These three men are the primary figures in the formation of my political outlook.

1) Daddy
2) Heinlein, and
3) William F. Buckley, Jr.

Good luck, WFB, and Godspeed.

Cordially,

I've heard people claim that Buckley was the single person most critical to the growth and success of the conservative movement.

I agree that he was among the most important, but I think the person singly most responsible for the recognition of the correctness of liberal principles was Lyndon Johnson.
