More quotes by Jonah Goldberg

Jonah Goldberg
John Kerry is a sphincter. Okay, that's a bit juvenile.

Capitalism is the greatest system ever created for alleviating general human misery, and yet it breeds ingratitude.
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
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 premise of my book is that everyone is a bit ideological to some extent. Everyone comes from a ideological perspective.
Jonah Goldberg
Liberals are Nazis, and Nazis are liberals. And if you don't agree with me, you're a Nazi too.
Jonah Goldberg
One of the things that really drove me crazy was the way in which college kids, in particular, are educated to think that ideology is dangerous and bad.
Jonah Goldberg
I think what we're seeing on a lot of parts of the right is people bending their positions and their principles on account of the fact that Donald Trump won.
Jonah Goldberg
A week after his State of the Union address, political observers are still trying to figure out what President Obama's game is. That's because rhetorically and substantively, he seems to be in another world.
Jonah Goldberg
You can see why the Marxist left would resist the idea that Hitler was a revolutionary. Because if he was, then either Hitler was a force for good, or revolutions can be bad.
Jonah Goldberg
Cultures grow on the vine of tradition.
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
Free trade has been proven, time and again, as a reliable path to economic development. It pushes the public and private sectors alike toward greater accountability and transparency. It lifts people out of poverty, and while it can force unsettling changes on a society, those changes prove to be worthwhile in a very short time.
