In his new book, “The Tyranny of Cliches,” conservative author Jonah Goldberg argues that progressives disguise their ideological agenda as pragmatism which inhibits debate. Ideology is not something to be shunned, he says, it’s an inevitable part of political discourse. He joins us in studio to discuss his perspectives on partisanship and rhetoric.

Guests:

Jonah Goldberg, contributing editor to the National Review. Also a Founding Editor of National Review Online and author most recently of "The Tyranny of Cliches: How Liberals Cheat in the War of Ideas."
