Rising Hegemon
"...[A]s long as McCarthyism fixes its goal with its present precision, it is a movement around which men of goodwill and stern morality can close ranks."
--William F. Buckley, 1954
Sorry, Bill: you were wrong (neither for the first nor the last time). Men of goodwill and morality (stern and otherwise) disagreed; and not only becaise your condition precedent was synonymous with "demented pipe dream." Credit where credit is due, though: you seem to have at least anticipated the Coulters you'd unleash on the rest of us. Too bad you never did a damn thing to discourage them. Thanks for that.
By the way, people: the NYT published its original reviews of God and Man at Yale and Up From Liberalism yesterday. They're fascinating little time capsules. It's amazing how little the Conservative schtick has changed since the 1950s. Or is it?
