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 Âmy 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 ÂÂ and they are right to believe this ÂÂ 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

Kind of hard to be bigoted against all Catholics - since I am Catholic ... I just called out the hypocrisy, and you don’t like it ... Tough Sheet.
Okay, sure you are, Donald.
Now, how would you like me to prove it?
Oh, I’m also a Fourth Degree in the KOC too ... Bet that will bust your brain.
How many Catholics voted for Obama? How many Catholic voted for him twice even? Speaking as a Catholic, I will tell you don’t try blowing smoke up my arse ...
I’ve been in the Church for 55 years and I know enough of the dark side to expose the hypocrisy you liberal Novus Ordo charlatans pull off. You don’t want to go there - trust me.
CBS national news salivated over this article.
Naaaaah. Kinda like how Donald Trump has flooded Freerepublic with paid far left trolls and astroturfers.
They should make Carson the Secretary of Sedation. ;-)
How much did the Bushes pay NR to sell out?
on behalf of Rich Lowry.. need I move on?
Mr. Jack Fowler...no one with half a brain and common sense is standing with you morons. You have destroyed “National Review” magazine, and only increased the support and votes that will go for Donald J. Trump!!! Lunatic....Glenn Beck....you gotta be kidding me!!! Nothing you cand orsaywillsav NR. What idiots!!!
I note that Jonah Goldberg is NOT on the cover. He's the one that wrote "Liberal Fascism."
Pissing athwart history whining "stop."
Straining out a Trump and swallowing an Obama.
Don't laugh. That's ALMOST as many as CNN has viewers.
And travelers aren't force fed NRO at airports...
To me, the look on his little cuckservative face, is saying,
"It *could* happen..."
That clenched smile just *screams* "weasel."

Speaking about support, Mr. Buckley recalled that about a week ago, at an affair celebrating the 50th anniversary of the National Review, he had divulged that the National Review had lost about $25 million over 50 years, or about $500,000 a year - “about the cost of one third of one torpedo” He said people who backed the enterprise volunteered money over the years: “Our dear donors and friends had a sort of genius for exactly estimating how much money we needed to survive,” because, Mr. Buckley said, they never gave one dollar more than was necessary. The National Review founder said it was correct to say the existence of that journal had affected the destiny of this country and would not have been possible without the help of Americans who understood that ideas have consequences.
I think this event will go down in history as the beginning of the end of the neoWhig Party.
Had to be Buckley. He's helping Trump write "Dog and Man Bite Yale".
