Easily the most influental US Conservative political commentator, opinionist, author, you name it of the later 20th Century.

Sad news. One of the few mainstream conservatives with enough cojones to support legalizing marijuana.

William F. Buckley, Jr., a true intellectual , a true conservative, and an intellectual leader of American conservatism. He was an editor, a writer and could debate anyone into theground. He championed his conservatism without the trash, garbage and filth that the make believe slugs such as Sawn Vannity, the Drug Addict Limbaugh, Cockroach Coulter and other bufoons who only make believe that they are conservatives.

William F. Buckley, Jr., a true American who will be remembered well by not only the true conservatives by also by those on the other side.

RIP

Sad to see him go. I agree, to mention Hannity and Coulter in the same sentence is truly laughable.

JMS gets another English lesson:

Quote:

there is no "mostly unique;" thats like saying "sometimes always," its an oxymoron - its either one or the other.

The result:

Quote:

By the mid-19th century unique had developed a wider meaning, “not typical, unusual,” and it is in this wider sense that it is compared. The comparison of so-called absolutes in senses that are not absolute is standard in all varieties of speech and writing.

One of the greatest men of the last century. His influence and his ability to make people thing was legendary. Truly a great man who was willing to put himself out there and fight for what he believed.

He will be truly missed. This country would be better if we have more such men.
