• Important Political Video: The Scorpions, “No One Like You”

  
  The Awl — Authority: 706
  There is a Scorpions song that should probably be posted today to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. It’s called “ Wind of Change .” It’s basically about the fall of the Berlin Wall. (The Scorpions are from Germany, you know.) The video has lots of news-style footage of very ...

• Reihan Salam is too young for this re-inventing conservatism gig

  
  The Other McCain — Authority: 753
  The fact that he co-authored a book with Ross Douthat -- with the ridiculously pretentious subtitle "How Republicans Can Win the Working Class and Save the American Dream" -- would easily suffice to make me skeptical of Reihan Salams judgment, even if he were 45. That he is both (a) a Harvard grad, and (b) only 29, ...

  No More Mister Nice Blog — Authority: 663
  Hoffman is Howard Dean? Thus spake Ross Douthat today on Tom Ashbrooks show on NPR. I think Douthats store of Christmas miracles has already been exhausted by the fact that Ashbrook didnt introduce him as "The New York Times Most Noted Sex Advice Columnist (After David Brooks...)" but be that as it may. Douthat ...

• True religion

  
  Jeune Street — Authority: 118
  Ross Douthat can always be counted on to provide an insightful and thoroughly Catholic insight into vexing moral and religious issues. His review of Karen Armstrong’s The Case for God is no different. After lauding Armstrong’s book for most of the review, he ends with putting finger on the weakness of what he ...

• NY Times op-ed celebrates third parties

  
  Independent Political Report — Authority: 560
  Thanks to Ballot Access News for the tip. (excerpt from) The NY Times Three’s Company Ross Douthat / November 1, 2009 [Re: candidates Chris Daggett in NJ and Doug Hoffman in NY] …But both men deserve the public’s gratitude. They’ve injected real substance into their races, and they’ve given ...

• Ignoring Duverge’s Law

  
  Voting While Intoxicated — Authority: 131
  Ross Douthat spends an entire column valorizing the effect of third parties on the political system without addressing the primary reason we do not have them. In political science, we have what is known as Duvergé’s Law. It is not a real law by scientific standards, but it is about as close as political science ...

• Western Way of Reason

  
  The NonSequitur — Authority: 121
  Culture Warrior Ross Douthat, columnist at the New York Times, opines on the coming religious war:But in making the opening to Anglicanism, Benedict also may have a deeper conflict in mind — not the parochial Western struggle between conservative and liberal believers, but Christianity’s global encounter with a ...

• against the wind

  
  The League of Ordinary Gentlemen — Authority: 683
  L et me just say that I am overwhelmingly sympathetic to what Conor and Rod are saying regarding the punditocracy on the right and the futility of engaging the base.  In other words, I go against my own instincts in my disagreement with them.  I go against the grain of my own visceral reaction to the nonsense ...

• Ross Douthat Awaits the Conflict with Foe Islam

  
  Bloc Raisonneur — Authority: 127
  Is New York Times columnist Ross Douthat calling for religious war? Well, no. But he is spoiling for a fight of sorts, and he might also be adding a dose of refreshing honesty to the interfaith discussion. The liberal blogosphere is rightly upset with Mr. Douthats column today, in which he lauds Pope Benedicts ...

• Douthat calls for open religious warfare; thousands perish in ensuing Crusade

  
  The League of Ordinary Gentlemen — Authority: 683
  I am, frankly, taken aback by some of the reactions to Ross Douthat’s latest column , which makes the commonsensical observation that wavering Anglicans may find the Pope’s combative approach to Islam more attractive than their own church’s more conciliatory policy. Adam Serwer, for example, uses the column ...

• Strategic angle of the Vaticans ecumenical move

  
  Est Quod Est — Authority: 134
  I liked this Douthat piece very much. Excerpt:Here Catholicism and Anglicanism share two fronts. In Europe, both are weakened players, caught between a secular majority and an expanding Muslim population. In Africa, increasingly the real heart of the Anglican Communion, both are facing an entrenched Islamic presence ...

  The Private Intellectual — Authority: 123
  Angels, Englishmen, and Ross Douthat Back in the days before the Reformation, England was a hotbed of theological experimentation and lay piety. At times this took the form of rendering parts of the Scriptures into English. The Roman hierarchy, naturally, took exception to this practice, with one polemicist even ...

• If Obama and Cong. Democrats pass a health care bill will it solve our health problems? Douthat says will merely kick problem down the street.

  
  Minnesota Family Council — Authority: 422
  Are the problems with our nations health care system going to be resolved if Obamacare is passed with or without a public option? It may reduce the number of people who dont have health insurance but it wont resolve the under cost problems driving premiums upward. In other words, it will give the appearance of a ...

• Reform Conservatism, Not Conservatives

  
  The League of Ordinary Gentlemen — Authority: 683
  I t’s clear to me that Conor and to a lesser extent Rod don’t understand what Jamelle, Freddie, E.D., and myself have been driving at in our various critiques of reform-minded conservatism.  Conor’s misunderstanding is made apparent in this statement from his interview with Scott : Perhaps we’re ...

  OutGayLife.com — Authority: 156
  Place a conservative commentator on the spot, and youre likely to get them to say the darndest things. Case in point, NY Times conservative columnist Ross Douthat was a featured speaker at an n+1 panel in New York last night, and he was asked about the issue of gay marriage. His reaction? Conservative opposition to ...

  Gawker — Authority: 871
  In your woebegone Wednesday media column: Rumors of more Conde Nast layoffs at Architectural Digest and the research department, ideas for BusinessWeek s future, Ross Douthat is insecure, and the Weather Channel grows ever more awesome.

• Mining Right Wing Critiques for Some Honesty

  
  2parse — Authority: 129
  I’ve gotten tired of being outraged at every self-serving lie and every new line crossed and picking apart idiotic arguments by right wingers. This served some purpose during the campaign – and I believe it is important to do when disinformation campaigns are being waged (as during August of the health care ...

• Ross Douthat Strikes Back

  
  The League of Ordinary Gentlemen — Authority: 683
  I know he’s taken quite a beating around these parts , but I really liked Ross Douthat’s latest column , which endorses the same Singapore-style approach to health insurance that E.D. championed earlier (Is there any doubt that important New York Times columnists read the League?). A lot of what Douthat ...
