” How deluded can you get? It’s not 1978, Rich. Nobody takes NR seriously anymore. I read takimag all the time. I occasionally read NRO, usually to make fun of them. They’ve devolved into the print version of Sean Hannity.”

I started reading NR in 1968 at age 14. It was a great magazine back then....Brookiser, Muggerige, Kirk, and
the inimitable Bill. Those were the days.....LONG gone!

I feel sorry for a lot of FReepers who became “conservative” in the last decade or so. They never knew what it was like to LEARN something from conservative sources that won't fit on a bumper sticker. Remember how excited we were when the new NR came to our mailbox?

Buckley was not blameless. He was always quite comfortable in high society and made his reputation by purging and sliming the unfashionable. The pathetic wuss, Lowry is trying to do the same.

Lowry bought himself a lot more guest spots as a “respectable” conservative on cable news and NPR. At the cost of his soul. Screw him.

Does ANYONE still pay for the print version of NR?
