Buckley for exiling the John Birchers and the Southern Agrarians and leading to Mel Bradford's being sidelined and to the ascent of neoconservatism and Con Inc.

yes.

Buckley is always in the wrong for being a posh faggot

I can't believe what I'm saying but I side with Vidal here only because Buckley ruined American Conservatism.

I hate Vidal more than I hate Buckley, so I'm siding with Bill here.

Gore Vidal was part of many controversies to the point where I think he was likely the problem in all of them.

Will Buckley and Irving Kristol killed American conservatism. Never trust Jews or Catholics.

AmCon must have been so weak that two retards destroyed it.

>Gore Vidal
>writes slightly preachy but competent historical fiction
>Buckley Jr
>writes spy novels about a guy called Blackford Oakes who meets the president

>>19827533
Buckley sounds more based.

>>19827392
Bircherism is a stalking horse honey pot. Always has been. Probably communist propaganda from the beginning, intentionally designed to castrate grassroots conservative action.

It was weak, because it couldn't supply a definitive moral core to its anti-totalitarianism other than vague humanism and reverence for "Western tradition."

I have a feeling it won't make the same mistake again. The populist, neo-Buchananites taking over the Republican party are a little more robust and explicit in their conception of "Western tradition."

>>19827392
Vidal for being a slightly bigger faggot.

>>19827448
The WASP establishment sold out to the Jews in order to route the influence of German Catholics in America.

>>19827392
the only thing I remember about Vidal is that he was slightly less extreme than Buckley. that being said, I don't read much into what either has to ofter.

>>19827392
Both.

All I want is an America run by WASPs that respects the Founding Father's and that doesn't let Jews in the country clubs or Ivy Leagues. instead we get a Republican Party that can't go 5 minutes without praising Israel and humoring every backwater televangelist grifter in the country.

A masonic pseudo-state? You have it.

I think he means original Jeffersonian WASPs instead of country club WASPs (s to spit).

The country needs to be run by republicans in the lowercase sense. I recommend reading The Machiavellian Moment and recapturing the actual views of the Fathers.

Sadly I can't tell if this is bait or not. We're not talking about nugrifters are we?

When Ron Paul, Pat Buchanan, and Wendell Berry die, the last vestiges of Old America will die with them. I'll throw in Thomas Sowell for the hell of it.

Think not what the Young Republicans can do for you, but of what you can do with the Young Republicans by radicalizing them.

>>19828159
I don't think that's what he meant.

bump

Trumpanzees are ironically the last bastion of American freedom.
