More quotes by John Podhoretz
Robots have a rich and storied history in movies.
John Podhoretz
This has always been the way of presidential politics. The president rises above the fray while his surrogates go on the attack. They throw the spears and fling the mud he sits upon the throne.
John Podhoretz
That distinctive presidential conduct is now gone forever, banished to the snows of yesteryear by Barack Obama. From the beginning of his presidency to the present, he has spoken specifically and in unprecedented fashion of Republicans as his rivals, his stumbling blocks, the primary cause of his troubles.
John Podhoretz
I don't feel alienated from American culture, but I understand people who do.
John Podhoretz
Every great political campaign rewrites the rules devising a new way to win is what gives campaigns a comparative advantage against their foes.
John Podhoretz
Unquestionably, American political rhetoric can be repugnant, and the Right can certainly be as guilty as the Left.
John Podhoretz
Here's a very good rule of thumb in politics: losing begets losing.
John Podhoretz
When Obama was inaugurated, he and his team had an insight - though whether the insight was conscious or not I don't know. But it was this: The TARP $700 billion price tag was a new kind of model.
John Podhoretz
There's no light at the end of the tunnel in the Republican message, no promise of better things to come. There's only the present stagnation, followed by a slow decline.
John Podhoretz
Hurtling the Pentagon into an unprecedented budgetary meltdown is horrifically irresponsible. Obama doesn't care. This is war - not against the Taliban, but war against the GOP. He has Republicans on the ropes, and that's a victory he savors and desires - unlike Afghanistan, where he seems only to want to turn tail.
John Podhoretz
I was wholeheartedly attracted to the conservative atmosphere that permeated the city of Washington.
John Podhoretz
I've worked as someone's deputy, and now it's time for me to run something. It's time for me to run my own shop.
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.
John Podhoretz
Comedians and impressionists used to be two different showbiz animals entirely, but now there's no such thing as a comedian who doesn't do impressions.
John Podhoretz
Back in 1995, Bill Gates himself didn't understand that the internet was the direction computing was going.
John Podhoretz
As a member of the Mormon church, Romney is instructed to tithe 10 percent of his income. That's in keeping with most charitable giving: Religious institutions get about one-third of all contributions, according to 'The American' magazine.
John Podhoretz
All conservatives are bilingual we have to be. We speak both liberal and conservative. But liberals are monolingual - they don't have to be anything else. They speak liberal, and are completely ignorant of the conservative tongue.
John Podhoretz
For the record, I am not an admitted homosexual, nor am I a homosexual, though I do know the lyrics to every show tune ever written, which might perhaps account for the confusion.
John Podhoretz
Romney has adopted almost every position conservatives want their candidate to espouse: He's pro-life, he wants to repeal ObamaCare, he wants to cut taxes and cut the federal budget, and he wants an unapologetic foreign policy dedicated to the proposition that this too will be the American century.
John Podhoretz
America is great not because it's a team. America is great because it is a nation whose founding documents elevated the rights of the individual.
John Podhoretz
