I keep an ear open for Jonah because he's respected but listening to him fumble a concept as simple as nationalism as he does in his introductory remarks makes it hard not to write him off. Way too married to liberalism.

[TheronasaurusRx]

A publication called NATIONAL review can't even agree on what nationalism is. Does anything else need to be said?

[John-heyh]

The sophistry at the start from Jonah Goldberg is revolting. But how could it not be!

[bigdawg]

You can’t compare nationalism in the sense that it’s first introduced in this discussion to where Jonah takes it with socialism and nationalizing government entities. They’re two totally different things.

When you think of eletist in Washington you think of people like this. I know Tucker admits it that unless you get in your car and drive 70 miles in any direction you are insulated from what is really happening in the United States. I just wonder if Jonah Goldberg has been outside of his bubble.

[maku]

The establishment conservative/lebeterian republicans should be thrown out and elect more right wing nationalist politicians.

[joegerhardusa]

A nation is a race, a group of people forming a country of the same race
