Lowry should look in the mirror after what he’s done to NR.
I dumped my subscription to NR eight years ago when they went after Sarah Palin in much the same manner as they are after Trump today. I recall Lowry wrote an op-ed that basically said to those of us who didn’t appreciate the editorial tone, DLTDHYOTWO. I can take a hint.
I’m sorry to say that Bill Buckley also proved to be pretty much an elitist douche in the end. He refused to acknowledge the illegitimate child that his (inarguably a douche) son Christopher fathered. The Newport sailing and country club set has been riding us rubes for money and votes for decades. No more.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The Republican Party has zero interest in changing the leftward trajectory of this country. Hell, they have zero interest in being in the majority. They get all of the same perks by being in the minority (minus the offices with good views) without the responsibility and accountability of actually, you know, governing.
Time to bury them with the Whigs.
