Firing Line with William F. Buckley Jr. "Three vs. William F. Buckley Jr."
The Sundries Shack (Free subscription) | yesterday
Zo is right on the money. I’ve been saying this for a while now. It’s not enough to whack the President’s totalitarian policies, though they are eminently whackable. We conservatives have to start showing people exactly how conservative economic and social policies work in the real world. Don’t get me wrong. We should say “no” to [...]
The Lair of the Catholic Cavemen (Free subscription) | 11/21/2009
Few men in the English speaking world were as fascinating and as articulate as the late, great William F. Buckley. He was also a devout Roman Catholic who, until the day he died, detested the changes brought in by the Second Vatican Council. Enjoy this quote from 1979, ten years after the great destruction began. "As a Catholic, I have abandoned hope for the liturgy, which, in the typical American...

New Moon: The awakening of the new century’s first generation By Bernie Quigley - for The Hill on 11/20/09 From my point of view President Obama is the most intelligent and savvy of Democratic Presidents to come to power in the post-war period. He has a sensory intuition which allows him to catch up quickly on things and he is far better at external things than internal things. China ambassador...

Ever hear that one about 81% of Americans have a book inside them? Well I have, and it turns out, that statistic is utter crap. Find out why!

The first issue was published 54 years ago today by William F. Buckley. I only discovered it 30 years ago when I came to the USA. Of course in those days it was only available on dead trees. Nowadays it's online and we all take it for granted. From Buckley's Mission Statement in that first issue on November 19th, 1955 : Let's face it: Unlike Vienna, it seems altogether possible that did NATIONAL REVIEW...

As an addendum to today's utterly hilarious, ahem, "outpouring of encomium" upon the new Sarah Palin book by John Ziegler -- and Alert Reader Le Penseur's astute comment that much, much more Republican "encomium" will be spilled on this week's leggy-Palin Newsweek cover -- let's bring back one of the more entertaining DXM bits from last year's election season. It's compliments of...

Guest blogged by Frank Schaeffer Sarah Palin's memoir is a perfect metaphor for what ails America and the Republican Party. Her book is published by the Zondervan publishing house, formerly an evangelical family-run religious publishing powerhouse now owned by Rupert Murdoch. (Back in the day my family's and many evangelical leader friend's books helped put [...]

A CONSERVATIVE, in the best sense, sees the world and its inhabitants as . . . . . . an interdependent organism, comprising innumerable local communities and territories, each adapting to particular conditions. A conservative is someone who goes with...

Peter Wehner has some refreshingly honest and perceptive comments (plus tossing in a few from others you'll want to hear like Whittaker Chambers and William F. Buckley) about Ayn Rand, that third-rate novelist and audaciously self-centered "philosopher" who has received way too much applause from members of the conservative movement. Very good stuff, Peter. Objectively, Ayn Rand Was a Nut...

On Tuesday the precocious James Kirchick participated in a workshop discussion with the venerable leftist madman Joe Klein, now of Time, on the final day of the Jewish Federations of North America's General Assembly. Kirchick and Klein were among four panelists in a program devoted to "The Pro-Israel Lobby and the Media." Klein accused Kirchick of being insufficiently attentive to the nuance...

And I'm getting increasingly convinced that it's the Daily Beast website . There's good stuff there most days, but this week not only can you read Amy Siskind's Palinocrat manifesto on why Obama is a misogynist bastard (and Betty Cracker's takedown of her PUMA nonsense is a classic mainly because it's so easy that Cookie Monster can do it) but you can check out Conor Friedersdorf's truly weird mumbled...

Brooklyn Heights resident, former NYC mayoral candidate and world renown author Norman Mailer died two years ago today from acute renal failure. We thought it appropriate to remember the cantankerous writer with this clip from his 1968 appearance on Firing Line with William F. Buckley Jr. Also, today’s Brooklyn Eagle has an interesting retrospective on Mailer. Amazon.com [...]

Obama made a telling gaffe at a San Francisco fundraiser. In trying to explain away his poor showing among “lunch-bucket” Democrats he points to how they were ill served by the previous administrations. He goes on to say: “And its not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment
