The Best Conservative Journal Currently
During last year's election year, I subscribed to three conservative journals (National Review, The Weekly Standard, and The American Conservative). The best part about the three was how different they were from each other. TWS in my opinion, was the magazine for the neo-conservatives (a crowd I am not a member of). NR champions the current Republican platform yet is backed up with some excellent writers. TAC, on the other hand offers traditional conservatism. Not exactly for everyone (The only person to endorse Bush in 2004 from the magazine was it's co-founder, Pat Buchanan, who is one of his harsher critics on the right). What makes it so great is that the articles offer conservative critique that may win over more liberals than conservatives at the end of the day. I myself, am not always in agreement with the articles I read. The columns from Pat Buchanan and Taki are worth reading by those on either side of the political spectrum. I recomend this one over NR and TWS but those who like a variety of conservative opinion should explore all three.

Have to admit it, this is a great mag
Every month I try to read Harper's, The Nation, The Economist, and American Conservative, to get a broad overview of the political spectrum from Left to Right (I also try to read the bi-monthly Foreign Policy and Foreign Affairs, the latter which is the mouthpiece of the Council on Foreign Relations, in order to find out what sinister things we can expect in the near future from the permanent government which, apparently inalterably, control's this nation's foreign policy). <
> <
>Anyway, while I've been a long-standing reader of the other mags, I'm fairly new to American Conservative, and I'm pleased to say it's one of the most intelligent and provocative political mags out there. While its bias is, of course, paleo-conservative (which, needless to say is the near-antithesis of neoconservative!), the diversity of opinions in each month's collection of essays keeps you on your toes, and I almost always learn something from reading Am Con every two weeks, which is something I really couldn't have said about Time or Newsweek or so many other rags. <
> <
>Basically what I love about the paleo-viewpoint is its noninterventionist stance in regard to foreign policy, which, after making a careful study of how this country has been on the wrong course foreign policy-wise since the sinister concoction of Truman's "National Security State," which delivered the death-blow to the great American republic and set us on the ruinous course of EMPIRE (and after taking into consideration how we've lost every war since WWII -- INCLUDING IRAQ), I'm convinced that the paleo-stance is unquestionably the right one. <
> <
>On the other hand, since on the domestic front I'm a progressive. . . well, I don't read this magazine for its opinions on domestic matters! <
> <
>(Another thing I should mention is that if Am Con is going to solicit articles favorable to Joe McCarthy in the future? Personally, I wouldn't touch the magazine for the next three issues after the last time that happened. One more time and I am outta here for good!) <
> <
>On the whole, if you're not a diehard paleo, prepare to be infuriated from time-to-time by Am Con. But, for me at least, it's usually worth the risk. <
> <
>Incidentally, I believe that Pat Buchanan and Ralph Nader would make a great team to run in the next presidential election -- let Pat take care of foreign affairs and let Ralph work on the domestic front. If you'd like to know my reasons for this apparently bizarre opinion, go read my Amazon review of Ralph Nader's book, THE GOOD FIGHT.

The Real Face of America's Conservative Movement
If you are emabarrassed by the low level intellects, the loud mouthed chicken hawks, and the globalist sell-outs who claim to speak for conservative America, you will find comfort twice a month in this fine magazine. There are no dumbed down articles, no childish insults and no old-left idealogy repackaged to look like conservative thought. <
> <
>AmCon is anti-globalist, supports fair-trade over free-trade, recognises the cultural threat of immigration, stands bravely against wars of aggression while recognizing the need for a strong defence and Taki's column is the always most entertaining commentary in print. <
> <
>Pro-American leftists will also appreciate this publication.
