Rich Lowry of National Review: Buttboy of the Left
One could almost hear the corks shooting out from champagne bottles,drumming the neon tubes, formica, PVC, and suspended ceiling panels of the various Marxist propaganda offices across the Anglosphere, as the malodorous scribblers therein celebrated Rich Lowry’s meek obedience. For, having demonstrated—conclusively—that he is a yes-man, a man with a spine made out of milk, they knew that from now on they would be able to demand anything from him. After all, it only took a few hours and a bit of screeching on the internet for him to fire what many regarded was his best columnist. -- When They Smell Blood

Your Say
I have some nostalgia for National Review as it introduced me to the intellectual basis for conservatism. Then it grew boring and old. Then Buckley died. Then I realized it was not even conservative anymore.
Someone once wrote that any organization not explicitly right wing eventually becomes left wing. Very true and it is happening to NR. It starts with loss of the brave front runners. They get replaced with some useless and cowardly Grish Chunder De. Then the leftist moles move in and take over.
Is Lowry the useless Babu 'De' caricatured by Kipling in 'The Head of the District'? Or is he a leftist mole?
Here's the lesson: it does not matter. Leftism and uselessness are isomorphic.
Anyway, as for NR, I'm gone.

Immature adults acnitg like children . So, what's new?For a purportedly impoverished and discriminated people, the Democrat's base certainly has a lot of free time and disposable income. Who is paying for their activism? Probably public money from Obama's stimulus, providing bought, and paid for, volunteers to spread propaganda and impose consensus.You may want to forward the latest example of regressive intolerance to Napolitano, the wise latina , SPLC, ADL, etc. Maybe they can open their minds long enough to recognize the real threat to Americans and humanity.Hitler youthClose, but the American fascists are merely incompetent wannabes, who aspire to that level of achievement. Even Cuban communists do not take them seriously. Don't worry American fascists. If you focus and work hard, then you will, one day, be a source of pride for your regressive ancestors and predecessors.Does anyone else despise these regressive flat-worlders and their consensus-driven agendas? Not to mention their frequent resort to emotional extortion. Even children are not so egotistical and selfish.Oh well, I blame the parents. This all starts at home, and is perpetuated by liberal/progressive policies. It is sad to witness the effects of character development sabotage. Remember, think of the children, for they are ignorant and self-serving.
