Upon the Passing of WFB...

Have you, or are you still "leading a useful and creative life". That, my fair readers, is what I am asking myself and those reading my anecdotal scratchings while perusing the internet's usefulness. The above quote was uttered during an interview of William F. Buckley by Bill Steigerwald last year. To me, ultimately without reservation, it sums up a focal end one may strive to throughout life. An unimpeded path everyone may or may not travel, WFB seems to have led.

Currently conservative America can see Mr. Buckley's influence in the daily read of National Review online. Until 1990 of which he was the editor. If one is to make study of the American ideal of conservatism reference the names, Kirk, Reagan, Goldwater, and Buckley are legion. A hyperbolic rant from an erudite, wanna-be as I is perhaps unnecessary - but some things to remember about the man.

A staunch conservative can come from Ivy League halls, God bless it. Not every candidate that the RNC builds up deserves our backing. Wit and wisdom can be one in the same. Being unpopular does not mean you are wrong. In reference to types and stereotypes, labels and monikers, be not easily defined.

Thanks Bill...
