NOTABLE QUOTES

"If you vote for politicians who promise to give you someone else's money, don't complain if they give your money to someone else - or, indeed, if they give it to themselves."

-Daniel Hannan

Notable Quotes

"Most people on the right have no problem understanding people on the left because many, if not most, were on the left themselves when they were younger. But many, if not most, people on the left find it inexplicable how any decent and intelligent person could be on the right."

-Thomas Sowell

Notable Quotes

"The GOP has many problems, but the Democratic Party has turned into something completely un-American. The United States was founded on two things: Judeo-Christian values and a limited federal government. The entire platform of modern Democrats stands completely opposite both of those."

Jesse Kelley

Notable Quotes

"I'm often incredulous at the self-satisfied political ignorance and gullibility of successful, otherwise high-functioning and intellectually curious Democrats. The range and depth of their ignorance regarding easily ascertainable facts is astounding..."

J Paul Masko, III

Notable Quotes

"Mr. Obama isn't a leftist lightweight or an incompetent; nor is he a little engaged chief executive who cares more about golfing, surfing, and taxpayer-funded multimillion dollar dates with Michelle than remaking the nation -- radically so. Mr. Obama is truly a rock-solid left-wing ideologue, with a strong strategic grasp, and a man who has Alinsky's tactics down cold."

J. Robert Smith

Notable Quotes

"American conservatism didn't arise from a yearning to conform to public opinion. Its raison d'être was to defend constitutional liberty and economic opportunity – free men and free markets – and to make the case that human dignity and prosperity flourish not when government is all-powerful, but when it is limited."

Jeff Jacoby

Notable Quotes

"There is something worse than being a person without a party. And that is being a member of a party without a soul. "

James P. Gannon

Notable Quotes

"[H]istory proves no state is immune from the self-inflicted idiocy of its leaders or people. Just how long we will survive in this state is now a proposition fully engaged. It is the great social experiment of the 21st century."

Michael Austin

Notable Quotes

"The Democrats have been building a national machine while the Republicans have been running campaigns...
...As a general rule Machines beat campaigns."

Newt Gingrich

Notable Quotes

"It is growing ever more obvious that we are headed towards a Hunger Games nation where the political elites hold the rest of the nation both in contempt and in bondage through the destruction of personal property rights and the dismantling of individual freedoms."

Jer

Notable Quotes

“We send good conservatives to D.C. to fulfill the promises they made to the electorate, and yet when they stay true to their word the permanent political class in their own party punishes them. This won't be forgotten come 2014. Right now the GOP establishment is more concerned about the opinion of the media and the Georgetown cocktail circuit than they are ‘we the people’ who hired them. For all this new talk of how the GOP needs a ‘populist movement,’ it would do them good to remember they already have one; it’s called the Tea Party movement, and it won for them the majority they now enjoy in the House.”

Sarah Palin

Notable Quotes

"Listen, Republican leadership, you made a cock-up of this last election. We conservatives are stunned and still reeling that you could have lost it. We can't believe it. This election was impossible to lose. We should have been able to run Donald Duck and win. But you managed to lose the election to the worst president in American history -- an anti-American Marxist -- in a horrible economic recession he is largely responsible for, and you still lost the election. That is really an incredible accomplishment. We can't wait to see what you're going to do for us next."

J.T. Hatter

Notable Quotes

"He (Calvin Coolidge) also said, 'Don’t expect to build up the weak by pulling down the strong.' Today, it seems the GOP is willing to pull down the strong so they don’t get blamed by the weak. They’re going to get blamed anyway. They might as well fight."

Erick Erickson

Notable Quotes

"Washington suffers from too little principle, not too little compromise."

George Neumayr

Notable Quotes

“Liberals look at the Obama majority and see a coalition bound together by enlightened values — reason rather than superstition, tolerance rather than bigotry, equality rather than hierarchy. But it’s just as easy to see a coalition created by social disintegration and unified by economic fear.”

ROSS DOUTHAT

Notable Quotes

"Accusing the Democratic Party of buying votes with taxpayer money is like accusing Toyota of manufacturing automobiles"

JOHN HINDERAKER

Notable Quotes

"The biggest problem with the American electorate is not ideology, it is ignorance. The American public is so ignorant with regards to the Constitution and the rule of law that they are not even aware of how much they are being abused."

Jer

Notable Quotes

"One of the secrets of Barack Obama's success is his ability to say things that will sound both plausible and inspiring to uninformed people, even when they sound ridiculous to people who know the facts. Apparently he believes the former outnumber the latter, and the election results suggest that he may be right."

Thomas Sowell

Notable Quotes

“It’s not going to be the last time anyone says something stupid within our party, but it can’t be tolerated within our party. We’ve also had enough of this dumbed-down conservatism. We need to stop being simplistic, we need to trust the intelligence of the American people and we need to stop insulting the intelligence of the voters.”

Bobby Jindal

Notable Quotes

"Why Romney lost?  When you're in a fight you have to throw punches."
