The American Conservative magazine.

The American Conservative (TAC) is a biweekly magazine founded by Scott McConnell, Pat Buchanan, and Taki Theodoracopulos, and edited by McConnell. It is intended to represent a traditionalist, anti-war and paleoconservative voice against the dominance of what its publishers see as a neoconservative media establishment. The American Conservative began publishing in 2002. The magazine's editorial stance is differentiated from most other "conservative" and "neoconservative" publications in its opposition to George W. Bush's interventionist foreign policy and his liberal immigration and trade policies. TAC also holds a decidedly more positive view of Europe than, for example, The Weekly Standard, National Review, or The New Republic.

TAC decided not to endorse any candidate in the 2004 presidential campaign, but instead offered the conservative case for five different choices. These included Buchanan for Bush, McConnell for John Kerry, Kara Hopkins for not voting, and arguments for the Libertarian and Constitution parties as well. It is believed that Mr. Buchanan stepped down as Editor of the magazine because of wide opposition to his endorsement of President Bush, leaving Scott McConnell to replace him. While McConnell had been acting as editor in chief of the magazine from the beginning, Buchanan’s name attracted more readers; hence, the title was originally his.
