William F Buckley Jr
WHETHER you view William F Buckley Jr as the founder of Modern Conservatism, the original NeoCon, or perhaps even as a Totalitarian Socialist - you'll want to view these videos and decide again - for yourself... He founded the political magazine National Review in 1955, hosted 1429 episodes of the television show Firing Line from 1966 until 1999, and was a nationally syndicated newspaper columnist. His writing style was famed for its erudition, wit, and use of uncommon words.
When asked what he would do if he won the race, Buckley issued his classic response, "I'd demand a recount." During one televised debate with Lindsay, Buckley declined to use his allotted rebuttal time and instead replied, "I am satisfied to sit back and contemplate my own former eloquence."

In a February 2006 column published at National Review Online and distributed by Universal Press Syndicate, Buckley stated unequivocally that, "One cannot doubt that the American objective in Iraq has failed." Buckley has also stated that "...it's important that we acknowledge in the inner councils of state that it (the war) has failed, so that we should look for opportunities to cope with that failure."
According to Jeffrey Hart writing in the American Conservative, Buckley had a "tragic" view of the Iraq war. He "saw it as a disaster and thought that the conservative movement he had created had in effect committed intellectual suicide by failing to maintain critical distance from the Bush administration... At the end of his life, Buckley believed the movement he made had destroyed itself by supporting the war in Iraq."
