Entry: William F. Buckley Jr. as I Knew Him Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/william_f_buckley_as_i_knew_him#18314 Post contents: Errol, my boy, are you perchance related to Charles Maturin, at least intellectually and culturally? If so, that would explain your positions, perhaps most especially your declaration that the Eternal Triune God use Bill Buckley to whip those angels into shape. Of course, we must wonder which angels are fractious and why God would profit from the help of Bill Buckley. Is this some contemporary Gnosticism, the specifics of which are best, perhaps only, known to Neocons and other Imperial Conservatives (which group in every Empire features significant numbers of extremely cultural and religious liberals), and perhaps to various types and degrees of Masons? Is not such an assertion of Bill Buckley’s immortal skills not merely a harkening back to Emperor-worship (in this case, the Emperor not of the State but of the putative conservative organs of thought) but also at best utterly ignorant of even the basics of orthodox historic Christian theology? Like Andrew Capp, I hope that Buckley repented of his Masonism before his passing, and I also hope that on his deathbed he repented of his backstabbing Joe Sobran, and a few others. Who knows, but those specific repentances might have led him to repent of his entire course of work, which was slowly revealed to be forging a ‘conservative’ movement that was essentially the pro-Empire, pro-Mammoth government one that his beloved CIA coveted. Isn’t it interesting, Errol, that your diatribes to almost deify Buckley turned to hope that a serious accident would befall me? Which anti-Christ religious tradition informs such a mind frame?
