"Europe is belatedly discovering how unbelievably stupid it was to import millions of people from cultures that despise Western values and which often promote hatred toward the people who have let them in."

-Thomas Sowell

Notable Quotes

" Ultimately the debate over government surveillance focuses on a truth that many seem to have forgotten: The founders did not include the Fourth Amendment in the Bill of Rights as a suggestion. "

-Senator Rand Paul

Notable Quotes

"[A] sad moment for the United States. We have seen a Putin power play, based on a Kerry gaffe, leading to a face-saving presidential retreat — and this was apparently the best of the available options."

Michel Gerson

Notable Quote

"For a quarter-century, from Kuwait to Kosovo to Kandahar, the civilized world has gone to war only in order to save or liberate Muslims. The Pentagon is little more than central dispatch for the U.S. military’s Muslim Fast Squad. And what do we have to show for it? Liberating Syria isn’t like liberating the Netherlands: In the Middle East, the enemy of our enemy is also our enemy. Yes, those BBC images of schoolchildren with burning flesh are heart-rending. So we’ll get rid of Assad and install the local branch of al-Qaeda or the Muslim Brotherhood or whatever plucky neophyte democrat makes it to the presidential palace first — and then, instead of napalmed schoolyards, there will be, as in Egypt, burning Christian churches and women raped for going uncovered."

Mark Steyn

Notable Quotes

"Don’t know about you, but I find this pre-emptive cringing unworthy of a great country, even humiliating. Why do we allow a bunch of extremist thugs to close us down, rather than the reverse? For what purpose do we pay for the world’s best military and largest intelligence services if not to protect ourselves from this sort of threat?"

Danial Pipes

Notable Quotes

"Even if this court [FISA] turned down every request from NSA, the principle of a secret court which issues secret opinions is incompatible with even the broadest understanding of what democracy (or republic) means. Unless, that is, we now mean to include the Peoples Democratic Republic of North Korea."

Notable Quotes

"[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."

Angelo M. Codevilla

Notable Quotes

"I don’t know if Benghazi is a scandal because of bad foreign policy, “leading from behind”, true incompetence or criminal indifference. I have an opinion but as a citizen, I have no ability to investigate on my own. In the past, that was the role of the press, to be the surrogate of the public. That role is no more."

Notable Qotes

"Have you noticed how many of our enemies in other countries have been rooting for Obama? You or your children may yet have reason to recall that as a bitter memory of a warning sign ignored on election day in 2012."

Thomas Sowell

Notable Quotes

"[T]he conclusion to be drawn is quite simple: CBS News, in an effort to assist President Obama’s re-election campaign, corruptly concealed information about two critical issues–namely, a terror attack and the president’s dishonesty about it. When the players in the Libya scandal face investigation, so, too, should CBS News and those in the mainstream media who have wantonly assisted the administration’s shameless lies."

Scott Johnson

Notable Quotes

"While the agencies separately defend themselves — or not — the White House appears determined to put off any serious discussion of Benghazi until after the election. Sooner or later, however, the administration must answer questions about what increasingly looks like a major security failure — and about the policies that led to it."

Washington Post Editorial Booard

"My son violated his orders in order to protect the lives of at least 30 people. He risked his life to be a hero. I wish that the leadership in the White House had the same moral courage that my son displayed with his life."

Charles Wood

Notable Quotes

"Al-Qaida is on the run — Running right into our consulates, apparently"

John Bolton

Notable Quotes

“The Obama administration failed to protect the consulate, failed to respond to requests, rejected demands that they get help. The ambassador was personally worried about not only his own life, but about violence, and the Obama administration did nothing, and if that offends the president, then that’s his problem, and he ought to get over it.”


Newt Gingrich

Notable Quotes

" Obama used to pretend that the end of the wars would be accompanied by all kinds of positive developments in the Muslim world. No longer. Now we’re just heading for the exits, lobbing drones as we go."

William Kristol

Notable Quotes

"The heroes of Flight 93 didn’t have a week to conclude we were under terrorist attack on September 11, 2001."

"Progressive ideas are the worms that have eaten the oak from American culture to the point where self-defense is now held to be inherently aggressive and illegitimate."

Jeff Perren

"Notable Quotes"

“I don’t need polling or political strategists to help define a nuanced stance on Israel. We are engaged in a worldwide struggle against radical, violent jihad. It is the defining issue of our time. Our best friends and the strongest allies in this fight are in the State of Israel.


“Let’s remember – Israel is our ally. Israel is a democracy, Hamas is a terrorist group with clear and genuine intentions of destroying Israel’s way of life.”
