The "father of modern conservatism," dead at 82
William F. Buckley declared war on the political left during Vietnam and the civil rights era. But even he rejected the extremism of George W. Bush.
By Glenn Greenwald [2008-02-27]

  • Buckley understood

    logic and argument. He knew the difference between a valid argument and a sound one, and that to reject an interlocuter's premises is not to find him illogical, but to simply disagree. I admired him for that.
