Perturbed by their failure to truncate the Trump campaign, National Review is now doubling down in a coming issue with a truly toxic article (behind a pay wall) by roving editor, Kevin D. Williamson.
Williamson apparently thinks blue-collar workers whose lives get turned upside down when their jobs disappear due to economic downturns or their manufacturing jobs getting shipped offshore or their mines closing due to new more restrictive government regulation, are all a bunch of worthless bums and crybabies who should just load up the pickup and become the new Okies.
I'd give up Mexican food for a year to see him stand on one of the dozens of idle drilling platforms and try to read that piece to a crowd of long-unemployed oilfield workers. Here are a few of Kevin's insulting words:
The truth about these dysfunctional, downscale communities is that they deserve to die. Economically, they are negative assets. Morally, they are indefensible. Forget all your cheap, theatrical Bruce Springsteen crap. Forget your sanctimony about struggling Rust Belt factory towns and your conspiracy theories about the wily Orientals stealing our jobs. The white American underclass is in thrall to a vicious, selfish culture whose main products are misery and used heroin needles. Donald Trump's speeches make them feel good. So does OxyContin. What they need isn't analgesics, literal or political. They need real opportunity, which means that they need real change, which means that they need U-Haul.
Did you folks out there in Odessa and all the other oil patch communities get that? This conservative elitist says your town deserves to die. And that's just a sample of the toxic rot in the lengthy article.

RNC Chief Strategist, Sean Spicer on CNN just said that he’s very sure that the nominee will be one of the three still in the field.
Oops, wrong thread, sorry.
I think they’re planning Kasich.
Well. Thank you National Review. I was wavering until February 15th. Then your trash issue came out and opened my eyes wide. You sealed the deal for me back then. I guess they want to clean up with this one. Go Trump.
NR = Not Relevant
I now fully understand the basis of the so-called Democrat/Republican divide: The Dems take out the minorities, while the Pubs take down the whites.
We know that Democrats have spent decades telling blacks that the poison they prescribe them is a cure. Now I see that the Republicans have been poisoning the whites, with supposedly pro-growth economic policies that in practice destroy the white working and middle classes. It has simply taken the Republicans longer to achieve their goals because white society had a much healthier foundation than minority societies, especially black society, did. That foundation included a Republican party that needed infiltration. It has taken a couple more generations but the uniparty is very close to their goals now.
It’s a very frightening, tenuous time. We have overslept the alarm. Wake up!!!
Awesome job on #9, mkjessup!
Try again, losers.
Worthless people trying to stay on an extremely bloated high-paying gravy train.
Ouch!
That is exactly what these freetraitors think of Americans - social Darwinians applied to the global scale. Since they live well as paid agents for the Establishment they don't care about the end results of their globalist policies on other Americans.
Kasich is a democrat for God’s sake. CHrissy Matthews was event alking last night if Hillary chose Kasich it’s over. Kasich won hi home state and will win nothing else
Just goes to show what an awesome brain trust we have in the GOPe.
