William F. Buckley--Rest In Peace

Posted on Wednesday, February 27, 2008 at 02:30PM by Registered CommenterJames Douglas Buthman | CommentsPost a Comment

William F. Buckley passed away at his desk at 82 years old. He was a giant among men and his staunch advocacy of conservative beliefs goes way back before it was chic to be conservative. He taught Goldwater and Reagan. He was a revolutionary in his time and the National Review is a great magazine, despite my differences with it in ideology and belief. I didn't know some things about Buckley. He was a world class sailor and a musician who was apparently pretty good. He will be missed.
