The American Conservative

Paleoconservative and anti-interventionist. Pat Buchanan, Scott McConnell and Taki Theodoracopulos launched The American Conservative in 2002, largely to oppose the coming Iraq War, and restraint abroad remains its signature argument. It is the right-of-center magazine to read for skepticism of war, of free-trade orthodoxy and of the conservative establishment, often years before those views reached the Republican mainstream. Its essays on place, community and localism give the stance a depth that its foreign policy pieces alone would not.
