William F. Buckley Jr

It was a long time ago, the late '60s when I got my first subscription to National Review

Back then as we all know there was no internet so the magazine deliverd to my door was a relief from the nonsense that permaniated the babble of the day.

Mr. Buckley brought conservatism a steady ideological intellect that challenged the left on every level.

He did it with suble humor and reason, qualities that I admire and fall short of emulating.

Not to mention his vast vocabulary that more than once sent me to the dictionary.

A good column, A Life Athwart History by George F. Will is a really good read.

Charlie Rose - An Appreciation of William F. Buckley

As always, well chosen words, and wisdom.

Muslims Gone Wild in Denmark

What did it take.

3000 years for Europe to become a civil and reasonably prosperous place to live. Europe has a rich history of intellect, art and culture.

It was a diffcult road, not always enlightened, but I believe it is about time for Europe to enjoy the fruits of its labor to todays status, a tolerant and free democracy.

Well, that tolerance was not without a price, and seems there should be some rethinking on that subject.

We cannot have a civil society when we invite barbarians who do not understand Western Culture of free expression, exchange of ideas and free press.



Muslims Let Loose in Denmark

How many times will it take for us to get it?
Islamic society is just not agreeable with Western norms of mutual respect.

How does Iran or Gaza City
fit in to this mess?

Long story short, they don't fit into this, unless it is in the most damaging wayl

Maybe Iran's Amanutjob and Hamas should pay better attention to the problems in their own backyard.
