My Take
Jonah Goldberg interests me as a public arguer in an age that prefers slogans. Founding National Review Online and later The Dispatch, writing books with deliberately provocative titles, he is the kind of commentator who courts disagreement rather than avoiding it. You don't have to share his conservative politics to appreciate that he keeps making arguments in long form, where they can actually be tested. I value writers who stake out a position and defend it in public, taking the heat that comes with it. Whatever your verdict on his conclusions, his willingness to keep building independent outlets earns my attention.
