Default Do any of you actually like the NR?

I'm constantly struck, when I read the National Review, about how asinine and immature the commentary is. It's not smart. It's barely a step removed from some random person on a message board speaking.

It's frankly embarrassing.

Let me give you an example.

I'm under the very distinct impression that the average GOP supporter is now more stupid than ever, and we see that reflected in the NR. There is serious brain-power shortage in the GOP.

You looked out in the audience of the debate last night, and you see fat stupid people asking dumb questions, as if half of them rolled in after eating a hot dog at the gas station.

As I get older, I am less patient. I can't suffer fools easily. And it is painful to be associated with these morons.

You less patient? Hmmm.

I don't read National Review following the death of Buckley.

Seems like painting with a pretty broad brush. Some posts are better than others.
