William F Buckley JR .... When I was a kid, watched Firing Line with Mom . That was the first political show that I can remember. Buckley was common sense first . I had heard that he died and two minutes later, received a call from Mom. She said : our boy died . I said : just heard ... Brings back great memories .. Called her back later and we talked about what the conservative movement was and what it has become. These people on Tv & radio that call themselves conservatives have no idea... No idea ...Forget about carry his jockstrap, they don't deserve to eat it. Today reminds me that I'm on the right side. Buckley was against this war early on. He had come out against Bush also.. Wrong war , wrong time, wrong place, I think He said. When the wannabe conservatives call me a liberal. I'll take it. I registered to vote as a conservative and voted for Reagan because of Bill Buckley. I did a paper on him Freshman yr ; God and Man at Yale was super. I remember my professor asking why Buckley ? You know how those Liberals are ..:SIB .... God Bless WFB JR .

Wonder what Buckley would think of Bush's immigration policy?

We use that word great to much. Everyday on TV someone is great. Gets to point there all great. I rather say he was dam good and a civil minded person. Save great for the few that have it coming.

"the bunker"
i must say,i`m impressed...

after perusing a few wacky extreme left wing sites,i was not surprised to hear some really vile crap thrown at the deceased mr buckley....

the same bunch that had orgasmic glee about nancy reagan falling...

i can't fathom the depth of their derangement.... but there they were, dancing on his still warm corpse.....

honestly,i was a kid when i first became aware of buckley,and to be honest,most of his stuff was a bit over my head...

his "almost" fist fight with gore vidal is legendary...and hilariously funny....

respect for a recently deceased conservative?....

very classy,guys...

i promise i`ll be equally respectful when the shoe`s on the other foot(all liberals drawing breath are still in play,though...:grins:)

I think Buckley, unlike many that proclaim to be the voice of the conservative movement was a live and let live kind of guy. His wife Pat became an American ciitizen She was born in Vancouver Brithish Columbia.. We Americans need not fear immigrants or immigration. Our great Country was built on their backs. America is the land of opportunity, It belongs to the World. Get up every day and go get yourself A piece of Her. Live and let Live ! God Bless America and all those who embrace peace and liberty around the World ! What do you think Buckley thought about the trialer trash wing of the conservative movement ? Coulter and Limbaugh ? The good old days were the good old days for a reason !

I did not agree with much of what Buckley had to say. But I give him kudus for being against Iraq, as every true conservative was. I also thank him for not falling into the Neocon trap. RIP.

I liked him and listened to him with my grandfather.

even though he was a conservative he had common sense and would not go against his principles.

Unlike some in here that go against every Dem idea no matter what without a thought.
