Former National Review board member and trustee Austin Bramwell writes about what he sees as the dead end of conservatism. No one is spared – neither neocons nor paleocons – but Bramwell reserves his harshest criticisms for NR, the flagship journal of American conservatism, for becoming, in his view, unserious about, well, pretty much everything.

What’s not clear is what, if anything, Bramwell would put in place of what he takes to be the wreckage of modern conservatism.
