I'm stunned by the news that William F. Buckley Jr. has died.
I no longer consider myself a conservative, but Buckley taught me respect for the intellectual legacy of conservatism--a legacy he himself was a big part in establishing. I read his National Review faithfully every two weeks for over 10 years, and learned quite a bit of what I know about politics from it. It would be no exaggeration to say that there was no discernible conservative intellectual movement without him.
I got a letter from him once, in response to a note I sent him. I wish I'd kept it. I lost it, much like I lost a letter I got once from Ronald Reagan.
Réquiem æternam dona ei,
Dómine.
Et lux perpétua lúceat ei.
Requiéscat in pace.
Amen
