...who helped save the nation.

Bill Buckley helped save the nation?! I don't know about that. He writes interesting columns and occassionally goes off kilter, but saving the nation?

THANK YOU!

I am sorry :{{{{

***Oh, kelly, not really. I am Catholic and pray often for God's will to be done rather than for the result that I want.***

You have it right, bahbah. So often the result we ask for is NOT what would be best for us.

Ref. post #49. Point taken.

[Reaganwuzthebest]

think the Pope still is quite mentally sharp, and with the resources at his disposal to bring and take communications, I think he is probably most capable of being in charge.

You could be right, it's just that when I see the man he looks so frail it becomes easy to automatically assume he's that way mentally as well. He's never really been the same physically after that assassination attempt to begin with.

Do you want to go to Church next weekend? I like the San Fernando Mission. Creaky old pews and good loud priests.

[Common Tator]

What is the difference between Ted Turner and William F. Buckley..

There is none. They will say anything to get attention.

[SeaBiscuit]

I don't think Buckley meant this in quite the way the title suggests, but I do think it's a lousy piece, the premise is deliberately provocative. I didn't think Buckley was that hard up for readers..

---Wm F Buckley - buffoon - period!---

anyone that would call WFB a buffoon needs to pay closer attention to the subject at hand.

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

Now I feel awful. Please just rephrase what you had to say. I know it's important.

[trisham]

Buckley sure doesn't!!! being such a "devout Catholic" and all! LMAO

*************

It is for God to decide who is or is not a devout Catholic.

[Blood of Tyrants]

It is God's timing, not ours.

[Larry Lucido]

He did more to move the nation to the right with National Review that all the Birchers and American Mercury folks could have ever imagined in their wildest wet dreams. Yes, he had a role. Just my opinion, obviously not yours.

[kellynla]

LOL

well we've got some pretty good Irish priests down here in OC...
they give an inspiring, thought provoking and succinct homily...

[BobS]

"anyone that would call WFB a buffoon needs to pay closer attention to the subject at hand."

You must immediately BOW DOWM and ask for forgiveness from us:) And no pharting is allowed.

[kellynla]

Correctomundo!

[Moonmad27]

I pray that he will soon be out of his misery. If people on this thread disagree, that's fine - we can have different opinions on the subject. It's not in our hands anyway.

[Larry Lucido]

BTW, I think Buckley and Chambers blew it big time by discounting the contributions of Ayn Rand, losing a potential ally (notwithstanding her own peculiarities). We all make mistakes on our respective paths.

[kellynla]

"It is for God to decide who is or is not a devout Catholic."


exactly...and I and no one else here knows how "devout" a Catholic Buckley is...although he definitely could use some tutoring regarding Catholicism and praying for folks...LOL

BTW I think it's safe to say that Hitler was not a "devout Catholic"
