Wow, this list is WAY out of touch with the grass roots. Rank & file conservatives do not read Goldberg, Williamson, Coulter, or Noonan anymore. And to not include Julie Kelly is a crime.

Well, I sure don't!

Nice list soiled by Jonah Goldberg.

Yes. For some inexplicable reason, John has given Jonah a life-time hall pass, and I just plain don't get it. As I've said before, I once owned a copy of "Liberal Facism," but I trashed it, because to me, Jonah is now the poster child for "cruise ship conservatism," people more than willing to lose elections if only to say, "sure, we've done nothing to save America, but at least we stuck to our principles!" Dinesh D'souza, who included an interview with Jonah in his movie "Hillary's America," has backed away from Jonah because of his outrageous attacks on Trump. We've all seen people lose their minds and become foaming at the mouth deranged over Trump, and such people are never more than self-righteous, holier than thou narcissists. His inclusion, (at number 3, no less), to my mind soils the validity of the entire list, I'm sorry to say.

Mark Steyn! No Mark Steyn?

Steyn used to always be close to the top. He doesn't do a regular column anymore.

David Harsanyi, Miranda Devine, Alexander Riley, John Daniel Davidson, Brendan O'Neill, Wilfred Reilly, and Michael Goodwin should all be on that list.

This really loses all credibility when you list Jonah Goldberg as a "conservative".

That goes double for Rich Lowry and triple for Kevin Williamson.

Three of the most ANTI-Conservative columnists in the business.

Truly terrible people on a personal level as well. Particularly Williamson. Effing scum.
