Death of a Giant

William F Buckley Jr  died today. He was a giant in the US Conservative movement, and respected by most people from all sides for his talents.

He founded National Review, and it is from their blog that I want to quote:

His accomplishments were almost incalculable. As George Will once said, “before there was Ronald Reagan there was Barry Goldwater, before there was Goldwater there was National Review, and before there was National Review there was William F. Buckley.” As conservatives — and as Americans —  we are all standing on his shoulders.
