The original goal of National Review was to present Ivy League students with a never-heard alternative world view. NR was excoriated because the blue blood schools had been so arrogantly left wing for so long they were OFFENDED by criticism of them or their view point, which they had come to consider self evident.

Over the ensuing decades NR followed the whacko left from the blue blood colleges out into every walk of life-especially politics.

NR made its mark identifying and spotlighting the domestic enemy (as well as injuring it with satire.)

While looking for a theme that could attract listeners to declining AM radio, Rush Limbaugh came to the conclusion that the general public was now in the same boat that the Ivy League students of 1955 were in: a left wing barrage with no alternative viewpoint. With nothing to lose, he took the risk of broadcasting the pro-American, anti-socialist viewpoint (which he had learned, mostly, from reading National Review.) The idea filled a total philosophical vacuum created by the arrogant left, and took off with lightening speed all over America.

Rush made his mark identifying and spotlighting the domestic enemy (as well as injuring it with satire.)

Today's left wing domestic enemy is totally insane, lashing out at forces it never saw coming, and listening to its still-captive "mainstream" media for self-reinforcement,

That is just more evidence that the domestic enemy is DOOMED. Complete FAILURE on the combined issue of GOD and COUNTRY is about to destroy the remnants of the domestic enemy in 2006 and 2008.

Will we HAVE a Bill Buckley in some future time when we need him again? Or has the domestic enemy managed to have him aborted? The answer cannot be determined, but we can and should all continue to pray...
