Jonah Goldberg
And, of course, liberals see no problem with using the government to impose their cultural beliefs on others they just won't admit that's what they're doing.
Jonah Goldberg
I like vengeance as much as the next guy, if the next guy likes vengeance a whole lot.
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
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
Not reassuring when weathermen say 'Today will be terrible but don't worry it won't be as terrible as tomorrow or Friday.
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
