RIP. He was one of those really rare principled conservatives. Much as
I disagreed with him on most issues, he was a guy you could always
respect. Blowhards like Limbaugh and O'Reilly and Coulter and
Krauthammer could have learned a few things from Buckley.

IAWTP. Buckley was conservative without being a wingnut. His points
were listenable.

I was wondering who would be the first to post this type of BS.

You win.

C'mon, you can do better than that.

1. "rare principled conservatives"
2. Krauthammer is a "blowhard"?
3. The post wasn't a pat on the back for Buckley but just an attack
on conservatives.

"Do you have a point of view on this?" The reporter responded, "I
represent the people, governor." To which Romney said, "No, I
represent the people, you represent the media."

Well, he was good friends with Limbaugh, but I don't know specifically
what he thought of Coulter.

"The central question that emerges . . . is whether the White
community in the South is entitled to take such measures as are
necessary to prevail, politically and culturally, in areas in which
it does not prevail numerically? The sobering answer is Yes -- the
White community is so entitled because, for the time being, it is the
advanced race. It is not easy, and it is unpleasant, to adduce
statistics evidencing the cultural superiority of White over Negro:
but it is a fact that obtrudes, one that cannot be hidden by
ever-so-busy egalitarians and anthropologists."

"National Review believes that the South's premises are correct. . .
It is more important for the community, anywhere in the world, to
affirm and live by civilized standards, than to bow to the demands of
the numerical majority."

"The South confronts one grave moral challenge. It must not exploit
the fact of Negro backwardness to preserve the Negro as a servile
class. . . . Let the South never permit itself to do this. So long as
it is merely asserting the right to impose superior mores for
whatever period it takes to effect a genuine cultural equality
between the races, and so long as it does so by humane and charitable
means, the South is in step with civilization, as is the Congress
that permits it to function." -- William F. Buckley

In his defense, he didn't maintain this idiocy in his later years.
I don't that he ever disavowed it, though, either. Hopefully he did.

Yes. I think you already know my views on most conservatives in the
public eye.

> 2. Krauthammer is a "blowhard"?

Absolutely. I also defy you to find more than 5% of his articles that
do not contain the word Clinton.

It was both.

And by the way, you shouldn't be one to talk on this considering that
your attacks on liberals outnumber the attacks on conservatives of
anyone in the newsgroup by several orders of magnitude.
