Robert Locke

Robert Locke is a former editor for "FrontPage Magazine". A conservative American nationalist, he is critical of liberals, libertarians, and some "compassionate conservatives", including George W. Bush. He is an admirer of conservative scholar Leo Strauss (although, as a self-proclaimed agnostic, he is critical of Strauss' atheism), architect Robert A.M. Stern, and photorealist painter Richard Estes. Many of his writings are archived at [http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/authors.asp?ID=6 FrontPage Magazine] .

Locke has attended both Columbia University and University of Chicago; he maintains membership in a conservative alumni organization of the former. He currently resides in New York City, New York.

Controversies

In the January 21st, 2003, issue of Manhattan weekly NY Press, FrontPage Magazine editor David Horowitz publicly disassociated himself from Locke, stating that certain published e-mails written by Locke as a representative of his publication held views that "do not reflect mine in any way, shape or fashion." Locke wrote two articles for The American Conservative, a paleoconservative magazine for which Scott McConnell is one of the three editors. McConnell dismissed Locke after reading that Locke wrote on VDARE.com an article calling for the expulsion of the Palestinians from all of Israel.
