“Every organization that is not consciously Conservative becomes Liberal over time.”
Our Founders knew that, as do the cultural Marxist agents among us.
(He used “liberal” in its Newspeak form.)
An analogy: Every person that is not health-conscious becomes unhealthy over time.
Re: He used “liberal” in its Newspeak form.
Curiously, O’Sullivan was an Englishman and a former speech writer for Margaret Thatcher, so he grew up and was educated to use “Liberal” in the 19th Century European sense of that word.
He consciously adjusted to American usage when he wrote O’Sullivan’s law in the late 1980s, when he became NR’s editor.
At the time, he was thinking more about giant philanthropic organizations like the Ford Foundation and universities with huge endowments and life time tenure.
