Perversity
I stopped reading it when Buckley died - already 14 years ago. It now represents Democrat Party views of the 1990s.
Not Trump’s policies personally so much as those of his Administration, so many of whom were anti-MAGA infiltrators and traitors.
Andrew Sullivan precursor.
I have heard few conservatives arguing against Social Security or Medicare over the past few decades.
Well that certainly explains a lot.
My wife is Chinese. My PhD is from a university in China.
But yes, you can immigrate to China though not many people do. However, you have to have a skill they need or money to support yourself. The larger cities are not cheap and unlike the UK and Europe, there is no “Obama Care”/Socialized medicine.
The problem is, the Right has been "moving on" for generations.
I've been following politics since the 1970s. I wore Nixon buttons on my tie when I was a kid in Catholic grammar school. (So did most of the boys at my school.)
I remember when in the late 1970s Anita Bryant was campaigning against a "non-discrimination" bill in Florida that would have allowed gays to teach kids in schools.
The Republican position was, Gays should not be allowed near children.
The Democrat position was, Gays should be allowed to teach kids provided they kept their sexuality out of class discussions (i.e., if they stayed in the closet).
Both parties opposed gay marriage. It wasn't even on the table for discussion.
Since the 1970s, the Right has been losing one battle after another, always shrugging and saying, "Time to move on.
And thus has our culture moved ever Leftward.
I, personally, am very disturbed by the plethora of gay “conservatives” paraded on FOXNEWS, despite the fact that in every other way, their views are conservative. And even though they do espouse conservative viewpoints, I am uneasy about them. In my Christian worldview, homosexuality is a grave sin. Yet we know we are to love the sinner, and that they may be won over for the LORD by our good treatment of them. But that must never be misinterpreted as approval of their lifestyle. I pray for them, that the LORD will reveal Himself to them, and as they are truth seekers in other ways, they will receive the truth of their sin.
Unconditional Surrender is Exactly what RINO’s do. It is Establishment Republican’s, Trade Mark. It is the Only thing consistent with RINO’s. You can take this fact to the bank.
They are solely responsible for the rise of the Tea Party and President Donald Trump.
RINO’s are stone-cold capitulation queens. Gutless wonders. They are the Enemy Within.
And, their latest champion is the worthless excuse for a man named Mike Pence.
Dumped them years ago.
Giving a secular government administrative authority over marriage is like having the government give out bar mitzvah certificates.
National Review featured articles about “the conservative case for” everything that isn’t remotely conservative long ago.
The National Review used to be revered and used to be conservative.
Yes, I used to be a devout subscriber myself . . . until about the time they began firing and sidelining true (and honest) conservatives like Joe Sobran.
See my tagline.
That all happened a while back and it’s not going to change. At this point, it’s surprising if media people, right or left or center or apolitical, aren’t gay. Unless there is some unwise and unnecessary purge you probably won’t find a conservative periodical that doesn’t have someone gay writing for it.
Any other viewpoint is considered extremist religious fanatic stuff. By the ruling class that is, not just a particular political party..
