Hold Fast

Conservative scholar and pundit William F. Buckley has died. Rick Perlstein has a piece up in memoriam, titled “Why William F. Buckley Was My Role Model.” Though he was no role model of mine, I highly recommend Perlstein’s piece, as it provides a great insight into how Buckley modeled the way the battle of ideas between liberals and conservatives should be fought, contrary to so many of his contemporary cohort.
