Besides inviting Kirk to write a column from his magazines inception, he had the services of Whittaker Chambers in the fifties as well. We need to add Chambers, Meyers, Weaver and Hayek to that list at the reunion as well.

The end of an era.
May he rest in peace. He died less than a year after his wife died.

Lucy here is a great one. Vidal called Buckey a Nazi.
Watch his retort.

It was painful to see the National Review dilute itself into a neocon publication that still claimed WFB’s patrimony.
William F. Buckley’s passing signals an end of an era, and leaves conservative movement in a state of confusion and disintegration.
R.I.P.

As I watched
Firing Line from my recliner one day, I noticed that I was gradually leaning further & further to the left in order to keep WFB upright in my field of view. I began to realize: that was because HE was leaning further & further to the right as the show progressed until, near the end of the hour, sometimes, depending on what the Guest was saying I suppose, he would be nearly HORIZONTAL (to the right) onscreen. What a sense of humor!
RIP...and thank you!

I think that it is good to also start listing the stellar lights that remain shining in the morning and night sky for conservatism.
Walter Williams, George Will, Thomas Sowell, Shelby Steele, are all still with us and Shelby is relatively young. Speaking of young, Jonah Goldberg just moved himself into the higher rank with the publication of Liberal Fascism a real tour de force that raised my already friendly opinion of him by 800%.
Pick up Modern Age or First Things and you can find that there are younger writers that are carrying on the grand thought.

God bless WFB. He is without peer in academia. He effortlessly devoured leftists with good humor, keen intellect and plain old common sense. It doesnt take much strategy to defeat a liberal; simply stick to the high road, keep the argument fact based, think outside of the Marxist box and refrain from being mean spirited. Mr. Buckley dumbfounded even the most indoctrinated (liberal educated) leftists with his superior, seemingly supernatural ability to send leftists to debate hell but at the same time having them looking forward to the journey there. He is the conservative standard bearer and his impact will resound in conservative victory after victory for ages to come. The planet just got considerably dumber. A temporary victory for liberalism, nee perversion. Nice.
