“Buckley famously back stabbed Buchanan, Sobran”
I liked reading Sobran. After a break of several years, I went to his blog and did not agree with his opinion on an important topic. I was disappointed.
It was a bit like watching Christopher Hitchens tearing into Islam, then turn around and tear into Christianity and Judaism. These flips force you to consider what is, and what is not, fair play.
I still remember Sobran arguing that we each need an anchor. For him, it was Elizabethan England. Democrats could flip on border enforcement and Trump could flip on the importance of Epstein files, but your anchor remained fixed.

Sobran and Buchanan were/are sincere Catholics and they could be partisan at times. They, and some Jewish opponents, had an ugly fight over some issues that I thought both could have easily ignored, but they obviously didn’t share my view. That could be what disappointed you as well.
