Wm F Buckley was a NeoLiberal Globalist just as the John Birchers knew! Buckley really showed this when he purged the National Review of actual conservatives and filled the leadership with the NeoCon aka faux Con followers of Strauss and Trotsky. It has always been pretty evident that almost all Yankee Republicans were worthless and just look what these types have done hand in hand with leftist progs aka Stalin’s useful tools towards destroying the Republic.
Why should we accept YOUR definition of “actual conservative”?
According to the Birch Society’s “Conservative Index” [now known as Freedom Index], a life-long racist (Sen. James Eastland of Mississippi) scored 96% — which means that, according to the JBS, he was an exemplary political who understood our Constitution and voted appropriately.
Of course, the JBS never mentions that Eastland sought and received KKK support during his re-election campaigns, nor do they mention that the KKK was on the Attorney General’s List of Subversive Organizations....No problem! Eastland was still “a genuine conservative” and “constitutionalist”!!

Incidentally, critics have included such prominent Americans as: Sen. Barry Goldwater, Cong. Walter Judd, Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer, Russell Kirk, Eugene Lyons, Willmoore Kendall, James Burnham, Robert Bork, J. Edgar Hoover, Herbert Philbrick, Frank S. Meyer, Cong. Gordon H. Scherer, William F. Buckley Jr., Patrick Buchanan, Fred Schwarz, Lee Edwards, the editors of the conservative newspaper, Human Events, George Sokolsky, Roy Cohn, Anthony Bouscaren, plus even many former Birchers such as: Alan Stang, Gary Allen, Milorad Draskovich, John Rees, William Norman Grigg, Mrs. Robert Welch -— and many many more.
So, is it YOUR contention that NONE of these persons was “an actual conservative” — because many of them associated themselves with Buckley’s position on the JBS?
