RIP, William F. Buckley
Thursday, February 28, 2008 at 07:40AM The conservative movement lost one of its intellectual godfathers yesterday with the passing of William F. Buckley, founder of National Review and author of countless books. Bill Buckley was the 
conservative moment throughout the ‘50s and 60’s. To steal an often used line, he made conservatism cool. National Review was a beacon for conservatives wandering in the wilderness – guiding them on a journey through intellectual discovery. He gave their ideas legitimacy and respectability, and usually did it with a disarming humor that made it impossible not to like him. His TV Show, Firing Line, was must see TV for a generation, and made him a superstar and household name. His accomplishments read like a laundry list: magazine founder, TV host, novelist, columnist, philosopher and even kingmaker. There probably wouldn’t have been a Goldwater or Reagan without Bill Buckley. It’s ironic that his passing comes at a time when the conservative movement is struggling with its identity (and presidential candidate). Rest in peace WFB.
