I’ve been a fan of Jonah Goldberg’s writing for many years. The man is an outstanding writer, arguably the best conservative columnist in the business and he’s produced some great books, most notably Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning. The name most people associate with National Review has always been William F. Buckley, but he was a bit before my time and so when I think National Review, first and foremost, I think Jonah Goldberg. So for Jonah Goldberg to be leaving National Review is a little like Babe Ruth leaving the Yankees. Sure, they’ve still got some other great writers, but the best cleanup hitter in the game is going elsewhere.
In honor of his notable tenure at National Review, I wanted to highlight some of his best quotes; given that he’s one of the most quotable conservative writers out there, I probably could have made this list twice as long. Enjoy!
