Harshing the Liberals' Mellow Since 1955.  Dear Friends, As we have promised during this #30DaysHathBucktember effort, enduring our appeals comes with an upside: We're republishing a classic Bill Buckley piece with each email. Today's selection, first published in National Review in 1958, from Bill's "The Ivory Tower" column, is Has History Tenure? – is really a smack-down of liberal historian Arthur Schlesinger and his devotion to the Leftist-heralded anarchists, Sacco and Vanzetti. Enjoy it. As the picture above shows, NR thought highly of the liberal High Intellectual. For over six decades, NR has been at the forefront of discrediting discreditable liberals, progressives, multiculturalists, political-correctors, and all others who believe the aggrandized state is preferable to you and your unalienable rights. Alongside us in that fight have been many a stalwart conservative, maybe even you, who respond to the various appeals -- first made (annually) by Bill, starting in 1959, and then by the rest of us NR lifers (Lowry, Capano, Fowler, et al.) – because they agree that our effort to keep NR and the Buckley mission surviving (opinion magazines and websites are the kind of businesses that need donor support, or a billionaire owner!) and thriving are vital. Our current Fall 2017 webathon effort leans heavily on the thriving. Go here for a detailed description of its four main objectives, boiled down to this: • Hiring a tech guru for NRO's burgeoning podcast operation, • Obtaining related video software (an expenditure we are confident will result in significant new income), • Hiring a revenue officer (another major expenditure, but with an anticipated result of multiples in revenue), and • Expanding our summer intern project. We're seeking to raise $200,000. Can you help? Why would you? Because NR is a cause, one that involves this institution, naturally, but one that also involves you. It's the cause of articulating and propagating conservatism, and the cause of battling the multicultural blankety-blanks, the cause of protecting unalienable rights for this and future generations. And yeah, it's unalienable. Whether a sawbuck or a C-Note or maybe even more, your selfless generosity will help NR and NRO survive. But: It will also help our cause thrive. So please donate: You can do that here. If you prefer to contribute via PayPal, do that here. And should you want to donate via check, make it payable to "National Review" and mail it to our new address: 19 West 44th Street, 17th Floor, New York, NY 10036. God bless and many thanks, The National Review Team |
