What Makes America Great? By DANIEL KRAUTHAMMER The rise of Donald Trump began a debate about the proper place of nationalism in American politics. A growing chorus on the political right, including even many who opposed his candidacy, has been praising the president’s "America First" agenda as a healthy restoration of nationalism and fleshing out an intellectual framework to fit his worldview. It is right to give his ideas serious and thoughtful examination, as it is to consider any ideas that seek to protect our country and unite its people. But there are good ways and bad ways to pursue these goals. | | The Tax Conundrum By JAMES PIERESON Whether it happens before or after health care reform—the White House has been sending mixed signals—President Trump has consist-ently promised "massive" tax cuts for the middle class and businesses. He told an interviewer a few weeks ago, "It will be the biggest tax cut since Reagan, and probably bigger than Reagan's." | | A Conservative Takes on Climate Change By STEVEN F. HAYWARD The contest for loneliest person on the right in Donald Trump's Washington would be hard fought among free traders, pro-immigration libertarians, neoconservative globalists, and fiscal hawks convinced of the necessity of entitlement reform. But none of these could possibly be as lonely as the conservative Republican who believes climate change is a serious threat that his party should make a priority. That person is Jay Faison. | Troubled Seoul By Ethan Epstein It was probably not the most traumatic moment of Park Geun-hye’s life. In 1974, after all, Park's mother, then the first lady of South Korea, was assassinated by a North Korea sympathizer in a crowded Seoul theater. Only five years later, her father, the long-ruling dictator Park Chung-hee, was offed by his own spy chief after a banquet in central Seoul. But Park Geun-hye's appearance at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office on March 21 was nonetheless a watershed moment for a woman who has spent most of her 65 years in and around the corridors of power. |
