William F. Buckley (November 24, 1925 – February 27, 2008) was an American political commentator from the 20th Century. A prominent conservative in a time when that seemed almost oxymoronic, Buckley is sometimes seen as an ancestor of the modern American right-wing, although in many ways he differs radically from the modern right. Most especially, his was an intellectual conservatism; he matriculated at Yale University and became well known for his erudition and powerful argumentative skills. As you will read below, he was mostly full of horseshit, but then again, this is the American brand of intellectualism we're dealing with.

abstract
  • William F. Buckley (November 24, 1925 – February 27, 2008) was an American political commentator from the 20th Century. A prominent conservative in a time when that seemed almost oxymoronic, Buckley is sometimes seen as an ancestor of the modern American right-wing, although in many ways he differs radically from the modern right. Most especially, his was an intellectual conservatism; he matriculated at Yale University and became well known for his erudition and powerful argumentative skills. As you will read below, he was mostly full of horseshit, but then again, this is the American brand of intellectualism we're dealing with. Buckley's prominent works included God and Man at Yale, a critique of secularism in academia; Firing Line, a political debate TV show in which he displayed both the aforementioned erudition and a willingness to actually listen to his opponents; and most importantly, the conservative paper National Review. (You can see how well the National Review has turned out without him.)
