More quotes by Jonah Goldberg
Not reassuring when weathermen say 'Today will be terrible but don't worry it won't be as terrible as tomorrow or Friday.
Jonah Goldberg
We are a species that must try to impose and find systems - systems of thought, ways of organizing and categorizing reality.
Jonah Goldberg
And, of course, liberals see no problem with using the government to impose their cultural beliefs on others they just won't admit that's what they're doing.
Jonah Goldberg
John Kerry is a sphincter. Okay, that's a bit juvenile.
Jonah Goldberg
Republican politics have been off-kilter for several years now because a large segment of the conservative base does not look back fondly on the Bush presidency.
Jonah Goldberg
Despite what you may have been taught about Indians or Africans or ancient Celts, poor people are terrible stewards of their environment. For instance, if my kid were starving to death, I would happily feed her fresh panda.
Jonah Goldberg
[Libertarianism] is about curbing state power to let people be and do what they want. Liberalism is about using state power to make people do and be what liberals want. And that makes all the difference in the world.
Jonah Goldberg
The government cannot love you, and any politics that works on a different assumption is destined for no good.
Jonah Goldberg
Everyone understands that [democrat Senator Harry Reid] is deliberately lying. The man reads his lies from prepared texts. You can't read from a script and then claim you misspoke.
Jonah Goldberg
The problem with the United Nations is that while democracy within nations is the best available form of government, democracy among nations can be a moral disaster - especially if some nations are not democracies.
Jonah Goldberg
[A] country without a word to describe its love for what is best within it is a country ill-equipped to defend what is best within it.
Jonah Goldberg
In Europe and America alike, voters increasingly recognize that the benefits of the green revolution aren't worth the costs, particularly when the revolutionaries don't have a clue what they're doing.
Jonah Goldberg
Capitalism is the greatest system ever created for alleviating general human misery, and yet it breeds ingratitude.
Jonah Goldberg
When you treat reprehensible and ludicrous arguments with respect you have elevated the reprehensible and made the ludicrous a bit more reasonable. Having a serious argument with a Nazi makes the horror of the Holocaust a debatable point. Don't wrestle in the mud with pigs. You get dirty and the pig likes it.
Jonah Goldberg
Yes, I know liberals are more empirical because Jonathan Chait says they are, but my empirical studies of liberal empiricism keep spitting out contradictory findings.
Jonah Goldberg
A lot of the things that Trump needs to do to be a popular president requires annoying his biggest fans.
Jonah Goldberg
Dissent is morally neutral. You can correctly call yourself a dissident because you like to kick puppies, but at the end of the day, you're just a jerk who likes to kick puppies.
Jonah Goldberg
If you write for the critics, only the critics will read you.
Jonah Goldberg
Governing involves choosing and making choices between competing goods.
Jonah Goldberg
In many respects fascism not only is here but has been here for nearly a century. For what we call liberalism--the refurbished edifice of American Progressivism--is in fact a descendant and manifestation of fascism.
