Entry: William F. Buckley Jr.--R.I.P. Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/william_fbuckley_rip#18249 Post contents: While arguing that Eisenhower was a Soviet agent was no doubt idiotic, it is hard to see how it is any more or less stupid than arguing that the entire Middle East can and should be converted to some form of republican government, via the military power of the United States. Buckley writing the JBS crowd out of the movement was an expression of a form of elitism that was the antithesis of the pre-WWII right. One can argue about whether or not he was right to condemn them, but it is hard to see what about JBS was so much more apalling than what the neocons have been propagating and spewing for the last thirty years.
