NRO: William F. Buckley, Jr., R.I.P.
NBC: Conservative Commentator William F. Buckley Dead At Age 82
Peter Suderman at the American Scene writes:
“He was a man devoted to the notion that both words and ideas have a basic, intrinsic value, even apart from the political and cultural battles to which they are attached. This was obvious in every sentence he wrote, every word he uttered. His natural talent with language was simply extraordinary, as was the depth and clarity of his understanding. He was not merely clever and smart; he was wise. Conservatism lost a great defender and advocate today, and the larger world of ideas and letters lost one of its greatest minds.”
Much like they did when Pat Tillman and Ronald Reagan died, we can expect the venom from liberals to spew like a river. Such a “tolerant” bunch, aren’t they?
