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
...associational ad hominem attacks remain the left's favorite rhetorical strategy for undermining opponents.

When you treat reprehensible and ludicrous arguments with respect you have elevated the reprehensible and made the ludicrous a bit more reasonable.

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
When activists say we need to move past the partisan divide, what they mean is: Shut up and get with my program. Have you ever heard anyone say, We need to get past all of this partisan squabbling and name-calling. That's why I'm going to abandon all my objections and agree with you?
Jonah Goldberg
A lot of the things that Trump needs to do to be a popular president requires annoying his biggest fans.
Jonah Goldberg
Those who say [Joseph] Padilla should get a civilian trial are essentially saying that if you reject the rules of civilized nations, like those inscribed in the Geneva Convention, you therefore deserve to be treated better, not worse, than those rules require.
Jonah Goldberg
I like vengeance as much as the next guy, if the next guy likes vengeance a whole lot.
Jonah Goldberg
The white male is the Jew of liberal fascism.
Jonah Goldberg
Science is wonderful at explaining what science is wonderful at explaining, but beyond that it tends to look for its car keys where the light is good.
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
Nothing drives your opponents more crazy than being utterly reasonable. And nothing makes demonizing or delegitimizing your opponents easier than letting them shriek unreasonable things for you. The Republicans need to get back to being the party that elicits unreasonable shrieking from their opponents. Not the other way around.
Jonah Goldberg
Conservatives value economic liberty and moral security, while the liberal values economic security and moral liberty.
