First off, there is a difference, if not a huge one, between NR and NR Online. I've been a subscriber to the magazine for years. It is the true NR; the online version is much more casual.

It's probably true that Goldberg does not have the intellectual candlepower of many of the print version's heavyweight contributors, but I would suspect most of you have never read the print version. After all, it costs money and the writing is college-level, which would turn away many of you losers who seemingly can't even spell.

But what is really a laugh is seeing some of you nincompoops criticize what is simply the most intelligent and reliably conservative magazine in the country simply for having standards. Absolutely no one with any brain in their head would call NR "Neo-Marxist." That's akin to calling black white. It's nonsense.

Unlike this site, NR is not a place where just any old right-wing screed is welcome. I've enjoyed Coulter's writing from time to time too, but I'm not going to defend the idiotic things she wrote just because she's good-looking.

They hired Jonah Goldberg as an editor. That says everything about the standards NR wants to maintain. On-line, off-line, doesn't matter. Their name is at stake.
