National Review Makes Its Own, Distorted Definition of What Conservatism Is

National Review's Definition for Conservative is as distorted as the Democrat's strange definition for Progressive.

National Review (NR) has had its collective pants in a bunch since Trump called for controlling the borders. It has too long been part of arrogance found Inside the Beltway. It has slipped too far since the death of William F. Buckley.
