This is 2024. Bill Buckley is dead. The National Review magazine has changed hands multiple times. We don't have to let Buckley define conservative values. We don't have to show any deference. We know he was sincerely in favor of racism and segregation and all his "limited government" and "conservative" talk he put out in the 50s and 60s was more of a means to an end. Let the dead argue with the dead.

It is best when there is no blatant discrimination in the first place, but in a world where blatant discrimination exists, that world becomes a better place when the blatant discrimination is punished. The government is legitimately part of that. It is self evident and borne out by experience.

And that's exactly why it isn't here anymore.
If you can't explain why you think someone's wrong, you're either lazy, dumb, or wrong yourself.
