Immigration Peace Between the National Review and
VDARE.COM; Patrick Cleburne Says Phooey

Re: Patrick Cleburne’s Blog:
Hopalong Goldberg?
I am delighted that what you call the
Goldberg Review (aka, the National Review) is
now on the same page on immigration issue that you are.
I would like to suggest that you take this
opportunity after all these years to
make peace with what is now an allied and powerful
voice.
I understand that this may be difficult to do. There
has been a long history of
disagreement and bad feeling. Jobs have been lost;
careers have been ruined. I know all of that. So it is
understandable that Mr. Goldberg's recent conversion to
your position has been commented on very bitterly in
several recent postings.
Yet the fact remains that we are still in a perilous
minority versus the establishment elite and the MSM. So
unity is important—for heaven's sake, take this chance
to make peace.

replies: I wonder
if Wolfgang Zernik also contacted National Review
with his proposal? Could an offer for NRO to return
Peter Brimelow’s
position be in the
mail? Has anyone seen friendly references to VDARE.com
at NRO? Or any references of any kind?
Several readers have written
to me in this vein. At best, they are being childishly
naive. The problem with neoconservatives is that they
bring their policies
with them. Right now,
to preserve
credibility, they have
to write restrictionist material.
Much of it is
very good – they did
not get where they are without talent. But once the
storm passes, they will revert to their own
preferences and
immigration control will be shelved.
