The American Conservative magazine offering special $10.00 subscriptions!

[Cowlesy]

I have to say, TAC is my favorite conservative magazine. The articles are always interesting and thought-provoking. It is not a conservative magazine that blathers on about Republicans/Democrats, but looks at ideas, culture, philosophy with usually one, maybe two current event articles. Or at least current event articles divorced from talking-points thinking.

Yeah it's a goofy link, but it's the right one (I tried it myself).


$1.20 an issue is such a great deal.

[angelatc]

bump. It really is an awesome magazine. It's the only print publication that I still get.

[Origanalist]

I like going to their site, they do a great job of trashing Romney.

[mad cow]

Thanks for the heads up.Ordered it.

[Lucille]

I'm in. Thanks for the heads-up! +rep

[Cowlesy]

Ahh terrific. I really hope you guys like it as much as I do. It's one of the few magazines you actually want to read cover-to-cover, and isn't full of ads like National Geographic.

[Cowlesy]

bump -- can't beat the discounted rate

[Bastiat's The Law]

Awesome thanks!

[Cowlesy]

last bump in case anyone missed out

[AGRP]

This is a great way to introduce neocons to the truth. They prefer the old style ways of communication. Order it for your friends and family.

[seyferjm]

Thanks for the link, I subscribed!

How many issues is it?

haven't gotten a magazine in a decade-

Hmm. Great idea for neocon MIL's Christmas gift. She can pass on to us after reading.

You know what’s not going out of the print business? The American Conservative. Nor are we going out of the online business. As Daniel McCarthy points out, we’re the kind of magazine that works in both formats. But we are not cheap to produce, and we depend on subscribers for support. Somebody’s got to pay for Daniel Larison to give Mitt Romney hell from the realist foreign policy right. Somebody’s got to pay the dental bills when the poor little Dreher children’s teeth rot out of their head because they won’t stop eating Nutella. Why not you?

Seriously, I’ve been so gratified by the outpouring of support for TAC from...members of this blog’s community who have subscribed in the past couple of days. I know a few of y’all aren’t even conservatives, but you appreciate the kind of work we do here, and want to read voices from the alternative right. We appreciate your vote of confidence in us, and recognize that you make our work possible. I hope we both give you pleasure and earn your trust — but if we don’t, you can always ask for a refund, and you’ll get it, guaranteed. Come on, gang, if you haven’t taken advantage of our great Election Season special offer — a whole year of TAC for only $10 (https://ezsub.net/i/f.dll/main.sv.run?FIRSTNAME=&LASTNAME=&ADDRESS1=&CITY=&STATE=&ZIP=&SCNTRY=USA&JT=B2&ALIAS=ACMPRN2&STAGE=N&SOURCE=INET&DBG=F&x=83&y=4) — what are you waiting for?

Thanks for posting this up. Hard to beat $1.20 an issue, and their blogging is always fresh.

I'm glad I subscribed.

My morning mailbag included this from a reader in Colorado:


I subscribed to TAC, and I have to say that it’s probably the best money on a subscription I’ve spent, other than paying for daily access to a couple news organizations I check virtually hourly. I’ve benefited greatly from reading stuff that’s outside the traditional Wall Street Journal, establishment-type of conservatism.

The reader’s remarks prefaced a request for some reading suggestions to explore further the traditionalist forms of conservatism — the Kirk/Weaver/Nisbet stream of conservative American thought. I love this. I really do. Through reading TAC, this young conservative in Colorado is opening the doors for himself to neglected treasures of American conservatism, and learning that the mainstream Right does not define what it means to be a conservative.

If you have benefited similarly from reading TAC‘s website, why not subscribe? We’re running a fantastic promotion right now, in which you get an entire year of the print magazine (plus access to our online archive) to new subscribers for only $10. If you don’t like it, you can ask for your money back, and you’ll get it. Click here to start your new subscription at our $10 rate (https://ezsub.net/i/f.dll/main.sv.run?jt=B0&ALIAS=ACMPRN2&STAGE=N&SOURCE=INET&DBG=F).

[Uriah]

Subscribed. Looks good.

[Carson]

Thanks for the tip.

I wish The New American was offering some sort of deal like this or a trial subscription.

[Matt Collins]

My subscription had run out, and I forgot. Thanks for reminding me to renew. I get this and Reason and the Young Americans for Liberty publication too.

Will there be a chip-in to defray your costs?

[kathy88]

HA! Snark aside, I'm going to subscribe. And I'm in a great mood, so tell you what. The first 5 people that PM me their name and address, I'll buy your subscription, too. Please only if you really can't afford it, and promise to read them :)

[Lucille]

+reps to anyone who subscribes! (But I give away reps like candy on Halloween. Many times I'm too lazy to comment, and also I don't want to waste the bandwidth creating a post just agreeing or whatever.)

quota bandwidth?

LOL... No. I'm a conservative, so I conserve. ;)

i paid for unlimited and use with no limit. i easily move 450GB of data a month. but i do crazy stuff like setup a VPN with my friends and treat the internet like my own personal office. we share data like we are on a LAN

[torchbearer]

once people become more knowledgable about how the internet actually works, they will change how they use it.
i believe people will begin to moving to vpns with friends(or social groups).

Hamachi is a real easy program to use in setting up a vpn:

I'm trying to conserve RFP's bandwidth, plus I don't want to be all over the place like a cheap suit!

Cool though. It hasn't happened yet, but the cable co has started charging for streaming over a certain amount. You knew that was coming!

[Lucille]

When my oldest was in high school, his govt and econ. teacher used to distribute crap from Center for American Progress, and he told the kids it was a "bipartisan organization." That Christmas, I bought his class a subscription to Reason. If I had a kid in that school now, I'd do the same with AmConMag.


The experience of the third-party debate led me to conclude that Ron Paul was wise (http://www.theamericanconservative.com/day-after-blogging-the-third-party-presidential-debate/): his constituency was far better served by his trying to reform the Republican party from within. At the end of this election cycle, who will have done more to advance the cause of the antiwar right? Paul or Johnson? It’s a question that answers itself.

[seyferjm]

Got my first issue this past weekend, haven't had a chance to read it yet though!

[emazur]

Looks like they have a Keynesian writing for them:
http://www.economicpolicyjournal.com/2012/11/no-wonder-david-brooks-endorsed.html

After careful research..., I came to the annoying conclusion that Keynes had been 100 percent right in the 1930s. Previously, I had thought the opposite. But facts were facts and there was no denying my conclusion.

But hey, nobody's perfect. I just think it's odd that many here will smear CATO and Reason over every little thing but nary a negative word about AmCon.

[Lucille]

I read that the other night, emazur. How can he think that now, while we watch Keynes' Vampire Economy (http://mises.org/daily/1935) slowly implode, and destroy us all?

I don't hold it against AmCon for publishing it, since it is getting them a lot of page hits. It's pretty sickening watching the lefties gush all over him in the comments. He's one of "reasonable" ones, dontcha know.

The mag is having a 2 for 1 Christmas Special now.

[emazur]

Just noticed this comment on Tom Woods' site - did you notice this other stuff too?
http://www.tomwoods.com/blog/someone-finally-loves-bruce-bartlett/#disqus_thread

I recently subscribed to The American Conservative based solely on your recommendation, Dr. Woods. I just received my first issue (the one with the Barlett article), and I feel like I deserve a refund for false advertising. Aside from the ode to Paul Krugman and Keynesian economics, there was also a screed against a small Catholic college in Florida (which looked like a personal vendetta, wrapped in a book review) as well as a complaint about the 1% and an attack on an Austrian perspective book.

[Lucille]

Bruce “Won’t Someone Please Love Me” Bartlett finally has an admirer. And it’s Paul Krugman. (Thanks to Bob Wenzel.)

Funny! That's how I took it too. Well, he got it. Like I said, the progs (even though they like to call themselves "liberal") are gushing all over him. I haven't gotten my first issue yet so I'll look for those when it comes.

http://www.theamericanconservative.com/archive/december-2012/

[Lucille]

I finally commented on that ridiculous Bartlett piece. Since there are so many progs commenting, it seemed like a great opportunity to slam them and their benevolent dictator. But man, now they are all over that place like cheat suits. I hope they leave eventually.

Seems like a strange time to embrace Keynes’ Vampire Economy, while it’s in its death throes, and destroying us all. It is the most convenient economic theory though, since when it all goes horribly wrong, as it is wont to do, the answer is always, “It wasn’t enough!”

For myself, I read it all. For example, the WaPo series on the murderous sociopathic tyrant Obama with his kill lists, ever-expanding drone wars and bases, and the “due process” of the executive branch was excellent.

I confess that I do enjoy my libertarian bubble some days though! I mean really, how much Statist opinion must one have to consume every day in order to be considered “open-minded?” It’s frustrating and tedious reading how the only solution to our problems is more government control, more economic central planning, more borrowing, spending and printing, more war, and less liberty and justice for all. We’ve read how that plays out, and it always ends in tears. Alas, I suppose we are condemned to repeat it!

Too bad we all get the government the Statists “left” and “right” deserve.
