The premise of my book is that everyone is a bit ideological to some extent. Everyone comes from a ideological perspective Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Our country, if you read the ‘Federalist Papers,’ is about disagreement. It’s about pitting faction against faction, divided government, checks and balances. The hero in American political tradition is the man who stands up to the mob - not the mob itself Picture Quote #1

The main difference between liberals and conservatives is that conservatives are honest about it. We’re kind of dorks about it. We are kind of like Dungeons and Dragons geeks Picture Quote #1

If you spend any time in Washington you’ll find nerds. What happens is most of them sublimate their fixations with comics, or baseball cards, or 1960s British comedies to policy minutiae and political arcana. But, like Christians in ancient Rome, you can still spot them if you know the signals Picture Quote #1

Liberals and leftists have been dismissing inconvenient facts by attacking motives for generations. In the 1930s, 40s, and 50s, Soviet spies and abettors attacked the motives of their accusers because the fact of their guilt was undeniable. In the 1960s, over a thousand psychiatrists who’d never even met Barry Goldwater signed a petition saying the GOP candidate was too mentally unstable to be president Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Are you a producer or a looter? If diversity were always and everywhere good we would be clamoring for more midgets in the NBA Picture Quote #1

The Founders understood that democracy was important, but if you didn’t filter it through a republican system you’d be just as likely to end up with a tyranny of the majority as you would with a healthy society. Don’t worry, I won’t quote the Federalist Papers, but trust me, it’s in there Picture Quote #1

And in the minds of progressives you are free to live anyway you want so long as it’s progressive Picture Quote #1

As a broad generalization, big businesses have no moral objections to being whores. Getting into bed with Uncle Sam is all a question of price, not principle Picture Quote #1

[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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I am just mystified by these people telling me I would think Obama was doing a great job if his skin contained less melanin Picture Quote #1

Conservatives value economic liberty and moral security, while the liberal values economic security and moral liberty Picture Quote #1

Joe Biden says the Wall Street crisis is the result of George W. Bush’s tax cuts, which makes as much sense as blaming the rising price of fairy dust. But as a wise man once asked, Who gives a rat’s patoot what Joe Biden thinks? Picture Quote #1

Historians write favorably, you know, for example, about Stalin because he was doing big things Picture Quote #1

Those who say [Joseph] Padilla should get a civilian trial are essentially saying that if you reject the rules of civilized nations, like those inscribed in the Geneva Convention, you therefore deserve to be treated better, not worse, than those rules require Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
