Jason Colavito argues that the NephCon is taking the Smithsonian. At least, I think he's arguing that.
It blasts a barrage of facts, at least I think they're facts, about Smithsonian controversies of yore. The Smithsonian is in historic Dixieland between (as of, oh, AD 1785) a moderate Catholic state (Maryland) and a moderate Episcopalian one (Virginia). These aren't really the founding states of the US, nor do their elites represent prole Americans. As a result, when Administrations have taken over since then, the victors want the Smithsonian as a spoil.
One might write an article about that. But that article would have to mention Whiteness. It would have to mention how both central MD and north VA have become colonies of Cambridge, MA; alienating (per the polls) over half the country outside the region.
One might even write the irony of Pat Buchanan loudly supporting the bombing of Nagasaki in the 1980s, against his progeny in the Catholic Right which boo-hoo-hoo's about poor Nagasaki's great Cathedral and how the whole war wasn't worth the US' bother. (If pressed most'll say they're just asking questions.)
I don't think Alberino quite counts, Cernovich aside. Colavito was doing better, earlier.
The New Republic is trying to be the next Wall Street Journal, I guess. Just another partisan broadsheet, canting slogans.
