More quotes by Jonah Goldberg
The white male is the Jew of liberal fascism.
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
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
I like vengeance as much as the next guy, if the next guy likes vengeance a whole lot.
Jonah Goldberg
America's political system used to be about the pursuit of happiness. Now More and more of us want to stop chasing it and have it delivered.
Jonah Goldberg
Liberals are Nazis, and Nazis are liberals. And if you don't agree with me, you're a Nazi too.
Jonah Goldberg
The search for a moral equivalent of war continues to define American liberalism to this day.
Jonah Goldberg
...associational ad hominem attacks remain the left's favorite rhetorical strategy for undermining opponents.
Jonah Goldberg
The Mars Polar Lander cost the average American the price of half a cheeseburger. A human lander would cost the average American more - perhaps even ten cheeseburgers! So be it. That is no great sacrifice.
Jonah Goldberg
Of course, it's a mystery to me why any American who can't be bothered to pay attention to politics unless Pamela Anderson is discussing it should be welcome in that conversation.
Jonah Goldberg
If you write for the critics, only the critics will read you.
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
I'd like to know why sociologists can't decide whether movie sex and violence has any effect on children, but there's a universal consensus that even a glimpse of a Camel will force children to become lifelong smokers.
Jonah Goldberg
Public unions are the country's foremost advocates for increased taxes at all levels of government.
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
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
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
If power made one evil, then God would be the Devil.
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
Fascism isn't a libertarian doctrine! It just isn't, never will be and it can't be cast as one.
