National Review's Declaration of Independence

Breaking News July 5, 2013 Dear Friend, We hope you're enjoying this holiday weekend, and that you've had reason to pause and reflect on our founding in 1776 -- a time when many brave men and women stood athwart history and yelled, Stop! Speaking of which . . . that is precisely what Bill Buckley did when he founded National Review. We thought we'd share with you the magazine's historic "Publisher's Statement" – it's de facto declaration of independence from the reigning ideology – and it's "Credenda." Isn't that a cabinet? No. It's the original laundry list of NR's convictions: Some 57 years old, and it all seems very fresh and relevant. Just like the Declaration now celebrating its 237th birthday. Well, here is NR's "Declaration." Enjoy. And have a good thought for Bill and his comrades who, through the brassy little magazine they founded in November 1955, launched the conservative revolution. See you back here on Monday when Jim Geraghty will have a new "Morning Jolt" awaiting. God bless, Jack Fowler Publisher P.S.: Don't forget that August vacation! Visit www.nrcruise.com.
