William Hagan’s political columns generally espouse a neoconservative world view.

His columns on Georgia Politics helped inspired the state’s new Sex Offender Law which is considered one of the toughest in the nation. The new law is facing constitutional challenges due to the draconian restrictions on alleged sex offenders. He also led the fight against seizers of land by federal and state governments from private individuals.

Many of Mr. Hagan’s columns deal with the subject of foreign policy. He has regularly written articles supporting Israel’s policies. His writings have been highly critical of a two state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This criticism has been extended to the alleged terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah. Mr. Hagan’s disdain for these groups became apparent while serving as Communication Director for Congressman Mac Collins. The Collins' campaign frequently criticized their opponent Democratic Congressman Jim Marshall for his belief that the United States should consider negotiating with the Palestinian group Hamas.

Mr. Hagan has also been critical of the Islamic religion. In one of his columns he implied that Islam was inspired by the Devil and was a violent religion bent on world domination. He has also written extensively on the persecution of Christians and Jews in nations such as Palestine, Iraq and Iran.

Mr. Hagan’s writings have also defended President George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq. However, he has implied that the United States has spent far too much time on nation building than successfully defeating the Iraqi insurgency.

Hagan has written that it his policy not to criticize United States military actions while troops are deployed. An example of this was his criticism of President Clinton’s invasion of Kosovo. Mr. Hagan only wrote on the subject years after the war between the United States and Serbia. In his coverage he uncovered a financial relationship KLA (Kosovo Liberation Army) and al Qaeda. Mr. Hagan made a compelling argument that President Clinton’s action was in reality not to stop genocide in Kosovo but simply a political move to distract attention from Clinton’s domestic problems resulting from his involvement with Monica Lewinsky. Mr. Hagan’s research demonstrated the KLA and al Qaeda were able to establish a foothold in southern Serbia and Albania as a result of Clinton’s invasion.

In addition to his writing on United States domestic and foreign policy, he regularly publishes articles in the United Kingdom defending the monarchy. His writings reveal that he is a supporter of the continuation of the monarchy in Britain after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II and is a strong supporter of Prince Charles.

Hagan is also the author of numerous short stories of a non-political nature. He is the former editor-in-chief of The Civilized Male literary magazine.
