Real Clear Politics ^ | January 22, 2016 | Staff

Washington Times and Breitbart columnist Charles Hurt reacts to the the cover story of this week's National Review: Conservatives Against Trump.

The story features conservatives of various stripes (including Glenn Beck, Thomas Sowell, and Brent Bozell) explaining why Donald Trump's "shoot-from-the-hip, bombastic showoff" personality is the "last thing we need as president."

"yup, NR never attacked W for pimping amnesty. Or McConnell, Boehner, or Ryan!"

Amnesty, Free Trade, open borders, endless wars and debt ARE conservatism as defined by Conservative Orthodoxy.

And it's not American First.

National Review was a big supporter of Paul Ryan for speaker and takes about his budget bravery. They are just the people I want telling me what to believe.

“He refused to talk to Laura Ingraham this morning and apparently got nasty with her on the phone. That’s what she reported!”

Who he? Lowry?

This is absolutely farkin beautiful. Trump is outing every rino bed-wetter in print, TV or radio.

There’s only a few left in talk radio that have any credibility left.

HE apparently missed it. The entire conservative movement has been outraged over that.

BTW, Donald Trump is one of those people. He supported the TARP bailout for the Big Banks (not surprising, since he’s a director of Goldman Sachs) and he’s promoting the equivalent of touchback amnesty, as well as talking about “giving them a path.”

Establishment politician to the core.

They’ve got the old Inside the Beltway bluuuuuuuuuuuuuues

Here's the first part of Jonah Goldberg's piece at his National Review The Goldberg File e-mail:

National Review’s “Against Trump” editorial and symposium came out last night and the fecal matter hit the rotor blades.

That’s a bad turn of phrase, since we’re neither sh** nor fan. We’re more like a lighthouse amidst the crap-storm, or at least we try to be.

This seems lost on a lot of people these days. I keep hearing from folks who seem to think that if Donald Trump is popular or the front-runner, then National Review -- and yours truly -- must bow to the popular will. Get with the program, they say. See the writing on the wall. Get out in front of this.

Instead, we went a different way, and the brickbats are flying in. We’ve disgraced ourselves, they insist. We’ve gone and read ourselves out of the conservative movement. Betrayed William F. Buckley.

And that’s the calm and reasonable stuff. If say, you, offered some of the tantrums I’ve received in person instead of via e-mail and Twitter, the only reasonable response would be to call for the orderlies and ask how you slipped out of your restraints.

So before we get into it, let me just say up front that rather than this being a low point or an epic fail or a betrayal, this is in fact one of National Review’s finest moments. If it costs us subscribers, or readers, or advertisers (all of which I doubt), so be it. What is it the Marines say? “Pain is weakness leaving the body.” Well, such losses to National Review would be like dross being skimmed off freshly forged steel. [Emphasis added.]

It continues, but the thrust (albeit in many more words) is We are right and those who disagree are stupid.
