Who are the worst dead conservative writers?
William Buckley would be my choice. (I have long used the term “Buckleyite” to describe the various phalanges of his far flung array of “conservative” groups. It’s a term that has been in public usage since the 1960s.)
Robert Welch — not Ayn Rand — would be runner up.
Together, Buckley and Welch pretty much closed the door on any adult discussion of really serious matters like race and Jewish issues.
Buckley — a CIA agent — cornered the market on the more inhibited self-identified as “high brow” element.
Welch — surrounded by Jews and financed by them — worked a different market: people who were more gutsy and less constrained by published opinion. . . .
