One of the paradoxes of the ancient Greek philosopher Zeno goes something like this: To go from point A to point B, one must first get halfway there. But to get halfway from point A to point B, one must first get halfway there. And on and on and on . . . until you realize that it’s actually impossible to go anywhere.
And yet we do go places. Indeed, thanks to your generous support in our ongoing post-campaign webathon, we are halfway to our goal. National Review is uniquely positioned to resolve the paradox that would see our politics caught between a radical, destructive Left and an unserious and unviable Right. Ours is no middle way, however: It is a conservatism that is tried, true, and tested, one that we have practiced since our founding in 1955. With your readership and support – on both of which we have always depended and of which we have striven to remain worthy – we can continue to practice it today.
There are many seemingly intractable issues in our culture and politics today. But of one thing, we can be certain: Supporting National Review is no paradox. Help us reach the destination Zeno argued was impossible by donating here.
