Nolte: National Review Executive Editor Attacks Oliver Anthony…. (Rich Men North of Richmond)

An everyday man comes out of rural Virginia with a folk song empathetic to the working class, and the executive editor of National Review is triggered into attacking him and the song.

This establishment elite is so above it all he dissects “Rich Men North of Richmond” lyric by lyric. Honestly, the best way to read these excerpts is in the voice of Thurston Howell III:

“Yes — it is a damn shame what the world’s gotten to. But we can fix it. We don’t have to just dream about it.Indeed, if we want to, we can fix it on our own even if Washington is standing in our way or looking down its nose at us,” lovey.

Well I didn't!

We sang GOD BLESS AMERICA, MY COUNTRY TIS OF THEE, THE NATIONAL ANTHEM, TREES, WELCOME SWEET SPRINGTIME,LET MY PEOPLE GO, SHE'LL BE COMIN' ROUND THE MOUNTAIN, OLD FOLKS AT HOME, and a lot of other such songs when I was in grammar school.hehehehehehehe

Buckley started out as a bright traditional Catholic conservative intellectual, but wound up becomming a founding member of the swamp. NR is now a failing swamp-rag.

Castles made of sand.

“Douch pirate.”

That makes no sense whatsoever... but I’m stealing it - and will probably use it here.

[Albion Wilde]

O my gosh, I laughed so hard tears streamed out of my eyes, to the very last line! My next door neighbor probably thinks I’m possessed, I howled so loud!

[FLT-bird]

National Review is just an effete establishment rag hardly anybody reads anymore. They might as well make George Will the editor.

[military cop]

It seemed more appropriate than the swearologist rant that came to me initially.

[Aevery_Freeman]

The instigators - political zit-poppers!

[Albion Wilde]

2764 comments. Many of them also sharply disdainful of the wicked leftists.

[Albion Wilde]

those living in rural parts of America often “feel threatened economically, culturally, socially” because “they have no contact with the expert class.”

That's a feature, not a bug.

[Albion Wilde]

Current Democrats have excluded the majority of the country from their party (except those who are willing to kiss the ring of their masters).

Including the ring on their other end.

[Albion Wilde]

Nice of them to put their names on the cover. Makes a handy reference.

It's worth noting that Glenn Beck, Brent Bozell and Thomas Sowell have all renounced their denunciations in that NR issue; while not great fans of Trump's personality, they have given him credit for his accomplishments.

I’m not welcome at BB

Pollack and Marlow zotted me

They can be too neocon for my tastes and I told them

Zap

[wardaddy]

Cause they have to

Like Levin too

[sarge83]

That is essentially the GOP establishment as well. They are every bit as leftist as the Democrats, they just want their taxes lowered is the only difference. National Embarrassment hardly speaks for conservatives anymore, they are a Republican propaganda rag.

[Pelham]

I’d say that Thomas Sowell and Brent Bozell are honorable men who wouldn’t be pretending to change their view of Trump just to curry favor.

Levin and Beck are a whole different matter. Those two could feel the cold wind of their audience disappearing. They know what happened to Salem Radio’s RNC stooges Michael Medved and Hugh Hewitt.

Thank God for small favors!

I noticed that.
Wright, the author, tooks some well earned scathing comments for his elitest douchebaggery.
