“... Kathryn Jean Lopez tut-tutting...”
That’s what she does. Well said.
Yep
Always been friends with me Clintons
Now a buddy of Barky and Mooch
I will never trust him again
(Bill Kristol)
He’s like Tokyo Rose
Sobran, Francis, Pat Buchanan and Robert Novak to a degree all warned Buckley about neoconservatives. They were right.
Buckley was against the Iraq invasion.
Lol! Over a decade of “what happened to National Review”?
“He did separate out and wall off the John Birch Society.”
That was a mistake.

Why are you still reading it? I remember people there attacking Mark Levin’s book in 2010. That was 13 years ago.
Bailed on FR when they failed to stand with Mark Steyn on Michael Mann’s law fare harassment of them over Mann’s bs book on global warming.
In 1977, I took Greyhound from Hartford to Old Orchard Beach, Maine. (Think I would let any of my kids do that today?) I took my dad’s NR magazine (along with a boating, a railroad and a model railroading magazine and a book.) At Boston, I had to wait an hour and 15 minutes to catch the OOB bus. I sat down and 20 minutes later a creep sat next to me and asked me why I was reading a hateful magazine. I looked at him and he was reading the Advocate, so I decided to move to another location. I guess he was looking for runaways (I just spend a month in NY City for my sociology class, and we were there helping runaways before pedos go to them) to traffic.
So where was the JBS wrong?
“The problem is not that Ms. Lopez does not appreciate Mr. Aldean’s tune but that she does not appreciate Mr. Aldean’s people”
Bingo. Th wine and cheese eaters at NR are effete snobs.
ps
I am proud to report that I once shook the hand of Bill Buckley. It was a great day indeed.
Thanks for posting great piece from Schlichter. I used to subscribe to NR. When they let Mark Steyn go, I stopped.
Went on their cruise once when they were at the top of their game. Had dinner with such notables as John Derbyshire, Kevin Williamson, and everyone’s favorite Andrew Breitbart. Don’t know how Williamson turned around. Derbyshire does a podcast unavailable in our mailboxes. Breitbart-we just need someone to step up. Same with Rush.
American Spectator was great when it was a news sheet publication it started downhill when it turned to a slick magazine format. I recently cleaned out my basement and threw out my entire collection of Spectators [from #1] and National Review [from around 72 to 86 ] something I never thought I would do. My wife is thrilled !
“Buckley wasn’t who a lot of us thought he was towards the end.”
Buckley never “retired” from the CIA.
The Deep State quickly figured out that the easiest way to “win” was to control both sides of the debate.
Great post on Francis—Buckley couldn’t lick his boots.
I remember getting “The American Spectator” when they had amazing coverage on the early Clinton scandals.
But—they chickened out covering the Foster “suicide”.
They knew Foster was murdered but lacked the cojones to go there.
That was it for me—I was done with them.
