When Johnny Friendly and His Goons Took Over National Review
Breitbart ^ | 1.24.2016 | Robert Davi

Posted on 01/24/2016 2:58:06 PM PST by Aria

Like figures in Madame Tussauds wax museum, they stand together bloodless and stiff – the dead elitists who dare go among us, the Great Unwashed. I have met some of them. Some are nice, but the majority are so elitist that they are like a synod of intellectual snobbery – out of touch with the world and stuck in the dusty rooms they write in, while becoming intoxicated by breathing in the stale air of their own gas.

This current display of solidarity is as smug as the smirk on Glenn Beck’s face, one of the 22 contributors of National Review’s “Against Trump” issue who should know better. Beck had an addiction problem. He went through a “change.” Does this make him any less authentic or sincere in his recovery? By trying to “undefined” Trump, they are saying they can see into his heart and soul. Well, you morons, if you want to see Trump’s heart and soul, look to his children. That more than anything is the measure of a man. And it is not an easy thing to bring up children. What’s more, we know that Trump’s admonishment to his children to not “smoke, drink, or do drugs” can be looked on as the words of someone who respects discipline. Also, Trump to my knowledge is the only candidate in recent memory to mention President Eisenhower! Are you saying that Ike wasn’t considered “conservative”?

How many left wing actors support Trump? A lot apparently. Not surprising, since he has helped bring “Hollywood morality” to the U.S.

Posting tip; if you paste the text of the article into Notepad then copy the text from Notepad and paste to FR you will lose all the crazy symbols.

You get smaller and more irrelevant with every post. I have to keep enlarging my font just to read them.

Davi was a good bad guy in “License to Kill.” He wasn’t one of those Bond villains out to conquer the world. He just wanted to make a quick buck or two with cocaine.

I think Mr. Davi has been reading my posts!

“Trump is a patriotic American who has built businesses that employ thousands of people. What have his critics built? They live on other peoples money and produce nothing but words.”

“intoxicated by breathing in the stale air of their own gas.”

That goes in in my quote journal.

IIRC, Max said Bob Davi is a rather conservative guy.

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. A major exception to my observation that intelligence is in direct inverse proportion to one's acting or artistic ability. Love this guy's acting; brilliantly written and argued column. And SPOT ON correct. The NR 22 ARE the Establishment, and as I noted earlier, their interests are exactly the same as those of the Washington Insider Elite Establishment. Their support of Cruz is entirely consistent and predictable and expected.

Truly, the NR22 were lost by Trump, and they turned on him, when Trump first said, "Make America Great Again." That means NO MORE STATUS QUO.

The NR22 was totally petrified at the thought of being politically incorrect and the mean things that would be said about them in other publications. No more cocktail party invites. No more provided partners proffered by lobbyists and donors nightly. No more insider info on stock tips and inclusion in other deals that turn people in the Washington class into millionaires.

Great article. To me, the money quote -

...So, you see, opinions are all over the place, and there are no absolutes - no pure strain of conservatism. The survival of America is at stake, and the 22 writers of National Review are goons trying to muscle and goose-step the America people against the GOP frontrunner, Donald Trump. Now that is not conservative...

Part of this reminded me of what Thomas Hart Benton (Muralist THB, not Manifest Destiny THB) had to say about art critics, art dealers and assorted art world hangers-on.
