Entry: The New Face of National Review Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_trotskyist_hour#871 Post contents: It was bad enough in the late 60's and 70's as a Young American for Freedom putting up with the Children of Wealth & Privilege infatuation with the Communist butcher, Trotsky. We stretched pretty thin back then trying to stand up to Leftist Radicalism on my college campus in the face of the struggle to stop Soviet expanisionism in Vietnam. Those old YAFers were true patriots, not ideologues or utopian dreamers. We had to endure the endless nonsense by these "Red Babies" that Soviet Russia was not "real" Communism, and that if only Stalin hadn't derailed Trotsky's rule, what a wonderful paradise Eastern Europe would have been. Now 35 years later we have the National Review publishing a homage to Trotsky's memory! And the very same campus radicals out burning American flags and spitting on law and order, have now got all the great jobs in Washington DC and the Republican Party! It's OUTRAGEOUS! Jonah Goldberg particularly, and the cliche he has assembled at NR resemble Soviet-era Communist Party hacks, enforcing the "official" party line, little of which has do with traditional American values, and the economic interests of the middle classes that used to be the backbone of the Nixon "Silent Majority" and the Reagan Republican Majority! I rarely read NR-Online these days, only for a joke. I'd read it less from now on. Sent at: 2008 05 16
