More quotes by Jonah Goldberg
A lot of the things that Trump needs to do to be a popular president requires annoying his biggest fans.
Jonah Goldberg
Keep in mind that Eric Alterman is media critic for The Nation-a hysterically left-wing magazine dedicated to the proposition that corporate America, U.S. foreign policy and the Republican Party are criminal, racist or both. The simple reality is that, for him, the Democratic Party is far too conservative.
Jonah Goldberg
I've just returned from my daughter's Halloween parade at grade school. She was supergirl - and she was perfect. And, even better, she still considers boys to be made of kryptonite.
Jonah Goldberg
If you think shrinking government and getting it less involved in your life is a hallmark of tyranny it is only because you are either grotesquely ignorant or because you subscribe to a statist ideology that believes the expansion of the state is the expansion of liberty.
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
Public unions are the country's foremost advocates for increased taxes at all levels of government.
Jonah Goldberg
If power made one evil, then God would be the Devil.
Jonah Goldberg
The government cannot love you, and any politics that works on a different assumption is destined for no good.
Jonah Goldberg
Conservatives value economic liberty and moral security, while the liberal values economic security and moral liberty.
Jonah Goldberg
[A] country without a word to describe its love for what is best within it is a country ill-equipped to defend what is best within it.
Jonah Goldberg
John Kerry is a sphincter. Okay, that's a bit juvenile.
Jonah Goldberg
But you're never taught in schools - we don't teach anyone in public schools that government is the problem. We don't teach anyone in college that government is the problem - except maybe a handful of sort of unique, conservative schools. But mainstream media never talks as if government is the problem.
Jonah Goldberg
I like vengeance as much as the next guy, if the next guy likes vengeance a whole lot.
Jonah Goldberg
But if the choice is a cool president and 8 or 10 percent unemployment in a declining economy and a country that seems to be going in the wrong direction and structural unemployment for young people at 50 percent, I'd rather have a dorky president who fixed those problems.
Jonah Goldberg
Cultures grow on the vine of tradition.
Jonah Goldberg
Pragmatism is the disguise progressive and other ideologues do when they want to demonize competing ideologies.
Jonah Goldberg
In many respects fascism not only is here but has been here for nearly a century. For what we call liberalism--the refurbished edifice of American Progressivism--is in fact a descendant and manifestation of fascism.
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
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
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.
