R.I.P. A valiant warrior and pioneer for the conservative cause. He will be missed. Prayers for his family.

WFB and National Review were what made me a conservative at age 18, even more than Ronald Reagan. RIP.

How ‘bout a short bio from Wikipedia or even something from NRO?

How sad. I personally owe much to him. He legitimized being an intelligent conservative. When I was a kid (the Sixties), and the leftwing teachers would tell me I was stupid for being a conservative, I would wave one of WFB’s books in their face and ask them to define some of the words. Thank you Mr. Buckley for turning the world on its head.

From NRO’s “The Corner”

William F. Buckley Jr. (1925-2008) [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

I’m devastated to report that our dear friend, mentor, leader, and founder William F. Buckley Jr., died overnight in his study in Stamford, Connecticut.

After year of illness, he died while at work; if he had been given a choice on how to depart this world, I suspect that would have been exactly it. At home, still devoted to the war of ideas.

As you might expect, we’ll have much more to say here and in NR in the coming days and weeks and months. For now: Thank you, Bill. God bless you, now with your dear Pat. Our deepest condolences to Christopher and the rest of the Buckley family. And our fervent prayer that we continue to do WFB’s life’s work justice.
