Ben Shapiro

Ben Shapiro Quotes #138489
#12. When I was a kid, I'd wake up extraordinarily early every morning and turn on the television, scanning for episodes of 'The Jetsons.' For some reason, I loved the notion of a future where there would be flying cars, supercomputers, and most of all, robot maids to take care of the chores.

#17. A West Virginia 10 is a California 4. Or at least that's what legend tells us: The Legend of Dr. Feelgood. Plastic surgery has a permanent home here, which is why Nancy Pelosi loves our Botoxed beaches. Beverly Hills looks like a moving Madame Tussauds.

Ben Shapiro

Ben Shapiro Quotes #211689
#18. Google is a private company. It has the capacity to utilize its massive power for whatever political agenda it chooses. But for it to pretend to be an advocate for Internet freedom while simultaneously disadvantaging messages it finds politically incorrect is deeply hypocritical.

Ben Shapiro

Ben Shapiro Quotes #432829

Ben Shapiro Quotes #583179
#36. In the aftermath of President Obama's re-election, members of both the administration and the media trumpeted that Obama had received his long-sought mandate. Obamacare, Americans were told, was the law of the land. It could not be changed; it could not be stopped.

Ben Shapiro

Ben Shapiro Quotes #589487
#37. Same-sex marriage is not the final nail in the coffin for traditional marriage. It is just another road sign toward the substitution of government for God. Every moral discussion now pits the wisest moral arbiters among us - the Supreme Court, President Obama - against traditional religion.

Ben Shapiro

Ben Shapiro Quotes #646017

Ben Shapiro

Ben Shapiro Quotes #716335

Ben Shapiro

Ben Shapiro Quotes #719814

Ben Shapiro

Ben Shapiro Quotes #804689

Ben Shapiro

Ben Shapiro Quotes #809513

Ben Shapiro

Ben Shapiro Quotes #814046
#56. 2013 was a year of myths falling apart. The myth of President Obama - a myth in which Obama was a messianic figure descending to bequeath health care, equality, and brotherhood on mankind - imploded. The myth of an America embracing the leftist social agenda collapsed.

Ben Shapiro

Ben Shapiro Quotes #1021863

Ben Shapiro

Ben Shapiro Quotes #1022295
#71. Let's assume for the moment that the logic behind Presidents Day is actually sound for certain presidents. Why not have a separate holiday for Lincoln and one for Washington - as we used to do, before we became so concerned with the 'Every President Gets a Trophy' ethos?

Ben Shapiro

Ben Shapiro Quotes #1037039

Ben Shapiro

Ben Shapiro Quotes #1038038
#75. After nearly half a century, it's easy to forget that the Hays Code was not some outside limitation imposed by the government. It was a content standard imposed by motion picture companies voluntarily.

Ben Shapiro

Ben Shapiro

Ben Shapiro Quotes #1069456
#77. Few Americans have ever met their Congresspeople. They don't see them at the grocery store; they don't meet them at the bowling alley. They're more likely to see their representatives in photographs from the Daily Grill in Washington, D.C., than at a local town hall.

Ben Shapiro

Ben Shapiro Quotes #1156696
#84. The Fourth Amendment is quite clear on the notion that search and seizure must not be unreasonable. It is difficult to think of something more unreasonable than searching the private phone records and digital information of citizens who are suspected of nothing.

Ben Shapiro

Ben Shapiro Quotes #1159809

Ben Shapiro

Ben Shapiro Quotes #1198147
#87. The Left masks its distaste for the Bible's condemnation of homosexuality in a straw man argument that Bible believers are violent bigots. They are not. Citing the Bible doesn't make you a bigot against human beings - it makes you a bigot against sin, which is a good thing.

#90. In actuality, California could be a wonderful place to live. In fact, if you're highly educated and ambitious, you can do quite well here while enjoying the sun and the fun. The only problem: California will then blame you for your success and recommend that all your cash be removed from you.

Ben Shapiro

Ben Shapiro Quotes #1275958

Ben Shapiro

Ben Shapiro Quotes #1297553
#92. The European style of living is seductive: fewer hours worked, more hours at the cafe, less concern over self-betterment. But that style of living does not produce a purposeful life.

Ben Shapiro

Ben Shapiro Quotes #1332441

#97. The Muslim world just doesn't believe that skin color is all that important. Obama may be half-black, but he's still all-Western, according to them. It doesn't matter whether you're black, white or green - if you're not a devotee of Muhammad, you don't matter.

Ben Shapiro

Ben Shapiro Quotes #1416440
#98. Washington's birthday is worthy of celebration - he is one of the greatest men in history. But Washington himself would likely have seen celebration of the office of the presidency itself as monarchic in nature.

Ben Shapiro

Ben Shapiro Quotes #1420325
#99. There are times that everyone hates his or her job. Were they freed from the economic consequences of having these jobs, they'd drop out of the workforce. There are only two problems with this strategy: First, someone has to pay for it; second, it is not the recipe for human fulfillment.
