#1 Uncommon clear thinking. Uncommonly welcome in a world of phuzzy-wuzzy phools.

#2 I grew up too late (couple yrs ago in fact) to see Buckley in mid power sweep. From what I remember he was awesome, and guests to his show had to be on their toes.....

what an intellect. Conservatives owe so much to him. I'll miss him

#3 Same memory here, Frank - I was stunned that I couldn't keep up with him - I needed a VCR so I could record and replay his exchanges - he was far too fast and his references and far too sophisticated, urbane, and occasionally arcane (to my experience, anyway) for a naive young guy to keep up with - and parse to full effect. One thing was clear - his opponents left hat in hand... with their head in it, lol. It's easy to admit he was one of the people I can point to and credit with educating me in public discourse and issues. I didn't often agree with him back then, young people are so, um, bulletproof, lol, but I was suitably impressed and followed his "pundit" career closely. He sure opened my eyes regards national defense and who our enemies were.

#4 I certainly agree about the continuing sagacity of Mr. Buckley. He helped dilute some of that cultural ooze we pick up along the way. Mostly, in the latter part of this article where he asks why all our agencies would need to fabricate the many malices this innocent had intended, this Mr. Sodom. He attempted to assassinate our President a deed we regularly sound out the Israelis for when compelled to. This guy had it all, all the money he needed and the complicity of the Euro-Russian Axis. It is the motives of the critics that have the malice and therein lies the motive.
