The radicals who perpetrated the Charlie Hebdo attack were not motivated by Western imperialism but by members of a free society violating Islamic law.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
American policymaking in the Islamic world must begin with a foundation of respect for Muslims, especially when they tell us about their faith.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
The lesson of the Scott Walker, Rick Perry, and Bobby Jindal failures is simple: You can't run a presidential campaign from the undercard stage.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
Jindal's record in Louisiana is controversial, in part because, in a state which has historically favored patronage culture and a bureaucracy that offered uninterrupted employment for those who backed the right horse, he aimed to destroy the old spoils system.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
A repeated problem with the Obama administration has been the lack of understanding that contracts only matter if they are enforceable - and if there is a party willing to do the enforcement.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
The world of campaign consulting is full of hype. It is designed to offer those desperate for an edge on their opponent the promise of a silver bullet and a consultancy willing to go to any lengths - including all those things you'd like to do but can't - in order to win.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
A smart, intellectual magazine is a difficult thing to run because of the need to manage conflicting personalities and opinionated writers who clash constantly, whose clashes make the publication better. It is exhausting and draining, and honestly, the only thing that's harder is probably running a university.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
Writers who do crap work believe they have turned in spun gold and all their little darlings must be defended.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
The firing of Kevin Williamson from 'The Atlantic' on the day he was set to give an opening Q&A in their offices was sadly unsurprising given the pattern of these types of hires.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
When contrarian voices are elevated to publications once viewed as places where contending ideas shared space, organized online backlash is now inevitable.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
Ordinary people in such positions - working at firms, companies, or chains - have the absolute right to have their voice in the public square.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
It used to be you could just write vaguely conservative things while running a Starbucks - now, you can't.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
There are consequences for just expressing generally conservative views. And if those views take on the more extreme dint, the judgment can be swift.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
Trump knows where his strengths exist, and he is emphatically in favor of doubling down on them. This goes far beyond appointing Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
The ongoing argument over whether the Enlightenment is a good thing is hardly a new facet of American political life.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
It is at best insufficient and at worst inaccurate to settle on a definition of the Enlightenment, for the obvious reason that there was not just one.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
Contemporary defenders of the Enlightenment shouldn't overgeneralize: the Enlightenment, however it is defined, is not an unalloyed good.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
Racist assumptions, ethnolinguistic assumptions of inferiority or superiority, are as old as mankind.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
The disturbing truth we have to recognize is that Bourdain is not alone in his loneliness and depression.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
Making a good meal for someone, even if it is nothing complicated, is an expression of love: it is an invitation to share, for one dinner at least, in our common humanity.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
It is a common thing for supporters of President Trump, even as early as when he was a candidate, to say, 'He fights.' And yes, he does fight. He fights everyone. He gets into all kinds of scraps that are pointless and unnecessary. He insults when he doesn't need to.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
Trump's supporters have taken over the Republican Party - not just because they like him but because they believe his approach to politics has been consistently vindicated.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
We saw a true wave election in 2010 for Republicans. There was no such repudiation offered by Resistance Democrats in 2018.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
In the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union, everyone in America assumed that there would be wars to follow - wars over the reunification of Germany, over the nations within the sphere of Soviet influence, and more. There weren't, because George H. W. Bush's policies and diplomacy prevented that.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
What can be said of George H. W. Bush beyond the personal accolades is that, as president, he was a man who did nothing by half measures. He was hands-on, engaged, and thought deeply and seriously about the purpose of the nation.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
Father John Misty imagines that he is a rebel. He is, but he does not realize what he is rebelling against.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
Father John Misty is rebelling not against repression or foolishness but the ephemeral nature of mankind. He seeks permanence in a fleeting age, and he does not find it because the one place he could find an answer, he considers closed off: a locked door.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
'The Federalist' is a small staff, and our close-knit family of senior contributors outwork our competition because of that closeness.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
To think that the heritage of the West, including post-war liberalism, was a selfish, secular, practical arrangement of politics is a fiction.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
Tolerance as practiced by the Christian, enlightened West was never about thinking that bad people are good but that we are all called to love the sinner and hate the sin.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
The human heart tends toward tribalism before tolerance. We can go back to that world. It still lives in all of us. Fighting it is the challenge, particularly at a time when the most audacious thing you can do is show some grace.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
Belief that your tribe is good and other tribes are evil is what everyone thought for most of human history.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
I grew up watching 'The Lone Ranger.' I would get up every Saturday morning, earlier than all the other kids, to watch a black and white western with Clayton Moore that hadn't filmed a new episode since 1957.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
The first time I watched 'The Magnificent Seven' on TV on a Sunday afternoon, I knew it was going to be a different kind of western.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
'Rogue One' does not feel like a 'Star Wars' movie. There are no scrolling yellow letters. There is no classic John Williams score. It feels like a movie of a different type set in the 'Star Wars' universe, a movie where there is no magic to save you. It is not a movie for children.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
For many Americans, 2016 will be remembered as a terrible year. It was a year in which the lack of faith in our institutions was laid bare.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
When Barack Obama arrived in Washington, many in the media welcomed him with optimism as a historic figure focused on progressive change. But their overwhelmingly favorable treatment of him ultimately turned Americans who disagreed with Obama's policies away from traditional media sources they came to distrust.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
Trump's rise was contingent on wide swaths of the country completely tuning out so-called mainstream media sources, while all too many outlets did a poor job covering 2016.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
Much of the media failed to anticipate the potential Trump represented as a disruptive populist force, understand why his supporters trusted him, or offer honest reporting on the underlying trends that made his rise possible.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
Engaging in a sycophantic way with any politician in the short term is tempting. It offers the lure of access and the promise of influence. But ultimately, it can lead to misreading the environment, giving too much of an ear to the politician's circle, and confining your audience to partisans.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
In a healthy republic, there is a need for figures who understand that the presidency is not the be-all and end-all of the people.
Quote by -Ben Domenech
It is unhealthy to live in an environment where every aspect of our culture requires a great sort, where creative talents are for some but not for all, and where performing for the president of the United States becomes a point of regular and significant controversy.
