I understand problems in American culture. I just don’t see the white middle-class causing it. It’s more a combination of them getting squeezed in by Hollywood sleaze, corrupt government and the black lumpen proletariat and criminal class.

We used to be able to expect more from NR and the right side punditry. The NR screed in question is intellectually dishonest, morally myopic and generally contemptible.

To be honest, I was never a great fan of NR. We had it in our house as kids and I never got into it. I always thought it was elitist. When I got older I preferred the American Spectator. I was also a fan of the New Republic which in the 80s was fairly conservative. Martin Peretz, I think, was the editor. Did a great cover story on slob Teddie with an accompanying caricature.
