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.

More quotes by Jonah Goldberg
I think there needs to be a meeting to set an agenda for more meetings about meetings.
Jonah Goldberg
Capitalism is the greatest system ever created for alleviating general human misery, and yet it breeds ingratitude.
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
The search for a moral equivalent of war continues to define American liberalism to this day.
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
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
The government cannot love you, and any politics that works on a different assumption is destined for no good.
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
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
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
We are a species that must try to impose and find systems - systems of thought, ways of organizing and categorizing reality.
Jonah Goldberg
The problem with the United Nations is that while democracy within nations is the best available form of government, democracy among nations can be a moral disaster - especially if some nations are not democracies.
Jonah Goldberg
Progressivism, liberalism, or whatever you want to call it has become an ideology of power. So long as liberals hold it, principles don't matter.
Jonah Goldberg
...associational ad hominem attacks remain the left's favorite rhetorical strategy for undermining opponents.
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
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
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
In Europe and America alike, voters increasingly recognize that the benefits of the green revolution aren't worth the costs, particularly when the revolutionaries don't have a clue what they're doing.
Jonah Goldberg
A lot of the things that Trump needs to do to be a popular president requires annoying his biggest fans.
Jonah Goldberg
And in the minds of progressives you are free to live anyway you want so long as it's progressive.
Jonah Goldberg
