Buckley, arrogant elite, were still alive to see how his legacy has degenerated into a collection of racists, torture apologists, pious nitwits and the terminally uncool.</i><br /><br />This drives me endlessly nuts and like other zombie issues, it just won't die. William F. Buckley's legacy was one of racism. The prosecution presents "Why the South Must Prevail" as evidence. Need any more (there's plenty)? I don't know if he would have endorsed torture, but since he openly sympathized with the brutal Jim Crow South, he most certainly did at one level. He was a pious nitwit as well (a nitwit if one who used a lot of big words). And though it's subjective, I think it's safe to say that Buckley was extremely uncool. Oh, and he was quite self-righteously hostile to homosexuals. So his legacy has not degenerated a whit, it is right where it should be. <br /><br />Please do not suggest that Buckley was some sort of Noble (if arrogant elite) Conservative who would be aghast at where his movement ended up. He was not. He was an asshole.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-59282744778646864832012-01-02T11:02:23.051-06:002012-01-02T11:02:23.051-06:00In the end, I think he’ll get to third, and that w...<i>In the end, I think he’ll get to third, and that will be a result of hard work, of pounding the ground.</i><br /><br />If you've been pounding the ground in the end and see Santorum, you've gotten farther than third; you're in the dugout.DocAmazingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-42794344321597476142012-01-02T07:31:03.006-06:002012-01-02T07:31:03.006-06:00"Santorum is coming from behind", though..."Santorum is coming from behind", thought King.<br />~ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®©https://www.blogger.com/profile/06252371815131259831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-23598841598182123782012-01-02T05:21:49.738-06:002012-01-02T05:21:49.738-06:00And hey, look out for Santorum shooting his gun.
