Entry: William F. Buckley Jr. as I Knew Him Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/william_f_buckley_as_i_knew_him#18280 Post contents: To Sam Spade: I don't know how this Strausskampf came up in the obits over WFB but let me say for the record: 1) I am not, nor have I ever been a member of the Straussian cabal; personally, I am more comfortable with Voegelin 2) old rightists like Kendall, Kirk, and Sam Francis often saw value in Strauss's work; neocons like Frum do not 3) what Straussians do in the name of Strauss probably has the poor man spinning in his grave; a critic of the "universal homogeneous state" would never support democratic universalism Sent at: 2008 07 09
