I pick VICTOR DAVIS HANSON.
Appreciate the work you have done for us!
I think Sowell has had more influence on me than any other columnist.
Great list since I’m not familiar with some on the list. Thomas Sowell definitely number one in my book. Walt Williams too. Exspressing my views to a “T” is Newt, and I know I’m going to get a ton of replies on this, but I consider Charles K a conservative and an excellent writer on on just about all subjects he’s spot on.
I’m reading Ann C again after an almost 2 year hiatus as a result of her pre menopausal inFATuation with the FATSO from the Northeast.
I’m for one thing only, taking back the Senate and the Presidency. Therefore I favor running the conservative candidate who is most electable.
Nice try. You only missed it by a MILE!!!!!
Steyn and Greenfield stand in a class all their own.
No.
#1 Sowell
#2 Steyn
:)
Dr. Sowell is number 1 of course.
Mark Steyn ping. Notice he is number 5 on the list above. If you click on his name, you get in part:
“5. Mark Steyn
So just how magical is pretty writing? Even if people dont like something about what youre saying you can seduce them into reading anyway.
Confession: of the 10 columnists on this list Steyn is probably the one Ive resisted the most over the years and read the least. Why? Its nothing against him personally, Im just already overdosed on his style of Gen-X-leaning Boomer doom and gloom.
I hear enough worries and arguments about approaching armageddon coming from colleagues that do I really need to spend 436 pages of After America to hear about how were all gonna die? (As much as Im happy to borrow many of the musical and cultural stylings of the generation younger than my parents and a decade or two older than me, I draw the line at indulging in their apocalypticism.)
That was my thinking on him for a number of years but Im over it now that Ive spent more time reading Steyns work closely and seeing that its not just Chicken Little-ism. So all of Steyns books go onto the 2014 to-read agenda, finally.”

or above for the rest. Steyn is way under rated on this list in my view, but different people have different views.
Freepmail me, if you want on or off the Mark Steyn ping list.
I don’t see how he could have left off Daniel Greenfield. I put Steyn and Greenfield at #1 and #2 respectively.
