William F. Buckley Tribute

He was always vocal and never without his own opinion. The man was certainly born into prestige -- the Skull and Bones membership says enough. But he did take some controversial opinions, like his statements made on the Iraq war most recently, as well as his earlier statements on the Panama Canal ...I don't know if I feel comfortable in all his remarks on women's liberation or the civil rights. Sometimes he was downright wrong. But he laid out crucial elements of American conservatism today and it is important for the current administration to remember the limits (and the failures) of power, past and present.
