So long Mr. Buckley.

William F. Buckley has passed away at the age of 82. Though I can’t say that I agree with most of the mans ideas, he was at the very least, a well-spoken conservative who stood behind his principals and that seems to be a dying breed.

Some Quotes:

“I won’t insult your intelligence by suggesting that you really believe what you just said.”

“The best defense against usurpatory government is an assertive citizenry.”

“The Beatles are not merely awful. They are so unbelievably horrible, so appallingly unmusical, so dogmatically insensitive to the magic of the art, that they qualify as crowned heads of antimusic.”

“Mr. Bush is in the hands of a fortune that will be unremitting on the point of Iraq. If he’d invented the Bill of Rights, it wouldn’t get him out of his jam.”
