Today is a sad day in the history of the modern conservative movement as the conservative patriarch, William F. Buckley, went to meet the lord today in the private study in his home in Connecticut.
Who ever has been or has become a conservative got there by reading the writings of Mr. Buckley starting with his tome, "God And Man At Yale", the journal of conservative thought, National Review and watching the debates on "Firing Line" which was on PBS of all networks!
No doubt that Mr. Buckley was not only a friend of Ronald Reagan but one of his mentors. And both men did more than most of us ever could hope to do to make modern conservatism the mainstream of politics in the United States.
I for one am glad that Mr. Buckley's writings, telelvision appearances and National Review live on, a living teaching tool for those who are confused by today's events.
Thank God for William F. Buckley and all that he accomplished in His name here on Earth.
