Joseph Sobran Quotes

War is just one more big government program Picture Quote #1

If we need women in our defense forces, we must not need much defense Picture Quote #1

Most Americans aren’t the sort of citizens the Founding Fathers expected; they are contented serfs. Far from being active critics of government, they assume that its might makes it right Picture Quote #1

Mass democracy guarantees stupidity. Masses of people, even if they’re individually intelligent, can only act stupidly Picture Quote #1

Need’ now means wanting someone else’s money. ‘Greed’ means wanting to keep your own. ‘Compassion’ is when a politician arranges the transfer Picture Quote #1

Voters who live off taxpayers are the Democrats’ ace in the hole. The Democrats created big programs and never let the recipients forget it. This gives them an initial advantage of tens of millions of votes in any presidential election Picture Quote #1

Thus does a ‘necessary evil’ become an idol. Maybe we’re stuck with it. But do we have to worship it? Picture Quote #1

Altering the Constitution has become the daily business of the Federal Government which the document is supposed to guide and limit. Both Congress and the judiciary assume, and exercise, countless powers they aren’t entitled to Picture Quote #1

Can the real Constitution be restored? Probably not. Too many Americans depend on government money under programs the Constitution doesn’t authorize, and money talks with an eloquence Shakespeare could only envy. Ignorant people don’t understand The Federalist Papers, but they understand government checks with their names on them Picture Quote #1

Not surprisingly, the federal judiciary nearly always rules in favor of the federal government. Judicial review, contrary to the assurances of its advocates, has hardly restrained Congress at all. Instead it has progressively stripped the states of their traditional powers, while allowing federal power to grow unchecked Picture Quote #1

Some people don’t mind a little constitutional sophistry in a good cause; and for liberals, centralizing all power in the federal government is always a good cause. Since most Americans don’t know or care what the Constitution says, let alone what their ancestors thought it meant, the great liberal snow job has been very successful Picture Quote #1

If one person in America had starved over the last 20 years, you, reader, would know his name. The media would see to that. It would be the most thoroughly documented death since John Kennedy’s Picture Quote #1

The Second Amendment, like the rest of the Bill of Rights, was meant to inhibit only the federal government, not the states. The framers, as The Federalist Papers attest (see No. 28), saw the state militias as forces that might be summoned into action against the federal government itself, if it became tyrannical Picture Quote #1

I realize that the New York Times probably not written for the express purpose of driving me mad; I think of it as liberalism’s daily bulletin board Picture Quote #1

The liberal understanding of ‘the separation of church and state’ means that as the area of politics expands, the area of private freedom - religious and otherwise - shrinks Picture Quote #1

Liberalism’s fatal flaw,... is that it has no permanent norms, only a succession of enthusiasms espoused by minor prophets. Each of these seems like a hot new idea to liberals, but soon goes to irksome and destructive extremes Picture Quote #1

Government is the agent of those who are too refined to do their own mugging Picture Quote #1
