National Review Magazine

Pros: enlightened, reasoned conservatism

Cons: not published weekly

Review: A bi-weekly treasure trove of "right-thinking," NR represents the highest expression of contemporary American conservative thought. NR distinguishes itself through its sharp, intelligent writing on the major issues of the day, never shirking...

Pros: Conservative Voice

Cons: wish it were twice as long

Pros: columnists' grasp of issues; caliber of writing

Pros: witty, intelligent articles

Cons: bi-weekly

Review: National Review is the best magazine to follow the American conservative movement. Started by William F. Buckley, NR is filled with solid reporting, unflinching opinion, intelligent analysis, and stimulating book reviews.

Every bi-weekly issue...

Pros: Conservative in a sea of liberalism

Cons: No real attempt to be bi-partisan in any way; Buckley's articles are very loquacious...he's a definite susquapedalianist (user of big words in order to impress people and show off)

Review: The "National Review" has got to be the conservative's conservative magazine, the mother of all things right (wing that is; I'm not so arrogant as to think that conservatives are always right and liberals always wrong.).

I recently...

Pros: Common sense reporting

Cons: None, except those that really need to read this magazine, will never buy it!

Pros: The Florida High Court MUST be in keeping with Florida Laws

Cons: Mr. Gore has little or no regard for "the rule of law..."

Should this High Court fail in their responsibility to the letter and spirit of Florida Law, then, The United States Supreme...

Pros: Words, not photographs; conservative; interesting; speaks well to its readership.

Cons: Becoming more mainstream; overtly Catholic (WFBuckly's influence).

Review: The National Review gives me the Conservative side (though it has become more liberal/mainstream) and the NYTimes give me the liberal (make that way liberal) side. Put them together, I can make my opinion. Being conservative, it's preaching to the ...

Pros: Intellectual reading; Few ads

The Bottom Line: This is a good, intellectual magazine that presents some good, thought- provoking, debate- inducing articles.

Pros: Thoughtful and insightful right-wing commentary

Cons: A little too East Coast, if you know what I mean

The Bottom Line: A conservative mag that is essential reading for both the right and left.
