Greatest political writers

The greatest political writers are those who excelled at the intersection of writing and politics, often having influence as a result. Their world is one of non-fiction rather than novels. Many great politicians do not make this list because they do not write much on their own, while many great writers eschewed politics. These writers can be conservative, liberal, or libertarian, but they must have written about politics rather than merely philosophy:

M. Stanton Evans Phyllis Schlafly Pat Buchanan Charles Krauthammer George Will Samuel Francis Michelle Malkin John Stossel William F. Buckley, Jr. Joseph Farah Mike Royko

Robert Novak Tom Roeser Ann Coulter Dr. Ron Paul Thomas Sowell L. Brent Bozell, Jr. Walter E. Williams William Safire Russell Kirk Thomas Paine Paul Craig Roberts
