950? Who ever got that show? It doesn't come in on any radio that I have. WTTT? Who are they? What? What channel?

[rmlew]

I have no clue. I'm a New Yorker. Do an online search.

I like Don Feder- that is the only reason why I ask. PS- hear about the recent Bosox pitching acquisition? I bet Yankee fans pray that little Andy stays?

I have more pressing matters than the cursed southies of Fenway. ;-)
I stopped following baseball, when I found a real bloodspot: politics. I'll watch the occasional playoff or final (Yankees in 04!!!!!), but I put baseball aside years ago. Speaking of things, I put aside, where it not docomposing in an overgrown clay yard on Staten Island, I'm sure my baseball card collection would be worth something.

For God's Sake, click on my profile before posting such tangents.

Buckley was a guy with money and some intellectual presence in the 20th Century but he has proved to be a net negative to the movement by selling out conservatives in favor of the Big Governmentism of the neocons. Buckley has betrayed virtually everything original that he wrote from the '50s.

You criticized Buckley as a "cold war fusionist." Since fusionism was Meyer's effort to reconcile apparently disparate elements of traditionalism and libertarianism, my comment about Locke and Burke was not a "tangent."

And I did check your profile page before posting.

I'm not sure you understand what fusionism actually says. To clarify, I recommend you read pp. 174-181 of The Conservative Intellectual Movement in America since 1945, George H. Nash, 1976. It provides a sufficiently detailed account of what fusionism is and where prominent conservatives figures stood on it (including Buckley).

Umm? If you have baseball cards that you think worthless then let us talk? My brother and I have quite a collection from the early 70's to the mid 80's. Private email me your cards. See if we can work a deal? Are they laminated?

[rmlew]

You missed the NYC joke. Fresh Kills garbage dump is the clay pit of Staten Island. As in so many other cases, my mother threw out my collection. (If no one did this, they wouldn't be rare!)

Personally, I think that Nash's thesis should be required reading for all Freepers, along with the Federalist Papers, Reflections on the Revolution in France (Burke), and The Road to Serfdom.

[Burkeman1]

Geesh I did miss that!!!. Sorry. Ughh. I bet you had some good cards!

[Burkeman1]

Burke's "Reflections" was so major to my thought (and Thomas Aquinas) that I can't express enough gratitude for them. But I must say that Buckley and "National Review" and "Commentary" were major influences on me as well.

When the Cold War ended- I began a journey that seperates me from some conservatives who want to perpetuate the warfare/welfare state. I tend to read "Chronicles Magazine" now and "The American Conservative."

[Bonaparte]

Good picks!

[rmlew]

I don't read "Chronicles" often, but I regularly read TAC. I think that "Policy Review" and "The America Enterprise" are better neocon periodicals than "Commentary", which is specifically Jewish.
