In his weekly column, Jonah Goldberg says “I don’t know who first said, ‘Behind every apparent double standard lies an unconfessed single standard’ …. , but whoever did was onto something.”

I’m nearly positive that Lawrence Auster was the first to say it, and he certainly said it more often than anybody else, usually in response to mainstream conservatives’ whining about liberals’ supposed double-standards. He pointed out numerous times that the supposed “double-standards” of liberalism were really just a single standard aimed at whites and white civilization.

I wonder how Jonah would feel if he were to learn of this? It makes me smile inwardly to imagine it.

It was Joseph Sobran who said it.
