Paul Ibrahim

Paul Ibrahim was born near Beirut, Lebanon. He became a U.S. citizen in the summer of 2005, but had long before expressed his love of American values through extensive writing, work, and activism. Once detached from political activity, he was inadvertently launched into the conservative intellectual movement as a student at Cornell University, and has since refined his libertarian tendencies at the Law & Economics haven of the George Mason University School of Law.

 

Ibrahim has worked on executive and congressional issues with the federal government, assisted in foreign policy research at the American Enterprise Institute, a premier think tank, and spent time with the editorial page of USA Today. He currently sits on the Board of Directors of the Ivy League Republican Caucus, of which he is also a co-founder.

 

Ibrahim's writing career began at Cornell University, first with the Cornell Review, then with the Cornell Daily Sun and Young America's Foundation. He has since become one of the youngest syndicated columnists in the country, and has appeared on a number of radio and television shows. His work has been published in newspapers from coast to coast, and has been cited by a number of commentators, such as Rush Limbaugh. Ibrahim currently resides in the Washington D.C. area.
