Heres a guy who wished he could have gone to fight in Viet Nam.... Shame he was too young, and didn't get to go and kill for Kapitalism. The Buckleys made their money, lots of it, screwing the Mexicans out of their oil- and when their wells were finally nationalised- they went on a protracted fight to save the world from Socialism and Communism. The old man was a CIA apologist and member.. the son has gone on to promote the same moneyed blather you hear here.
I like Chris. He's happy being the mediocre son of a misguided intellectual
