Jonah Goldberg was on the Hugh Hewitt radio program

I missed Jonah Goldberg, author of the new bestseller "Liberal Fascism," when he appeared recently on Hugh Hewitt's radio show.

Fortunately, I know I can find transcripts at Duane Patterson's Radioblogger site.

The show again helped back up Hewitt's branding of his show as "The very best in political talk."

Just a taste:

JG: Rousseau says the government is there, that our rights come from the government, that come from the collective. Locke says our rights come from God, and that we only create a government to protect our interests. The Rousseauian says you can make a religion out of society and politics, and the Lockean says no, religion is a separate sphere from politics. And that is the defining distinction between the two, and I think that distinction also runs through the human heart, that we all have a Rousseauian temptation in us. And it’s the job of conservatives to remind people that the Lockean in us needs to win.
