His publications and quotes like "democracy, immigration, multiculturalism… pick any two",^[2] popularising the idea of Anglospheric exceptionalism in a similar vein as Mark Steyn, have been called misleading by some libertarian writers.^[3] He was a columnist for United Press International 2000-3, with a weekly piece The Anglosphere Beat; he has propagated the idea of the Anglosphere as significant, as of 2004^[update], in world affairs and alignments.

He is co-founder and current President of the Anglosphere Institute of Alexandria, Virginia.
