William F. Buckley Jr., R.I.P.
2008-02-27 21:49:00 It’s a sad, sad day. I don’t think any one person, aside from my father, has done more to help shape my political world view than William F. Buckley. I have been a subscriber to National Review for over 30 years, since I was a teenager, and still read every issue from cover ...

National Review Online (NRO) Endorses Mitt Romney
2008-01-22 15:00:00 Romney for PresidentBy the Editors December 11, 2007 Many conservatives are finding it difficult to pick a presidential candidate. Each of the men running for the Republican nomination has strengths, and none has everything — all the traits, all the positions — we are looking for. Equally conservative analysts can reach, and have reached, different judgments in this matter. There are fine conservatives supporting each of these Republicans. Our guiding principle has always been to select the most conservative viable candidate. In our judgment, that candidate is Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts. Unlike some other candidates in the race, Romney is a full-spectrum conservative: a supporter of free-market economics and limited government, moral causes such as the right to life and the preservation of marriage, and a foreign policy based on the national interest. While he has not talked much about the importance of resisting ethnic balkanization — none of the majo...

Another suggests that Political Correctness is sucking ...

National Review: GOP in Deep Doo-Doo
2007-12-01 00:28:00 [Promoted by DHinMI: I’ve recently explored the possibility that the 2008 election could be somewhat like the 1932 election when FDR was elected with a huge majority, which was the start of a Democratic electoral coalition that lasted for decades; I’ll revisit the subject on Sunday. Apparently the boys over at the National Review are ...
Clifford May from National Review- must read on Iraq
2007-11-02 03:32:00 The most touching parts: On Oct. 28 in a village ten miles southwest of Baqubah, U.S. infantrymen came upon a prison run by al Qaeda. In it, according to military spokesmen, they found a hostage, bruised, battered, dehydrated, and tied to the ceiling, his arms injured because of the way they were twisted behind his back. He had been kidnapped three days earlier, he said, because “of my brother who is in the Iraqi Army. They wanted information and for my brother and me to work for al-Qaeda. …They beat me with cables while holding a gun to my head, but I would not work for them because I would not betray my brother...” ...He has photographed Iraqi and American soldiers as they “disinterred the remains of adults and children” from killing fields. “In one grave,” he noted, “soldiers recovered the heads of decapitated children, some with still partially recognizable remnants of flesh and hair.”

National Review Online: Could Dr. Paul really surprise us all?
2007-10-11 18:39:00 This weekend, I attended and spoke at the Second Amendment Foundation?s annual Gun Rights Policy Conference, which was held at a convention center in northern Kentucky, a few miles away from Cincinnati. What I saw and heard there changed my mind about the viability of Ron Paul?s presidential candidacy; Paul is going to far outperform the expectations laid out for him. First, for some background: twenty years ago, the Second Amendment Foundation (the second-largest pro-Second Amendment group in the U.S.) began sponsoring an annual Gun Rights Policy Conference, in conjunction with other pro-gun groups, including the NRA. For a full working day on Saturday, and half a day on Sunday, the conference features 10-15 minute speeches by writers, radio hosts, group leaders, and other pro-2d Amendment activists.?? This year, the audience was the biggest ever. At the first conference I attended, in Dallas in 1988, Ron Paul gave a speech on behalf of his Libertarian Party presidential candida...
National Review: Preparing for a Ron Paul Surprise
2007-10-09 15:23:00 Dave Kopel, writing for The National Review Online, has produced a very positive column today about Ron Paul. Fewer and fewer, it seems to me, are the "Ron Paul is great but doesn't have a chance" narratives, and more numerous are the articles that express either all-out vitriol or insipired optimism. Good to see.Here's an excerpt:This weekend, I attended and spoke at the Second Amendment Foundation?s annual Gun Rights Policy Conference, which was held at a convention center in northern Kentucky, a few miles away from Cincinnati. What I saw and heard there changed my mind about the viability of Ron Paul?s presidential candidacy; Paul is going to far outperform the expectations laid out for him....Most impressive, however, was the large crowd of young people who showed up to hear Paul?s speech. They were enthused and energized, many of them sporting Ron Paul Revolution t-shirts. (The shirts are very clever, since they use ?Revolution? to also say ??LOVE?,? which makes revolution se...
Report of General Petreaus: Realistic Optimism - National Review
2007-09-12 05:11:00 In their testimony yesterday, Gen. David Petraeus and Amb. Ryan Crocker gave a factual, sober, and cautiously optimistic assessment of the Iraq war. It?s the optimism that drives the Left over the bend, with MoveOn.org accusing Petraeus of treason (?General Betray Us?) for the offense of persisting in trying to win a major war in the Middle East. Elected Democrats quickly scurried away from the MoveOn.org ad, but many of them certainly endorse its spirit. One Democratic senator told the Politico a few days ago, ?No one wants to call [Petraeus] a liar on national TV. The expectation is that the outside groups will do this for us.? MoveOn.org ? one of the most well-heeled and active groups in the Democratic base ? duly met the expectation. Its accusation only took the mainstream Democratic charge that Petraeus has been ?cooking the books? to its logical conclusion. While the Left questioned his honesty and patriotism, Petraeus made the case that ?the military objectives of the surg...
The German Terror Plot: What Might Have Been - National Review Online
2007-09-09 17:51:00 As Washington postures in anticipation of next week?s report from Gen. David Petraeus, we are again reminded ? this time by events in Germany ? of the enemy?s nature and the wages of defeat. German authorities have arrested three Islamic terrorists, and are looking for at least ten others, in connection with a plot to strike multiple targets ? most prominently, Ramstein Air Base and Frankfurt International Airport, critical hubs for American military operations and civilian travel, respectively. Investigators believe the terrorists planned to execute their attacks soon. They would have been a high-profile way of commemorating the sixth anniversary of 9/11. Just as significant, the German parliament, like the American Congress, is about to consider questions bearing on whether and how to fight the West?s Islamist foes. On the table is whether Germany will extend the deployment of its NATO forces in Afghanistan, or pull out, as its antiwar Left urges. Why wouldn?t the jihadists st...
National Review Cover Story on Fred Dalton Thompson
2007-08-22 00:01:00 The August 27, 2007, deadtree issue of National Review has a solid cover story by Byron York on Fred Dalton Thompson: Altogether, there?s no doubt that Thompson is a solid conservative who would goern as one. But it?s hard to claim that his positions are terribly different from those of the other conservatives running for the ...
Immigration Match-Up - National Review
2007-08-16 08:55:00 The Bush administration has taken a welcome step toward enforcing immigration law. Last week, the Department of Homeland Security announced that it will issue new regulations aimed at employers who receive ?no match? letters from the Social Security Administration. ?No match? letters are sent to businesses that file W-2 forms on which the name and Social Security number of an employee do not match. This can be the result of a clerical error, but in most cases it means that the employee in question is an illegal alien. The new regulations will require that employers who receive ?no match? letters contact the SSA and verify the status of their workers. Only by doing so will they be able to protect themselves from prosecution. In a second encouraging development, the administration announced that it will require federal contractors to use an electronic-verification system to make sure their workers are legal. This may not greatly reduce the number of illegal hires, but it will send ...

National Review, Redeemed
2007-08-01 15:11:00 After The Derb's pessimistic 'if-only-it-weren't-impossible'- column on Ron Paul the other day, National Review Online columnist Todd Seavey counters with a piece that is courageous, eloquent and penetrating. His sentiments are right in line with my own. I promise not to employ any silly phrases like "audacity of hope", but his column is exactly what conservatives need to hear. I think the next six months are going to prove Mr. Sealy's prescience on this subject. From his "Fusion Candidate":Paul?s greatest obstacle is the Republican primary process. Since he wants to do virtually everything conservatives have long dreamed of with the office of the presidency, what?s stalling his chances is a herd-like desire to vote for the candidate who already seems likely to win the primaries. Democrats won?t keep him from the White House; it would be tragic, then, if Republicans stopped him themselves.Recall, first, the big issue that likely cost the Republicans control of Congress in 2006 a...
