Before we read any farther, is The Atlantic really a “prestigious main stream publication”?

These days yes because so many others have died or been reduced to website only. Plus big money backs up The Atlantic. Steve Jobs widow owns it and she's worth 11 billion.

"Jul 28, 2017 · Philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs, the widow of Apple founder Steve Jobs, is buying a majority stake in The Atlantic magazine."

Was Williamson gay? I never saw it mentioned in his writings, although I don’t follow him very closely.

The basic, unavoidable corruption that homosexuality imprints somewhere on all its practitioners’ character might explain some of his more shrill moments

I thought that he was - I just googled his name and I don't see anything turning up about it so perhaps I got that wrong or was thinking of someone else. Maybe someone can correct or corroborate what I wrote.

He probably got a boat load of money to move to The Atlantic, and now he will get a bigger boatload of money when he sues/settles his firing.

Isn't Williamson the Never Trumper who wrote vituperative articles in National Review about the degeneracy of the white working class people in flyover country...

Yes, yes he is. And he ran off to the Atlantic so he could be another the kept conservative of the liberal elite (and yes Ross, I'm talking about you). Sadly for Kevin, his new masters put him down as a rabid dog before he could show them what a good housebroken boy he could be.

The Atlantic does have some excellent and thoughtful articles, but at the end of the day they always return to their crazy leftist roots.

>>>Kevin was leading the mob to kill middle Americans in poor towns throughout the midwest & south.

Do you mean something along the lines of this?

“And I’m going to start explaining to people when you have an area that just isn’t working – like upper New York state, where people are getting very badly hurt – and then you’ll have another area 500 miles away where you can’t – you can’t get people, I’m going to explain you can leave, it’s OK, don’t worry about your house.” - DJT, July 26, 2017

I’ve seen you post this same quote month after month over & over again....get more creative you never trump bore. If that’s all you have to offer FR you’re wasting everyone’s time out here with your repetitive nonsense.

“Money can’t buy me love” isn’t just cliche’.

I would never willingly work in an environment where I would be subjected to stress, let alone move to another job as such for a pay boost. I’d rather live out of my car than deal with a$$hats. I, too, am perplexed why he made such a move unless it was a calculated publicity stunt.

If so, he forgot his sarc tag.

There’s a lesson in thar...

Kevin D Williamson Is Gay? Ain’t That A Victory For Classical Liberalism?

Thanks so much for finding this. I couldn’t find any reference to his sex preference from Google.

Explains his waspish anger and appreciation of Les Miz.

What’s wrong with that quote? it was kindly meant unlike the bitchy Williamson’s remarks.
