Requiem aeternam dona ei, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat ei. Requiescat in pace. Amen.

Anima eius, et animæ omnium fidelium defunctorum, per misericordiam Dei, requiescant in pace. Amen.

HAHA! That’s a great drawing of him on the cover of Time magazine.

“Conservatism can be fun.” HAHA! Superb.

He’s not “dead”.

He was an inspiration to many people. Including Rush Limbaugh. Rush in turn was an inspriration to me.

That makes him immortal.

I'm wondering how he would have liked a discussion with either G.K. Chesterton or C.S. Lewis...

Cheers!

Words can’t do justice to the man...he made us think.

At a time when flowery rhetoric and speeches without substance are held to be more important than anything else, it is important for conservatives to keep in mind that we are about ideas, ideas, ideas!

WFB, we owe it to your memory to never forget that.

This is very sad.

It almost seems like an omen.

William F. Buckley’s passing signals an end of an era, and leaves conservative movement in a state of confusion and disintegration.

Yea, but at least we have John McCain.
