Now we are back to purely National Review subscribers.

The ones that you claim had to wait for Buckley to reveal that he was a fan of the Rush Limbaugh show before they would listen to the conservative talk show themselves, and then many years later had to wait for Buckley approval again, before they would watch a conservative alternative of CNN.

Well I have been reading National Review, probably longer than you unless you started in the 1960s also.

As a long time NR subscriber before they endorsed Romney in 2007, I just recently donated my hair to cancer patients.

I don’t know if you realize how diverse the conservative world is , and how diverse Buckley’s audience was, or how wrong you are about conservative reactions to Rush Limbaugh and Fox news.

So, by your account, the conservative world is diverse but, like proverbial mind-numbed robots, we all flocked to Rush and Fox News as soon as they appeared. And I suppose that you think Rush is wrong about how his father and many other conservatives did not "get" the appeal of his show, and that Buckley and NR's early support of him was important to the success of his show.

As it happens, I may well have subscribed to National Review before you did.
