Andrew Michael Sullivan (born 10 August 1963) is a British author, editor and blogger, resident in the United States. A former editor of The New Republic and the author or editor of six books, Sullivan is an influential blogger and commentator. He was a pioneer of the political blog, starting his in 2000. He eventually moved the blog to various publishing platforms, including Time, The Atlantic, and The Daily Beast and finally an independent subscription based format. He announced his retirement from blogging in 2015.

Sullivan's Burkean conservativism is rooted in his British Catholic background and in the political philosophy of his mentor, Michael Oakeshott.[1][2]

Born and raised in England, he has lived in the United States since 1984 and currently resides in Washington[3] and Provincetown, Massachusetts. He is openly gay and a practicing Roman Catholic.

Personal life

Sullivan was born in South Godstone, Surrey, England, into a Roman Catholic family of Irish descent,[4] and was brought up in the nearby town of East Grinstead, West Sussex. He was educated at Reigate Grammar School,[5] and studied at Magdalen College, Oxford, where he was awarded a first-class degree Bachelor of Arts in modern history and modern languages.[6] In his second year, he was elected President of the Oxford Union, holding the office in Trinity term 1983.

Sullivan earned a Master in Public Administration in 1986 from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University,[7] followed by a Doctor of Philosophy in government from Harvard in 1990, his dissertation on Intimations Pursued: The Voice of Practice in the Conversation of Michael Oakeshott.[8]

In 2001, it came to light that Sullivan had posted online anonymous advertisements for unprotected anal sex, preferably with "other HIV-positive men". This resulted in several instances of Sullivan being criticised in the media for this, and also for having criticised President Clinton's "incautious behavior" though others wrote in his defence.[9][10][11][12] Sullivan, in 2003, wrote a Salon article identifying himself as a member of the gay "bear community".[13] On 27 August 2007, Sullivan married Aaron Tone in Provincetown, Massachusetts.[14][15][16]

Sullivan had a long-expressed desire to become a US citizen, but was barred for many years from applying for citizenship because of his HIV-positive status.[17][18] Following the statutory and administrative repeals of the HIV immigration ban in 2008 and 2009, respectively, Sullivan announced his intention to begin the process of becoming a permanent US resident and citizen.[19][20] On the episode of The Chris Matthews Show of 16 April 2011, Sullivan confirmed that he is now a United States Permanent Resident, showing his United States Permanent Resident Card (aka Green Card).[21]

On 13 July 2009, Sullivan was ticketed within the Cape Cod National Seashore for possession of marijuana, but the case was dismissed the following month.[22] This led to US Magistrate Judge Robert B. Collings to accuse prosecutors of giving Sullivan preferential treatment.[23]

Career

In 1986, Sullivan began his career with The New Republic magazine, serving as its editor from 1991 to 1996.[6] In that position, he expanded the magazine from its traditional roots in political coverage to cultural issues and the politics surrounding them. During this time, the magazine produced some groundbreaking journalism and generated several high-profile controversies.[24]

While completing graduate work at Harvard in 1988, Sullivan published an attack in Spy magazine on Rhodes Scholars, "All Rhodes Lead Nowhere in Particular," which dismissed recipients of the scholarship as "hustling apple-polisher[s]", "high-profile losers", "the very best of the second-rate" and "misfits by the very virtue of their bland, eugenic perfection." "[T]he sad truth is that as a rule," Sullivan wrote, "Rhodies possess none of the charms of the aristocracy and all of the debilities: fecklessness, excessive concern that peasants be aware of their achievement, and a certain hemophilia of character."[25] Author Thomas Schaeper notes that "[i]ronically, Sullivan had first gone to the United States on a Harkness Fellowship, one of many scholarships spawned in emulation of the Rhodes program."[25]

In 1994, Sullivan published excerpts on race and intelligence from Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray's controversial The Bell Curve, which argued that some of the measured difference in IQ scores between racially defined groups was the result of genetic inheritance. Almost the entire editorial staff of the magazine threatened to resign if material that they considered racist was published.[24] To appease them, Sullivan included lengthy rebuttals from 19 writers and contributors. Sullivan has continued to speak approvingly of the research and arguments presented in The Bell Curve: "the book... still holds up as one of the most insightful and careful of the last decade. The fact of human inequality and the subtle and complex differences between various manifestations of being human—gay, straight, male, female, black, Asian—is a subject worth exploring, period."[26] According to Sullivan, this incident was a turning point in his relationship with the magazine; his relationship soured with much of the staff and management, which Sullivan concedes was already bad because he "was a lousy manager of people."[24] He left the magazine in 1996.

Sullivan began writing for The New York Times Magazine in 1998, but was fired by editor Adam Moss in 2002. Jack Shafer writes in Slate magazine that he asked Moss via e-mail to explain this decision, but that his e-mails went unanswered, adding that Sullivan was not fully forthcoming on the subject. Sullivan wrote on his blog that the decision had been taken by Times executive editor Howell Raines who found Sullivan's presence "uncomfortable", but defended Raines's right to sack him. Sullivan suggested that Raines had fired him in response to his criticism of the Times on his blog, and acknowledged that he had expected that his criticisms would eventually anger Raines.[27]

He currently serves as a columnist for The Sunday Times of London.[28]

Ross Douthat and Tyler Cowen have suggested that Sullivan is the most influential political writer of his generation, particularly because of his very early and strident support for gay marriage, his pioneering blog, support of the Iraq War, and subsequent support of Barack Obama's candidacy.[29] Mark Ames has charged that Sullivan lacks journalistic integrity and has been responsible for a number of unethical and misleading articles during his career as editor and writer.[30]

Politics

Sullivan describes himself as a conservative and is the author of The Conservative Soul. He has supported a number of traditional libertarian positions. He favours limited government and opposes interventionist measures such as affirmative action.[31] However, on a number of controversial public issues, including same-sex marriage, social security, progressive taxation, anti-discrimination law, Obamacare, the US government's use of torture, and capital punishment, he takes a position not typically shared by conservatives in the United States.[31] In July 2012 Sullivan said that "...the catastrophe of the Bush-Cheney years... all but exploded the logic of neoconservatism and its domestic partner-in-crime, supply-side economics."[32]

One of the most important intellectual and political influences on Sullivan is Michael Oakeshott.[2] Sullivan describes an Oakeshott's thought as, "an anti-ideology, a nonprogramme, a way of looking at the world whose most perfect expression might be called inactivism."[24] He argues, "that Oakeshott requires us to systematically discard programmes and ideologies and view each new situation sui generis. Change should only ever be incremental and evolutionary. Oakeshott viewed society as resembling language: it is learned gradually and without us really realising it, and it evolves unconsciously, and for ever."[24] In 1984 he wrote that Oakeshott offers "a conservatism which ends by affirming a radical liberalism."[24] This "anti-ideology" is perhaps the source of accusations that he "flip-flops" or changes his opinions to suit the whims of the moment. Of conservatism he has written, "a true conservative – who is, above all, an anti-ideologue – will often be attacked for alleged inconsistency, for changing positions, for promising change but not a radical break with the past, for pursuing two objectives – like liberty and authority, or change and continuity – that seem to all ideologues as completely contradictory."[33]

As a youth Sullivan was a fervent fan of Margaret Thatcher and later Ronald Reagan. He says of that time, "what really made me a right-winger was seeing the left use the state to impose egalitarianism—on my school",[24] after the Labour government tried to merge his school for bright children with the local comprehensive. At Oxford he became friends with future prominent conservatives, William Hague and Niall Ferguson and became involved with Conservative party politics.[24]

From 1980 through 2002 he supported the Republican presidential candidate in the United States.[24] In 2004, he supported John Kerry's presidential campaign after losing faith in George W. Bush after the Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse scandal and what he saw as incompetent management of the occupation of Iraq.[24]

Sullivan endorsed Senator Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination in the 2008 US Presidential Election, and Rep. Ron Paul for the Republican nomination. He eventually endorsed Obama for President largely because he believed that he would restore "the rule of law and Constitutional balance," as well as representing a more realistic prospect for "bringing America back to fiscal reason" and a hope that Obama would be able to "get us past the culture war."[34] He has continued to maintain that Obama is in fact the best choice for president from a conservative point of view. During the 2012 election campaign he wrote, "Against a radical right, reckless, populist insurgency, Obama is the conservative option, dealing with emergent problems with pragmatic calm and modest innovation. He seeks as a good Oakeshottian would to reform the country's policies in order to regain the country's past virtues. What could possibly be more conservative than that?"[35]

Sullivan has declared support for Arnold Schwarzenegger[36] and other like-minded Republicans.[37][38] He believes that the Republican party, and much of the conservative movement in the United States has largely abandoned its earlier scepticism and moderation in favour of a more fundamentalist certainty, both in religious and political terms.[39] This is the primary source of his alienation from the modern GOP.[40]

In January 2009, Forbes magazine, ranked Sullivan No. 19 on a list of "The 25 Most Influential Liberals in the U.S. Media".[41] Sullivan rejected the "liberal" label, and set out his grounds in a published article in response.[42]

LGBT issues

Sullivan, like Marshall Kirk, Hunter Madsen, and Bruce Bawer, has been described by Urvashi Vaid as a proponent of "legitimation," seeing the objective of the gay movement as being "mainstreaming gay and lesbian people" rather than "radical social change."[43] Sullivan wrote the first major article in the United States advocating for gay people to be given the right to marry[24] in New Republic in 1989.[44] Many gay rights organisations attacked him for the stance at the time. Many on "the gay left" believed that he was promoting "assimilation" into "straight culture" when the aim of most at that time was to alter the codes of sexuality and alter society as a whole, rather than fitting gays into it.[24] However, his arguments eventually became widely accepted and formed the basis of the modern movement to allow gay marriage.[44] In the wake of the Supreme Court rulings on gay marriage in 2013 (Hollingsworth v. Perry & United States v. Windsor), New York Times op-ed columnist Ross Douthat suggested that Sullivan might be the most influential political writer of his generation, writing "no intellectual that I can think of, writing on a fraught and controversial topic, has seen their once-crankish, outlandish-seeming idea become the conventional wisdom so quickly, and be instantantiated so rapidly in law and custom."[29]

Sullivan opposes hate crime laws, arguing that they undermine freedom of speech and equal protection.[45] He also opposes the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, arguing that it will, "not make much of a difference" and stated that the "gay rights establishment" was wrong to oppose a version of the bill that did not include gender identity.[46]

In 2006, Sullivan was named with online resources as an LGBT History Month Icon.[47]

War on terror

Sullivan supported the 2003 invasion of Iraq by the United States, and was initially hawkish in the war on terror, arguing that weakness would embolden terrorists. He was "one of the most militant"[24] supporters of the Bush counter-terrorism strategy immediately following the September 11 attacks in 2001. He wrote a controversial essay for The Sunday Times, in which he stated, "The middle part of the country—the great red zone that voted for Bush—is clearly ready for war. The decadent Left in its enclaves on the coasts is not dead—and may well mount what amounts to a fifth column."[48] Eric Alterman wrote in 2002 that Sullivan had "set himself up as a one-man House Un-American Activities Committee" running an "inquisition" to unmask "anti-war Democrats", "basing his argument less on the words these politicians speak than on the thoughts he knows them to be holding in secret."[49]

Later, Sullivan criticised the Bush administration for its prosecution of the wars, especially regarding the numbers of troops, protection of munitions, and treatment of prisoners including the use of torture against detainees in US custody.[50] Though Sullivan believes that enemy combatants in the war on terror should not be given status as prisoners of war because "terrorists are not soldiers,"[51] he believes that the US government must abide by the rules of war—in particular, Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions—when dealing with such detainees.[52] In retrospect, Sullivan says that the torture and abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq jolted him back to "sanity".[24] Of his early support for the invasion of Iraq he says, "I was terribly wrong. In the shock and trauma of 9/11, I forgot the principles of scepticism and doubt towards utopian schemes that I had learned."[24]

On 27 October 2006 edition of Real Time with Bill Maher, he described conservatives and Republicans who refused to admit they had been wrong to support the Iraq War as "cowards." On 26 February 2008 he wrote on his blog: "After 9/11, I was clearly blinded by fear of al Qaeda and deluded by the overwhelming military superiority of the US and the ease of democratic transitions in Eastern Europe into thinking we could simply fight our way to victory against Islamist terror. I wasn't alone. But I was surely wrong."[53] His reversal on the Iraq issue, and increasing attacks on the Bush administration caused a severe backlash from many other hawkish conservatives, who accused him of not being a "real" conservative.[24]

Sullivan authored an opinion piece featured as the cover article of the October 2009 edition of The Atlantic magazine ("Dear President Bush").[54] This piece called upon former President Bush to take personal responsibility for the incidents and practices of torture that occurred during his administration as part of the "War on Terror".

Israel

Sullivan states that he has "always been a Zionist".[55] However, in February 2009, Sullivan wrote that he could no longer take the neo-conservative position on Israel seriously:[56]

[N]eo-conservatism, in large part, is simply about enabling the most irredentist elements in Israel and sustaining a permanent war against anyone or any country who disagrees with the Israeli right [...] But America is not Israel. And once that distinction is made, much of the neoconservative ideology collapses.

In January 2010, Sullivan blogged that he is "moving toward" the idea of "a direct American military imposition" of a two state solution on Israel, with NATO troops enforcing "the borders of the new states of Palestine and Israel". He commented, "I too am sick of the Israelis [...] I'm sick of having a great power like the US being dictated to".[57] His post was criticised by Noah Pollak of Commentary, who referred to it as "crazy", "heady stuff" based on "hubris".[58]

In February 2010, Leon Wieseltier in The New Republic suggested that his former friend and colleague Sullivan had a "venomous hostility toward Israel and Jews", and was "either a bigot, or just moronically insensitive" towards the Jewish people.[59] Sullivan rejected the accusation, and was defended by some writers, while others at least partly supported Wieseltier.[60]

Iran

Sullivan devoted a significant amount of blog space to covering the allegations of fraud and related protests after the 2009 Iranian presidential election. Francis Wilkinson of The Week stated that Sullivan's "coverage—and that journalism term takes on new meaning here—of the uprising in Iran was nothing short of extraordinary. 'Revolutionary' might be a better word."[61]

Sullivan was inspired by the Iranian people's reactions to the election results and used his blog as a hub of information. Because of the media blackout in Iran, Iranian Twitter accounts were a large source of information. Sullivan frequently quoted and linked to Nico Pitney of The Huffington Post.[62]

Religion

Sullivan identifies himself as a faithful Catholic while disagreeing with some aspects of the Vatican's position. In Virtually Normal, he argues that the Bible forbids same-sex sexual activity only when it is linked to prostitution or pagan ritual.

His views led him to have concerns about the election of Pope Benedict XVI. In Time Magazine for 24 April 2005 in an article titled, "The Vicar of Orthodoxy", Sullivan stated his criticisms of the new pope.[63] He expressed his view that the pope was opposed to the modern world and women's rights, and deemed gays and lesbians to be innately disposed to evil. He has, however, agreed with Benedict's assertion that reason is an integral element of faith.

Sullivan takes a moderate approach to religion; as such he vocally rejects fundamentalism of any kind, and describes himself as a "dogged defender of pluralism and secularism". He defended religious moderates in a series of exchanges with atheist author Sam Harris in which Harris maintained that religious moderates provide cover for fundamentalists and make it impossible for anyone to effectively oppose them.[64]

Blogging

In late 2000, Sullivan began his blog, The Daily Dish. The core principles of Sullivan's blog have been the style of conservatism he views as traditional. This includes fiscal conservatism, limited government, and classic libertarianism on social issues. Sullivan opposes government involvement with respect to sexual and consensual matters between adults, such as the use of marijuana and prostitution. Sullivan believes recognition of same-sex marriage is a civil-rights issue but is willing to promote it on a state-by-state legislative federalism basis, rather than trying to judicially impose the change.[65] Most of Sullivan's disputes with other conservatives have been over social issues, such as these, and the handling of postwar Iraq. Sullivan gives out "awards" each year on various public statements that parody those of people the awards are named after. Throughout the year, "nominees" for these awards are mentioned in various blog posts. The readers of his blog vote the "winner" at the end of the year. These awards include:[66]

In February 2007, Sullivan took his blog from Time to the Atlantic Monthly magazine, where he had accepted an editorial post. His presence is estimated to have contributed as much as 30% of the subsequent traffic increase for Atlantic's website.[67]

In 2009, The Daily Dish won The 2008 Weblog Award for Best Blog.[68]

Sullivan left The Atlantic to begin blogging at The Daily Beast in April 2011.[69] In 2013, Sullivan announced that he was leaving The Daily Beast to launch The Daily Dish as a stand-alone website charging subscribers $20 a year.[70][71]

In a note posted on The Daily Dish on January 28, 2015, Sullivan announced his decision to retire from blogging.[72][73] He posted his final blog entry on February 6, 2015.[74]
