This may be a hard show to listen to. I imagine Rush is devastated. So sad.

[Bosco]

Rush is wearing a red EIB golf shirt today.

Did people hear WFB died... it is a bad day today

[Roccus]

Sad morning, AQ.

BTW, anything on the (m/v)ole front?

[Ingtar]

Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bidd’st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!

O Christ! Whose voice the waters heard
And hushed their raging at Thy word,
Who walked’st on the foaming deep,
And calm amidst its rage didst sleep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!

Most Holy Spirit! Who didst brood
Upon the chaos dark and rude,
And bid its angry tumult cease,
And give, for wild confusion, peace;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!

O Trinity of love and power!
Our brethren shield in danger’s hour;
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
Protect them wheresoe’er they go;
Thus evermore shall rise to Thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.

I know the Navy uses this, but Eternal Father (the original poem) still applies.

[American Quilter]

Sorry; didn’t mean to add a flip tone to the thread on this sad day.

I liked what you said. And IMO there's nothing wrong with a little cheer when we're sad.

Thanks, AQ.

Rush starting off with how much he was influenced by WFB.

[Eagle of Liberty]

While looking around for an article to use for a post on the DUmmie FUnnies, I ran across a statement made by Obama that just reinforced my image of him. It is here:

Oh NOOOOooo.

What a sad day.

Godspeed WFB, we will remember you with amazement and gratitude..

[Matchett-PI]

No! This is the first I heard of Buckley’s death! How sad it is for all of us to lose him. Sympathy and prayers for his family and close friends.

[EagleandLiberty]

RIP William F. Buckley.

Connecticut just got less CONSERVATIVE today!! I’ve seen his house in Kent! Nice home!

[Eagle of Liberty]

This is very sad. It's symbolic in some ways that the conservative movement really had died.

Don't think so. This is a call for US to carry on the torch.

[EagleandLiberty]

Remembering the Giant who taught me conservatism.

So True!! He taught me it, too — with his NR I stole from my dad.

William F. Buckley has gone to his reward.

He is making HEAVEN more Conservative — he is now there talking to Ron Reagan and my dad...:-)

[Vision]

Rush thought you had to be invited to read National Review.

Lol, love it, classic.

[Sensei Ern]

This is what I wrote on a website dedicated to stand-up comedians conversations:

I would rather not list some achievements from some web site. Instead, I will share what he did for me.

WFB started the National Review. While I rarely read it, the ideas this publication presented are the same ideas that have formed my conservative slant. His influence on Rush Limbaugh made it so one could present conservatism with humor, making it more appealing and easier to understand.

WFB aided in showing that one not need be a half-wit redneck to be conservative. He also showed that one can remain a conservative throughout life so long as one truly believes it for more than personal expediency.

[Arrowhead1952]

I’m guessing Rush will retell in it’s entireity how Bill Buckley influenced him and his life.

I wouldn't mind that one bit. RIP William F. Buckley.

Tag line changed for other reasons.

[Miss Didi]

We're with you, Rush. :)

Penelopesire, I just posted you this link on the Debate Thread...

The video of this morning's body lingo segment is here on the Friends page (just scroll down to play):

[Eagle of Liberty]

If, instead it adjusts, it will some day be molded into the same socialism that engulfs everything not conservative.

"Conservatism" is just a way of giving a term to the philosophy and ideas on which this country was founded. That philosophy and those ideas cannot be adjusted. They are a part of this country. They are a part of history. They are a part of our Declaration of Independence, of our Bill of Rights, of our Constitution. All one has to do to be reminded of Conservatism is learn the history of the beginnings of this country. What we need is an Awakening. What we need is an Education Reform. We need to start to demand that THIS COUNTRY'S TRUE HISTORY be taught in ALL SCHOOLS.

The only way Conservatism dies is if all Americans cease to remember the philosophy and the ideas on which this country was founded.

[McGruff]

Young Rush: I was calling National Review (the magazine) and I thought I was calling God (Bill Buckley).
