Jonah Goldberg

Jonah Goldberg
Cultures grow on the vine of tradition.
Jonah Goldberg

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?
