“…a once proud conservative magazine…”

SO REPORTS OUR OWN eye in the sky, the inimitable Right Wing Professor, in his review of the review — a meta-review, if you will — of Ann Coulter’s latest core dump, “Godless”. To wit:

RWP weeps for the demise of Human Events, a once proud conservative magazine, which like so much of the right seems to have turned to anti-intellectualism and bomb throwing.

Indeed. And these are the folks who would have you believe that they’re the intellectual heirs of such giants as Oakeshott, Hayek, Friedman, Kirk. We think not. “Anti-intellectualism”, with a populist bent, covers it quite nicely. We are at least relieved that another giant, Ronald Wilson Reagan, is no longer around to see what’s become of his favorite magazine.
