National Review: Publisher ‘Broken Hearted’ Over Subscription Cancellations
Breitbart ^ | January22,2016

Posted on 01/22/2016 6:45:06 PM PST by Hojczyk

Last night, National Review published articles from twenty conservative intellectuals “Against Trump.” This afternoon, publisher Jack Fowler sent this letter to friends of the magazine:

Dear Friend,

Today is a big day for National Review. Our editors have made a very forceful defense of conservatism, of principle, and against the politics of attitude, in our editorial, Against Trump.

We have received angry calls, and cancel ­my­ subscription demands. One in particular broke my heart. Well, let’s hope time heals.

None of this was unexpected.

But: We have also received very strong expressions of support from many NR friends. People who believe ­­ and they are right to believe this ­­ that the main reason National Review exists is to do the very thing it is doing today.

Defending conservative principle. Defending it from being marginalized, or recast as emotion and bluster instead of as an expression of reason and intelligence.

On behalf of Rich Lowry and my colleagues, thank you for standing with us. Or, better, thanks for letting us stand alongside you as we embrace the Buckley mission: To stand athwart history, yelling stop.

Best,

Jack Fowler

Conservative intellectuals? More like establishment apparatchiks.

Spot on target ... but I was thinking more along the lines of “ready to turn Ten Miles Square to a pile of glowing molten glass.” That’s were the pointer of my rage meter is sitting about now.

I’d vote that poll - but then they require that you provide them with your e-mail address - and I certainly do not want my mailbox filled up with their elitist “intellectual” garbage.

1999? You know thats baloney! The phoney supported abortion as late as last fall. He would not push for defunding planned parenthood as we should be aware of their “good aspects”. He hired a pro-abortion activist for his campaign who wants to push for changes to the party platform. JUST SAY NO to Trump and this ghoul.

Total horse dung these tabloids are voices of/for conservatism.

Break them, their RINOs — break them all.

Zero?
Trump supporters are liberals. They don’t subscribe to National Review.

Too bad you forgot to post the hanging qualifiers;

“Does Stone still think it is a good idea for the Republicans to join the pro-abortion camp? More important, does Trump, who once was okay with partial-birth abortion, differ with his chief strategist on this issue? The public needs to know what Trump thinks about Republicans for Choice, the organization his top adviser co-founded.”

Funny how you did not make the attempt to answer those questions. Just preferred a drive-by hit, like an Italian job ...

Oh, that reminds me - about those Catholics in Italy ...

In your Catholic citation, you forgot to mention that the Marxist megalomaniac douche bag, who we now have occupying the Chair of Peter, is rather fond of rebuking Catholics for being “too obsessed” with abortion and sodomy ... I mean, after all, Popey Frankie did say “who am I to judge?”

And, of course, the same bunch - who filled the seminaries with pedophiles, pederasts and faggots, and then then paid massive sums from the Church coffers to silence the victims of corn-holing clerics - also held their SINod Against the Family ... Do you recall that grand embarrassment? The goal being to legitimize divorce and sodomy ... But Jorge was quite pissed that he got the former but not the latter.

Can you say HYPOCRITES?

Oh, and just to show you what a good little Catholic prince Popey Frankie is, here ya go:

http://www.ilgiornale.it/news/cronache/papa-bergoglio-scoppio-dira-e-malore-lettera-dei-cardinali-1182085.html

Since you probably do not speak Italian, here is the lowdown in English:

http://www.barnhardt.biz/2016/01/19/storytime-when-our-lord-and-savior-pope-francis-bergoglio-threw-a-raging-fit-so-bad-they-had-to-clear-out-the-luxury-hotel-he-lives-in/

Stick that in your offertory basket.

“Trump supporters are liberals. They don’t subscribe to National Review.”

Kinda like you don’t subscribe to lucid thought, eh?

While you are busy with your bigoted, venomous trashing of all Catholics, did you remember to wipe the spittle from you chin?
