create conditions under which an economy can thrive? Since signing the Oslo Accords with the Palestinians, Israel has spent two decades working to unshackle its economy from its socialist roots, with remarkable results.
John Podhoretz
What people adore about superhero movies is the signal quality of the Christopher Nolan films - their complete lack of irony when it comes to the portrayal of heroism and the need for heroes to confront evil.
John Podhoretz
