Entry: National Cliff Notes Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/national_cliff_notes#11529 Post contents: One of the sadder things about the sunken state and boosterist role of the National Review is that the Old Man, father to William F., a conservative of the old stripe used to invite his friend Albert J. Nock over for lunch. Mr. Nock would then apparently converse on a variety of subjects with the family over lunch and the young William F. was given the benefit of some real conservative economic and political philosophy. Circumstances and opinions change but it seems a shame that there remains nobody at the publication who thinks the philosophy of Nock, and those like him deserves an honest appraisal. The Republican Party has lost itself to Special Interest, Big Government and the pernicious effects of the Security State and the N.R. appears to be one of the bands playing sweetly as the ship goes down. It is a shame to see such a commitment of thinking and writing go toward propping up a government that validates Mr. Nocks most bitter musings. Sent at: 2008 10 06
