I am looking for recommendations for interesting and well written conservative publications. Not ones that regurgitate each other but new cutting edge thinking.

I need to spice up my bedtime reading.

[Bosco]

National Review, The American Spectator. I used to subscribe to Conservative Chronicles. Limbaugh Letter.

[Chickensoup]

Conservative Chronicles. Limbaugh Letter

Why did you stop?

[Argus]

I like CITY JOURNAL and frontpagemag.com.

Human Events

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Free Republic Monthly. July issue will be on the newsstands.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

I like "Imprimis" from Hillsdale College.

Go to their website and subscribe. It's free. Or just read it online.

[Chickensoup]

Does City Journal have a paper version? I am looking for something to read when the computer is turned off.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

I was just joking. But it would be nice if FR published a monthly magazine.

[Bosco]

Conservative Chronicles - stopped because I couldn't keep up with the reading necessary, and the internet now fulfills the need nicely. The hardcopy just turned into clutter.

[mtbopfuyn]

Nightime spice and reading doesn't compute.

[MrCruncher]

Accuracy in Media is good.

Yeah I believe they have a newsstand edition. But I just print out what I want to read online and staple it together to peruse later. My own "stack of stuff".

[bruinbirdman]

You need look no further than FR.

But you might want to peruse this site:

It is about all the spice I get.

I like World magazine. It is a weekly magazine (along the lines of Time), with a Christian worldview.

Behave yourself.

[TonyRo76]

The Patriot Post, formerly known as The Federalist.

Comes via email 3× weekly, with the Friday edition being the most comprehensive.

You can also choose to receive as a PDF, then print out and read at your leisure.

[Chickensoup]

I like World magazine

I am a World subscriber. It needs to be about and inch thicker.

[Chickensoup]

I did. It looks good.

[Chickensoup]

Thank you.

[Chickensoup]

Thank you.

[MoralSense]

First Things, The Weekly Standard, and I concur on City Journal. The New Criterion for art and literature.

[TonyRo76]

No problem! I've enjoyed reading that one since about '98 myself :)

[Chickensoup]

The New Criterion for art and literature.



I havent heard of this one.

[ex-snook]

The best.

[mjolnir]

I agree City Journal and World magazine are very good, not to say that the others aren't. I also like First Things, Commentary, the Claremont Review, the New Criterion and Modern Age; I think you get a good mix of ideas and reporting from different parts of the conservative spectrum from these. I especially like the back and forth in the letters section in Commentary and First Things.

It's too bad that there's no really good libertarian magazine out there anymore (maybe I missed it). Reason used to have some good articles, at least those in an anti-domestic socialism vein, and I suppose it still does, but under Nick Gillespie, it's really shifted to the left, celebrating Hugh Hefner and the pop singer Madonna as icons.

The Weekly Standard still has good articles in every issue, especially in its book review, but I think Bill Kristol is dragging it down somewhat as Gillespie did to Reason. Neither he nor their house economist seem all that conservative to me-- the "National Greatness Conservatism" Kristol shares with David Brooks exemplefies the political philosophy of John McCain, not of conservatism. And National Review is (OF COURSE) still great.

Here are some of my recommendations:

• The Lincoln Review--a newsletter on issues involving the black community
• Orbis--a scholarly journal on world affairs
• Education Next--a journal that deals with education
• Policy Review--a journal published by the Hoover Institute
• Modern Age--a journal on conservative thought founded by Russell Kirk
• The Independent Review--a quarterly interdisciplinary journal

[Chickensoup]

Thanks

Good to hear your opinions.

[Zeroisanumber]

I recommend that you do as John Adams did and read periodicals and books that you are more apt to disagree with. Sharpens your arguments.

I spend my time in leftist hell. I am sharp.

[Carolinamom]

Believe it or not, but Oregonmag.com has some very conservative and interestingly written article.
