18. The American Conservative is a weird publication. They are anti-war and I think anti-Patriot Act too

Nov 2012

They are very supportive of Bradley Manning and Wikileaks. They also ran one of the best description of Brecht's view on theatre I've ever seen.

During the 2008 election they ran a cover implying Rudy Guilliani was a fascist.

I think they tend to support third party candidates, usually from the Constitution Party.

That's why they are being so critical of Fox News and Romney. This isn't an example of "Republicans" telling the truth.

I have no idea who reads this publication other than one relative I have. But even he seems to have turned for voting for war mongers in order to stop the big socialist government for which he works.

There are weird people who have weird views amongst us.
