In a scathing rebuke, Conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly declared that the National Review does not represent “the authority on conservatism.”
President of Schlafly’s Eagle Forum, Ed Martin, predicted “National Review will be defunct in the next year or so.”
I guess it all comes down to what your definition of conservatism is.
the only true conservative I know is me.
and half the time my heart is too soft for my head.
yea, I know there are a lot of wanna be conservatives out there but I haven’t been convinced they really mean it.
including you phylllis old girl.
Phyllis Schlafly as usual is right in several senses of the word.
For all who wish there was a viable third party, Trump is establishing that third party right within the Republican party. The cruzers don’t like it, the died in the wool don’t like it, but the people do and the country needs it.
Sorry, that should be, the “died in the wool RINOS…”
Simply put, a “conservative” is one who wants to conserve what is best and most decent in America, and the World.
The problem is in the differences on what is “best” and “most decent.”
GOPe believes that plundering the Treasury for personal gain is “best” and that surrendering to the socialists is the “most decent” thing to do, so that they can continue to plunder the Treasury along with the socialists.
I’d bet real money that there were both “conservatives” and “liberals” who thought Chrysler’s K car line perfectly expressed their views. So all we have to do now is build from there.

I dropped my 10 years or so subscription to NR when Rich Lowry fired John Derbyshire for speaking what seemed to me to be plain ordinary truth. The Mark Steyn situation pretty much sealed my belief that it was the correct thing to do…
I never heard of NR till I came here. Should be RINO review.
