Here's an example for your consideration: Ronald Reagan credited Buckley and National Review as saving the Republican party following the Goldwater defeat in 1964.
Additionally, a country-club Republican does not describe the many cultural stands that NR has taken from religion to abortion etc.
Just white shirts and ties I bet. What a bunch of morons they have now become. They have just done more damage with this stupid act of theirs than any good they have done.
