Thanks for the link.

"Holy moly! She looks like the love child of Elizabeth Warren and a janitor’s mop."

This thread is worth the morning, just for that!

Nope, not cancelling yet, because you haven't given me any information I didn't already have.

I already cited those very lines in my post. What it does not tell me is whether Steyn is done with the magazine itself, which is what I want to know.

There have been a number of magazines that have gome over to the Commie left.

Forbes, it took about four years after old man Forbes passed on that Stievie, who ran for Republican Pres. nomination finally forced me to drop subscribing to what used to be a “conservative” magazine.

Something very similar is happening with NR. They have taken less than four years to go Commie Left after the passing of Buckley. I still hold out hope but when my subscription runs out, I will think long and hard about other options

National Review, it appears, has fallen victim to a former Editor-in-Chief's dictum, O'Sullivan's First Law: "All organizations that are not actually right-wing will over time become left-wing."

Personally, I blame Rich Lowry for this turn of events. In the recent contretemps with Jason Steorts at NRO it was the publisher himself who eventually stepped in. And the question went begging: why is NR's premiere writer calling the managing editor into the street in front of the whole world, and why did the Editor-in-Chief not short-circuit this entire discussion long before it got here?

I think the only answer that makes sense, unfortunately, is that Rich Lowry agreed with Jason Steorts [and sent him out to do his dirty work], and that is a very sad commentary on the state of National Review today.

I still enjoy Andrew McCarthy, Rich Long, and occasionally Jonah Goldberg. But if Steyn has parted company with them, I will, too.

Or Richard Feynmann because people denied the mathematics of quantum chromodynamics.

Feynman could hardly have done that, since he was one of them. He regarded the path integral formulation as laughably suspect; but justified because -- and only because -- it worked.

Homosexuals are desperate to be viewed as normal. They know they’re not and nothing will ever make their behavior or lifestyle normal. Actually, I am wrong, Jesus Christ will.

Homosexuals are desperate to be viewed as normal.

Actually they want to get rid of what they call "Heteronormative Society", they actually see themselves as superior.
