Buckley is *still* the conservative I respect the most. Anything beyond his style is silly histrionics, even if I agree with the person.
But I was raised in such a way that it is *never* acceptable to raise one’s voice or use a mocking name for ones opponent or target. I loath what both this country and so-called ‘conservatism’ have become, even if it is a reaction to the vehemence of the left. Oh, well, Ike was the last politician I respected.
Ike didn’t do much. The country was on automatic pilot under him just as it was with Clinton. They overall legacies are positive as both were lucky.
