	Joseph Sobran - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Joseph Sobran (born February 23, 1946, Michigan) is an American journalist and writer, formerly with National Review and currently a syndicated columnist.
		Sobran says Roman Catholic teachings are consistent with his opposition to abortion and the Iraq War.
		Sobran is the author of many books, including one about William Shakespeare, Alias Shakespeare: Solving the Greatest Literary Mystery of All Time (1997), where he endorses the Oxfordian theory that Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, was the true author of the plays usually attributed to William Shakespeare of Stratford-on-Avon.

	Joseph Sobran's Alias Shakespeare: A Selective Critique
		Sobran says that "it is fairly clear that the youth of the Sonnets is a nobleman," but actually this is not clear at all; it's just a nineteenth-century conjecture that became a tradition, and that is not very widely accepted today among Shakespeare scholars.
		Sobran dismisses the case for Pembroke on an astonishingly flimsy basis: he believes that the sonnets must have been written in the early 1590s, and that Pembroke (who was born in 1580) thus would have been too young to be the youth.
		Sobran's lack of scholarship arises not from any factual errors, but from his inability to look at evidence critically, his sneering unwillingness to use the methods which literary historians have used for centuries to settle questions of authorship, and the radical double standard which he applies to the evidence for Shakespeare and Oxford.

	Friends of Liberty - THE STRANGE CASE OF JOSEPH SOBRAN
		Sobran, like Pat Buchanan, is viewed as a sage by a rising generation of revisionists and unreconstructed Christian intellectuals, who look to him for traditional wisdom and unvarnished candor in otherwise crazy times.
		Sobran was drunk or medicated when he disseminated this monumental fraud, not fully cognizant of the impact it would have on his young and impressionable fans, so desperate for intellectual and spiritual direction in these times.
		Sobran knows yet he doesn't know; he is anointed of God yet he refuses to follow God completely, in all things, making compromises, as did King Saul, and like Saul, for that very reason he becomes a madman and an enemy of God.

	Shakespeare, Oxford, and Verbal Parallels
		Sobran seems to be unaware that lists of parallels such as he provides have long been looked at very skeptically in attribution studies, since writers in any era consciously or unconsciously influence each other and draw on common sources.
		Sobran is also impressed by "the classical myths both Oxford and Shakespeare refer to in similar phrases," seemingly unaware that these classical myths were intimately familiar to any educated Elizabethan, and that conventions and cliches abounded for referring to these myths in poetry.
		Sobran's seriously defective methodology could be used to "prove" that virtually any Elizabethan poet wrote Shakespeare's work, and the hubris with which he trumpets his results is embarrassing to anyone with a basic knowledge of the poetry of Shakespeare's contemporaries.

	Liberty - Freedom and the Wolves
		Sobran appears to have missed my point with regard to the so-called "reservations" of the "right to secede." Several people have argued that if there can be no conditional ratification, then the three states which (Sobran claims) passed such "conditional ratifications" must never have been in the union to begin with.
		Sobran's explanation, that the clause binds only those states that have not seceded, is essentially like saying that the law prohibits a person from doing an act, unless he chooses not to obey the law, whereupon the law cannot bind him, so his act is not illegal.
		Sobran inserts his final point, asking whether a child today is not enslaved to the state, for rhetorical purposes, to rile the tempers of libertarians who resent the current state of affairs.

		Sobran likes to comment on the manner by which Americans are easily fooled by the crocodile tears that defendants produce when they are put on the stand (for the purpose of receiving a lighter sentence) he certainly appears to be making good use of this tactic as well.

	Sobran calls for total surrender to illegal immigration (did he ever even oppose it?)
		I’ve followed Sobran for 25 years or so, and continue to read his column even though there are several issues on which I disagree with him strongly.
		Sobran hates Israel—he is personally bent out of shape about Israel—as much as anyone in the world except maybe the Palestinian terrorists and the president of Iran.
		Sobran went on in a forgettable way, praising Francis for his courage, but not saying much of anything.

	“I propose to fight it out on this line if it takes all summer
		In his article, Joseph Sobran makes valid arguments against one of these views, but his target is not the perspective which I have endorsed, and his arguments fall short of proving what he wants to prove.
		Although Sobran makes good points in attacking the soft spots in the strong-union view, this does not change the fact that the sovereignty of the union is independent of state sovereignty—it binds the whole people of America together as one people for certain purposes—and therefore that a state may not unilaterally secede.
		Sobran’s response to this is that “‘We the people of the United States’ ratified the Constitution as members of distinct states, not en masse by national referendum.” But Chief Justice John Marshall (who had been a delegate to the Virginia Ratification Convention) answered that in McColloch v.

	A Test of Sobran's Method
		Joseph Sobran’s Oxfordian tract Alias Shakespeare rests much of its case on the author’s self-proclaimed ability to detect resemblances between the phrasing of the Earl of Oxford's small corpus of undisputed poems and the works conventionally attributed to William Shakespeare.
		Sobran's methodology is entirely subjective: He looks into the clouds and sees the shapes that he wants to find.
		Sobran accompanies these texts with his lists of what he sees as Shakespearean parallels, of which he does indeed find hundreds.

	Joseph Sobran and Historical Revisionism

		Sobran writes a twice-weekly syndicated column that is distributed to about 70 newspapers in the United States.
		Sobran quoted from the Talmud to point out that, besides the legacy of Christian animosity toward Jews, there is also a little known but very real history of Jewish hostility against Christians.

	Amazon.com: Alias Shakespeare: Books: Joseph Sobran (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Sobran's book, though literate and entertaining, leaves huge gaps in its argumentation and ultimately presents a feeble, barely coherent case for the "Oxford was Shakespeare" position.
		Sobran's case to the contrary rests primarily on psychological speculation (mostly derived from a literalistic reading of the Sonnets that tries to convert poetry into autobiography, always a perilous endeavor).
		Sobran is less explicit than one would like, but he lays much stress on Oxford's alleged homosexual relationship with Henry Wriothesley (1573-1624), Earl of Southampton and dedicatee of Shakespeare's two long poems, "The Rape of Lucrece" and "Venus and Adonis".

		Sobran was not saying HE is "Artemus Ward." He used an old Artemus War quote about people justifying that OTHERS fight in a war of questionable necessity.

	Sobran joins the Rothbardians
		Joseph Sobran, once a leading conservative intellectual and now an obsessed critic of the state of Israel, has completed his intellectual journey by coming out as a Rothbardian anarchist.
		Sobran in his prime was a brilliant conservative writer and defender of constitutional government.
		Sobran sees the state with its monopoly on force as inherently evil, and (though this is so obviously an impossibility that it's not worth discussing) would apparently like to do away with it.

	ER - Sobran Review
		In this long promised book, Alias Shakespaeare, Joseph Sobran has succeeded in creating a most attractive arras, through which we are invited to run our rapier and skewer the persistent man from Stratford whom traditionalists conflate with William Shakespeare.
		Although Sobran himself regards traditional Shakespearean biographies to be "comically formulaic," his case for Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford follows many others in the attempt to first compromise the position of the Stratford Man (or, "Mr.
		Sobran mentions that his editors pruned much of what he had originally written (and we are all thankful at least he did not keep the working title of Outing Shakespeare), and it is true that many anti-Stratfordians are prolix to the point of asphyxiation.

	Memo on the Margin: Joe Sobran and the Neo-Cons ; 10-05-00
		I’ve been a fan of Sobran for years and we have exchanged notes occasionally.
		This time I thought I could take issue with him, mildly, as he took a mild poke at neo-conservatives for messing up the conservative purity of the Republican Party.
		He was prompted to do so after reading a New York Times article by Sam Tanenhaus, "When Left Turns Right, It Leaves the Middle Muddled." Tanenhaus, by the way, is not a NYT reporter, but a biographer, whose best work is a recent bio of Whittaker Chambers that I highly recommend.

		I believe Sobran meant that whoever the media and the powers-that-be call a "great" president would not be "great" because he would have abused political power at the expense of the most vulnerable in the country.
		If Sobran is trying to say that Reagan was the last president who understood what America was founded for, individual liberty, I agree.
		Sobran has long argued that Reagan was 'the best of his time' in ways, for example, Martin Luther King was not.

		As a fan of both Joseph Sobran and Richard John Neuhaus, it was distressing to me to read the latter upbraiding the former, allegedly for writing about the "sinister influence of Jews" (Neuhaus' phrase).
		But I do know that both Sobran and Neuhaus are valuable contributors to the cultural conversation, that both regularly have insights on a variety of subjects that I find nowhere else, and that somewhere there is an injunction against criticizing the mote in your brother's eye.
		Sobran has repeatedly and consistently criticized the ease with which the United States resorts to military force.
