I guess my main issue with this guy is that he fashions himself as some sort of a scholar. Not that the Right lacks scholars. William Buckley, Ludwig von Mises, Frederick Hayek, Winston Churchill,Hell, Giovanni Gentile (!), are all at least welterweight intellectuals. You might disagree with them, but they don't write garbage. Jonah Goldberg is a pretend scholar. He drifted into fame...

Robert Novak writes today that his column is celebrating forty-five years in syndication, it's the nation's current longest-running syndicated political column(a title previously held by William F.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- On May 15, 1963, the late Rowland Evans and I published our first column. That makes today (Thursday) the 45th anniversary (the first 30 years under the Evans & Novak byline) of the nation's longest-running current syndicated political column. It achieved that distinction Feb. 27 with the death of William F. Buckley Jr., whose column started 13 months before ours.

... which to eulogize the passing of the Pillars of Conservatism: Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan and William F. Buckley. Republicans are doomed to wander in the political wilderness until this generation of weak-kneed, no-vision, inarticulate, afraid-of-the-liberal -media politicians are replaced. Viguerie does not mince words when opening a can of WhupAss on the Repugs: Republican leaders...

Just because you use big words and talk slowly doesn't mean that you are right. William Buckley was one of those slow talkers but somehow I could tolerate him. I have little tolerance for George Will. His stature just shouts, “I’m smarter than you.” I don't know. He may be [...]

I’ll even grudgingly accept the reality that conservative Republican elder statesmen are regularly awarded these things.

Winchell is perhaps best known for his studies of Southern literary figures such as Donald Davidson and Cleanth Brooks, though he was also the author of a highly regarded volume about William F. Buckley Jr. ISI had just brought out [...]

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
