Truth be
known, conservative still isn't cool for a lot of people, notably people
who want the government to give them a "free ride" so they won't have
to work for a living. But William F. Buckley was the prime mover in the literal
creation of conservatism as a respectable philosophy for those who want
to do it themselves, without government help, OR interference. His magazine,
"The National Review," was for many years, the only journal
for conservatives to read. When he started it, there was a certain
"dearth" of writers who write from the conservative view because
there was no place for their writings. Isn't it amazing how quickly
conservative writers and readers responded when his magazine came out? Some
people think Rush Limbaugh has "received the torch" passed by him
when he died; they may be right, as witness how hated both Buckley and Rush are
in certain centers. A good "litmus test" for conservatives is the
amount of hatred there is for them in liberal circles. Rush and Bill topped
that list. We will miss him. Keep the torch burning, Rush! (Breitbart)
