You know, if Bill Buckley were launching his career today he'd get hooted off FR.

Inherited money, prep school and Yale, and especially that faggy accent....he's obviously not One Of Us, right?

Exactly. If find really disturbing the extent to which the conservative movement has become hijacked by populist yokels.

Populism is not conservative.

It's beyond disturbing. It's almost frightening because it's indicative of the kind of ignorance that leads to hate that itself leads to persecution.

You just inspired me to a new tagline. Thanks.

As someone who grew up in the '70s reading Buckley, Kirk, Strauss, Hayek and the other greats, I've often said that Thomas Sowell is the only writer today who is worthy to be mentioned in the same breath. Light years beyond the Hannitys, O'Reillys, and Savages.

Trash Sowell, and you are really on my pissed-off side.
