Op-Ed Columnist – The Pragmatic Leviathan – NYTimes.com. Well put. Obama may appear humble, but in practice, is as arrogant as a liberal can get. He may have been elected by a healthy proportion of the electorate, but excuse me, he’s no philosopher king. Any time the government juggernaut gets too big for its breeches, and [...] Op-Ed Columnist – The Tel Aviv Cluster – NYTimes.com. No doubt about it, Israelis are some of the most mobile, creative and generally active people on earth. That said, a large proportion of them is apt to get out of Israel, at least for a good chunk of their lives. At the same time, very few, [...] Op-Ed Columnist – The God That Fails – NYTimes.com.

Brooks on the GOP’s need to get away from the vicious of creating shock jocks and pundits like Limbaugh, Hannity and Beck, and then believing the hype these fools create, claiming to represent the millions of wronged. He rightly shows that this pattern is what has brought [...] |

Op-Ed Columnist – Politics in the Age of Distrust – NYTimes.com.
Contrition isn’t a strong point for the high-and-mighty Democrats of 2009. They’re now speaking out of two sides of their collective mouth, on the one hand paying heed to the public’s disenchantment with their agenda, and on the other (see Obama’s faux-mea-culpa), pressing the old [...]
