Paul Jacob has been writing columns published every Sunday at Townhall.com since 2003. Over time, more and more of those columns will be archived here. Come back for more!
- The one-in-a-million problem (10/16/2011) — There’s something special about politicians. That’s why they should be made less special.
- Occupied America (10/09/2011) — Another upheaval of protest. Should it, too, be dismissed as “astroturf” and “partisan”?
- The Soulless Opposition (10/02/2011) — One problem with partisanship is surely the tendency to look at your opponents as the embodiment of pure evil.
- Think Longer (9/25/2011) — A republic is run by its people. Tell that to the folks in government.
