On December 9, 2004, William F. Buckley Jr. and his son Christopher Buckley joined the Goldwater Institute for their first-ever joint stage appearance to consider the future of American conservatism. The event was set up as a mock episode of Firing Line.

  • This guy was the last true Right-wing intellectual in the US. Ever since then, the Right in the US has since been in a steady degeneration into anti-intellectualism. Somebody please fill this void!

  • This is very funny!

  • No one is on Buckley's level. Let's pray to God that someday soon a new William F. Buckley will arise.

  • @lsnows Absolutely! Back when, thanks to WFB, argument followed a logical framework and did not eternally deviate and degenerate.

  • You must ask yourself why America has spiraled downward after his death.

  • @lsnows It seems that all the right is left with now is Ann Coulter.

  • @FAHayek89 Charles Krauthammer, Niall Ferguson, Nick Gillespie(Libertarian, but still), David Friedman, and as the other guy pointed out George Will and Thomas Sowell are all on Buckley's level. Sowell and Charles both, in my opinion, surpass Buckley. So, I wouldn't say that the right is "anti-intellectual" or that Buckley was the last "true intellectual" of the conservative movement.

    "Elsewhere he compares stem-cell research to nazi eugenics" ... and righfully so!!!

  • @WhenLilacsLast LOL! How elegant, how passionate, how cultured. Such sophisticated prose. When Lilacs Last. Such a name should communicate the nature of a very deep and thoughtful individual who clearly has an extremely fine tuned asthetic sense and appreciation for the finer things in life. Go read Dostoyevskys "The Idiot" and offer the bohemian hordes one of your world class critiques. LOL!!!
