Some Thoughts on the Continuing Conservative Crisis (part 8)

Bill Buckley - RIP

What a day of reckoning this is for conservatives.

Bill Buckley founded National Review and hosted "Firing Line" on PBS for many years.

Buckley was irreplaceable and will be missed by many people across the political landscape.

Sadly, the Buckley's death further highlights the crisis of conservativism in today's world. The USA is close to handing power to a left/lib Marxist Obama. Rush Limbaugh, though still a great force in talk radio, has been marginalized by the MSM. And idiots and goofball weirdoes such as Michael Medved and Hugh Hewitt continue to give the cause of conservativism a bad name.


Even with all this I want to step back today and thank Bill Buckley for all he did and meant. His life was important and meaningful in a way that few ever achieve in life. And in death WFB will be remembered and missed by all true conservatives.

You were a great great man, Mr. Buckley!

Some Thoughts on the Continuing Conservative Crisis (part 7)

the Current Crisis -

As of 2/24/2007 it looks like McCain and Obama are going to be representing the Republican and Democrat parties in November.

McCain had the good fortune to be the target of a sleazy attack from the New York Times.  
Even for the New York Times, this was  a poor job of "journalism" - and an even worse piece of propaganda since no one believes 
the NYT's "reporting."

McCain as clearly won this fight with the liberal media.  However, the battle may already be lost due to the fact that McCain's financing is in deep trouble and he may end up not having the resources to compete between now and the convention.


THE BOTTOM LINE -

George Bush and morons in the "conservative media" (Hewitt and Medved) have created an
opportunity for Obama to win in November.  Obama is a radical socialist who comes from
the far left school of Saul D. Alinsky.

Will the United States really throw it's future into the gabage by electing Obama?  Why
not just make Fidel Castro our new Prez?  Or Hugo Chavez?  Honestly, is there any difference?
