Let us now praise Barack Obama.
John Podhoretz
Obama's coalition would have consigned him to the political margins as little as 12 years ago, but the nation's demographic changes are moving far more quickly than most Republicans anticipated.

For the record, I am not an admitted homosexual, nor am I a homosexual, though I do know the lyrics to every show tune ever written, which might perhaps account for the confusion.
John Podhoretz
I've worked as someone's deputy, and now it's time for me to run something. It's time for me to run my own shop.

I don't feel alienated from American culture, but I understand people who do.
John Podhoretz
America is great not because it's a team. America is great because it is a nation whose founding documents elevated the rights of the individual.

The real story of the Ground Zero mosque is that the project only became feasible because of the appalling and astonishing fecklessness of the officials who were charged with the reconstruction of the site and the neighborhood all the way back in 2001.
John Podhoretz
This has always been the way of presidential politics. The president rises above the fray while his surrogates go on the attack. They throw the spears and fling the mud he sits upon the throne.
