General discussion

I wonder to what extent the radicalization of Conservative

Feb 19, 2010 11:14AM PST

politics has been the result of the passing of William F. Buckley.

I have just deleted my own discussion of this as being political in nature, but perhaps others could read and offer commentary on this article.

I always liked Mr Buckley, enjoying his logic and erudition, even if I didn't agree with his conclusions. I needed to be reminded of how critical he was to the removal of the John Birch Society (I was young) who this year are the co-sponsors of CPAC. The JBS are now back on the public scene two years after his death.

I know what I think about things obviously, but I don't know what others, particularly conservatives think. I want to know, even if I disagree with the opinion. Knowledge and understanding is its own reward, that's why I'm asking.

Exodus 20:25 - And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.

it might have been a rock with "nothing" carved into it.

maybe someone did use for your altar...then the altar would be nothing.

Someone laid their tool on this rock though...they carved the letters "n o t h i n g" into the rock.

You don't stand by the Constitution. You don't support the Constitution. You reject our government.

But IMHO not enough will, unfortunately. Everybody wants his spot at the trough. And the "education" system has destroyed all knowledge of the Constitition.
