 The American Conservative by Nicholas Stix
TAC (it calls itself “AMCONMAG,” but that sounds too much like “ECOMCON,” the clandestine military unit poised to take over the country in a coupe d’etat, in the movie Seven Days in May), could have been successful, by the admittedly modest standards of political magazines.
Middle American News, which is devoted to immigration reform but has published some work on race (i.e., mine), has over 100,000 readers, but has never had the financial backing necessary to make a big splash, and has failed to exploit the Internet.
TAC might have prospered, or at least limited its losses, had it given its readers straight talk about race, and that “humbler” approach to foreign affairs that George W. Bush had promised the electorate in 2000, and which was characteristic of the Old Right, whose spirit TAC sought to evoke.
