There wouldn't have been a Reagan or a Limbaugh without Buckley, Goldwater, Chambers, Meyer, Kirk, Bozell, Rusher and hundreds of other scholars and activists. Reagan and Limbaugh are the first to acknowledge their debt, even as Kirk once acknowledged the collective debt of us all, writing, "We stand on the shoulders of giants" such as Edmund Burke. Indeed, I was present when Limbaugh thanked Buckley and the editors of National Review for the intellectual inspiration of his career (aboard the Princess, not the Cyrano).

Well, then maybe the paleocons should start supporting our highly effective Republican president, rather than bashing him while agreeing with the Left. Just watch "Buchanan and Press" for an example of this behavior.

Well yes, I agree.

Yabut, sometimes I do get the distinct impression that these entirely praiseworthy founding fathers of the Conservative Movement are astounded at their own movement's popular success at the hands of the communicators like Rush and Reagan.

Ain't nobody complaining.

One of the favorite canards of DU, and the rest of the lefties is all of us on FR are of one mind, agree on everything, and there are no debates like this.

Differences of opinion are fine, but I agree with you this one is not proving useful, is fraught with wrong information, and is getting silly. Let’s save our energy for the hard left that is trying to destroy this country.
