William F. Buckley, the last conservative to maintain any kind of intellectual facade died today. He’ll be best remembered for statements such as these:
The central question that emerges…is whether the White community in the South is entitled to take such measures as are necessary to prevail, politically and culturally, in areas where it does not predominate numerically? The sobering answer is Yes—the White community is so entitled because, for the time being, it is the advanced race.”
Not a great loss in other words. His only advantage above a Goldberg, Coulter or Malkin is that he was slightly less dumb than a bag of hammers, talked pretty and was able to hide his lunacy and bigotry behind a smokescreen of erudition.
