Fred Ain’t Dead
Fred Thompson, the man I backed for President, is back on the scene. Today he wrote an article for Townhall.com. It began promising:
conservatism is alive and well in America . . . while man is prone to err, he is capable of great things when not subjugated by a too-powerful government.
That’s the conservative voice I liked hearing. Unfortunately, this introductory piece appears to be little more than pimping for Townhall Magazine:
That’s what I’ve been talking and writing about for the past few years, and that’s what I want to talk write about here on Townhall and in the new Townhall Magazine.
I joined Townhall and am writing exclusive commentaries for Townhall Magazine because I see them elevating the discourse on issues based on these principles — smaller government, individual liberty, standing for common values that have become all too uncommon, a strong national defense and, most of all, an optimism and belief in America.
Sigh . . . can new print magazines really make money these days? I subscribe to but one magazine and that is solely out of a sense of loyalty and doing things correctly. I could easily get all the recipes for free even if I didn’t subscribe.
I would love to read Fred’s thoughts on conservatism, but I’ll be damned if I’ll pay to do so.
