“The cessation of the Standard is an intellectual and political crime.”
It’s existence was a crime against humanity!!
Interesting how we always have to conform to them. But the liberal wing of the Republican Party never has to let us drive.
John & Bill two peas in a pod. Not American firsters.
Podhoretz is from the same mold as Kristol. Another damned neocon who doesn’t f***ing get it either!
Well, theres always the factor that subscribers walked away, and newsstand sales dropped to.
If (you know) you wanted to look at the whole picture.
Podhoretz is just upset over his legacy. Poor baby.
Hey Pod, Trump still stands and the Weakly Standard doesn’t.
Yay.
Hey Junior! How did you treat people who were not team players in your war mongering?
This isn't softball, John, which was your problem all along. It's war. And cutting the enemy an even break isn't virtuous if he only uses it to avoid cutting you one.
“The best way to control the opposition is to run it ourselves”—Kristol, Podhoretz, McStain, Bush, Ryan, Graham, McScrotum, Romney, etc.
Excuse me for laughing hysterically at the demise of this neo-con rag & the fat-load Podhoretz.
BTW, Podhoretz, your own psychotic Trump-hated killed the WS magazine.
There is no real reason we are witnessing the magazine’s demise
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It failed because nobody reads magazines anymore. Simple as that.
1. The people who PROVED Iraq was behind 9/11
2. The people who PROVED Iraq was behind the anthrax attacks
3. The people who originally hired Fusion GPS to go after Trump (& Cruz)
To paraphrase Abe Lincoln, “These are the little ladies who started this great, big war.”
Schadenfreude Dept.: Pat Buchanan’s THE AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE, founded to counter these monsters is still alive & kicking.
My largest problem with TWS is that they backed politicians who could not be counted on when we counted on them. And while they could not stomach Trump, they could stomach Mexico, China, democrats and RINOs.
TWS had great writers who could come up with rational for any policy that their big donors wanted. But when it came to average Americans, TWS generally sided with (not always agreeing with) the elites.
Trump takes a different style to the Issue. He fights, he doesn’t just argue in an obscure magazine. Trump fights China, Fights North Korea, fights The UN committee on Human Rights, fights Russia, fights Mexico, and fights the swamp. Trump is the most actionable president in my lifetime. Reagan is the only one close. Its like the different between Janitors and Contractors. Trump knocks down and builds anew. Bush would apply WD40 or a new coat of paint. Obama would just give a speech.
Cuck.
Suicide
Self inflicted.
We just couldn’t fight enough wars in the Middle East for long enough to save this neocon magazine. G_d knows we tried.
