An Expected Result

The Weekly Standard is shutting down, and that’s not an unexpected thing, since the magazine has never really been a “conservative magazine.” It pretended to be, but it tended to reject things conservatives hold dear. Conservatives have long been suspicious of the direction they have always taken, and they “shot their last bolt” when they became a prolific critic of President Trump. That put them firmly in the liberal camp, as far as many conservatives were concerned. Trump, as president, is the best thing that has happened to America, in my memory—and my memory goes back to the days of FDR, which is a long time back. He has rescued the economy that Obama said was “gone forever,” because he hadn’t a clue as to how to bring it back. The economy has gone, in the less than 2 years of the Trump administration, from doldrums, to booming proportions. Under Obama (and other liberals), we lost the admiration and respect of the rest of the world, that came from the free market principles we used to become a world leader in less than 300 years, breezing right past civilizations that have been around for thousands of years. Obama and other liberals represented socialism, a system that has predictably failed every time, and everywhere it has been tried—and conservatives didn’t like that, so they stopped buying that magazine, leading to it’s demise. Good riddance. (Legal Insurrection)
