Book cover for The Corrosion of Conservatism: Why I Left the Right
MY OPPOSITION TO TRUMP went far beyond disagreement with his policy impulses; I would not dignify them by calling them “ideas” or “proposals.” I was morally offended by him, and apoplectic that anyone could think that he was remotely ...more

Timothy Snyder
“A nationalist...is not at all the same thing as a patriot. A nationalist encourages us to be our worst, and then tells us that we are the best.”
timothy snyder, On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century

John Lescroart
“At the hospital. You’ve told me you need people with a motive to have killed Markham, but you don’t know of anyone else except your client, so all right, let’s assume for the moment that it’s not him, although that continues to make me uncomfortable as hell, except still, what you need, even beyond motive, is presence, by which I mean that whoever it was had to be there and that brings us back around full circle.” “I’ll give you a dollar if you can diagram that last sentence for me.”
John Lescroart, The Oath

James W. Loewen
“Critical thinking requires assembling data to back up one’s opinion. Otherwise students may falsely conclude that all opinions are somehow equal.”
James W. Loewen, Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong

“On economics, crime, and welfare, the Clinton presidency offered plenty for conservatives to like. They never forgave him for it.”
Matthew Continetti, The Right: The Hundred-Year War for American Conservatism

Timothy Snyder
“Western journalists are also taught to report various interpretations of the facts. The adage that there are two sides to a story makes sense when those who represent each side accept the factuality of the world and interpret the same set of facts. Putin’s strategy of implausible deniability exploited this convention while destroying its basis. He positioned himself as a side of the story while mocking factuality. “I am lying to you openly and we both know it” is not a side of the story. It is a trap.”
Timothy Snyder, The Road to Unfreedom: Russia, Europe, America
