More quotes by Jonah Goldberg
In crude Marxist terms, liberals have a theory of infallible government that is constantly at war with the reality of life.
Jonah Goldberg
I am just mystified by these people telling me I would think Obama was doing a great job if his skin contained less melanin.
Jonah Goldberg
Capitalism is the greatest system ever created for alleviating general human misery, and yet it breeds ingratitude.
Jonah Goldberg
Getting the support of Syria is the moral equivalent of winning the Klan's endorsement - it might be useful but it doesn't necessarily speak well of you.
Jonah Goldberg
Hollywood's martyr-mythology leaves out the fact that the famed Hollywood Ten, for example, were in fact members of the Communist Party, which advocated the violent overthrow of the U.S. government in violation of the Smith Act and which took orders directly from Moscow.
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
The Founders understood that democracy was important, but if you didn't filter it through a republican system you'd be just as likely to end up with a tyranny of the majority as you would with a healthy society. Don't worry, I won't quote the Federalist Papers, but trust me, it's in there.
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
We are a species that must try to impose and find systems - systems of thought, ways of organizing and categorizing reality.
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
Tom Friedman says China is so awesome they make kosher pigs.
Jonah Goldberg
The decision [to create a theme park called EuroWorld] was made by the EU countries in response to their collective realization that no one in Europe has had an innovative idea in well over a century.
Jonah Goldberg
You know those Navy SEALs, they weren't Democrats and Republicans. They were just doing what was best for America. Wouldn't that be a great country if all of you Americans were just like that? You followed orders, you marched in step and you followed my agenda.
Jonah Goldberg
Simply because the nanny-state wants to hug you doesn't mean it's not tyrannical if you don't want to be hugged.
Jonah Goldberg
But this is the kind of ass-clownery that stems from the fact that all philosophy looks weird when you don't have one.
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
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
Cultures grow on the vine of tradition.
Jonah Goldberg
The progressive notion of the state as a loving, caring parent is becoming a bipartisan affair.
