Jonah Goldberg is a shill for the rich men north of Richmond.

“moderation”

I am all for the “moderation” of government power.

We also need to ‘wall off’ middle class money by permanent constitutional caps on property and income taxation on incomes smaller than the top governmental pay of any federal official.

His book Liberal Fascism was quite a good work. He seems like he just went completely off the rails shortly thereafter.

I’m guessing Jonah is embarrassed these days by his 2008 book “Liberal Fascism.” He’s become what he wrote about.

Jonah Goldberg = Useful idiot

Goldberg is no idiot. He doesn't compromise on issues that are important to him.

It’s gotten so blatant and in-your-face that only those too blind to see or are willingly ignoring it out of fear don’t say anything.

I'm guessing Goldberg is fiercely pro-Israel, and has no problem with Zionism (i.e., Jewish nationalism). It's only when others practice nationalism that it becomes a problem for him.

Poor Jonah. Everything would be fine if it weren’t for all those pesky voters.

I met his mother, Lucianne, at a CPAC.

At least I could talk to her.

We are a democratic Republic, Jonah.

We are a Constitutional Republic, Vaquero.

Not a democracy, per se.

Not a democracy, of any kind.

Because small donors — large donors actually have a strategic view about moderation, who can win, who can’t.

Translation - large donors have a vested, monied interest, small donors don't...in his eyes.

He couldn't even finish his sentence regarding small donors he has so much disdain.

We know what's best for you! /Jonah's spiel

A Republic that over time because of the siren call of “egalitarianism” has drifted into “democracy” - mobocracy!
