Entry: William F. Buckley Jr.--R.I.P. Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/william_fbuckley_rip#18203 Post contents: One only needs to read the sub-par writing on National Review's The Corner to see that William F. Buckley's once bright legacy is now only lit by dim bulbs: Jonah Goldberg, Kathryn Jean Lopez, Andrew McCarthy, et al. He lived a long and good life of wealth and influence. But he gave up toward the end, I think, only meekly raising questions about the direction of the conservative movement as it was hijacked by Neo-cons. If he wasn't an active agent in the demise of the movement he helped found, he certainly was a passive witness to it. One can wish that with his death, we will see a little of the "creative destruction" Neocons love so much when visited upon other countries and peoples, visited upon his magazine and the pernicious, in-bred think tanks and politicians that falsely worship at Buckley's altar. Requiscat in pacem, Mr. Buckley. And please pray for us left behind who must contend with your twisted progeny. Sent at: 2008 11 22
