- Thomas Sowell

Notable Quotes

"We get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That's the only reason to build them. They don't make sense without the tax credit"

...tyranny is not a word that belongs in snicker-quotes. It is humanity’s default form of government, to which no country should ever presume itself immune.

Christopher Caldwell

Notable Quotes

"The story of the last decade in American life is, indeed, a story of consolidation and self-dealing at the top. There really is a kind of 'court party' in American politics, whose shared interests and assumptions — interventionist, corporatist, globalist — have stamped the last two presidencies and shaped just about every major piece of Obama-era legislation. There really is a disconnect between this elite’s priorities and those of the country as a whole. There really is a sense in which the ruling class — in Washington, especially — has grown fat at the expense of the nation it governs."

Ross Douthat

Unless, that is, we now mean to include the Peoples Democratic Republic of North Korea."

"[O]n the high end, anyone can purchase voice and internet communications software that are beyond the capacity of anyone to access without an electronic key. On the low end, anyone with a few hundred dollars can buy dozens of pre paid cell phones, each to be used to make or receive a single call and then be thrown away. NSA’s million square-foot facility in Utah, and all the antennas and computers in the world, are useless against that."

"[T]here is now a significant gap between what most Americans think the law allows and what the government secretly claims the law allows. This is a problem, because it is impossible to have an informed public debate about what the law should say when the public doesn’t know what its government thinks the law says."

Senators Ron Wyden (Ore.) and Mark Udall (Colo.)

Michael Gerson

Notable Quotes

Washington Post

Notable Quotes

"The modern Keynesian state is broke, paralyzed and mired in empty ritual incantations about stimulating 'demand,' even as it fosters a mutant crony capitalism that periodically lavishes the top 1 percent with speculative windfalls."
