Thank God for William F. Buckley, Jr.

I must add my voice to the chorus that is celebrating the life and contributions of William F. Buckley, Jr. I had the honor in a receiving line of meeting, shaking the hand of, and getting the autograph of Mr. Buckley when he came to lecture at a university near my home town. By this time, he had been one of my heroes for years. I watched “Firing Line” every chance I got. Thank you, Mr. Buckley, for giving conservatism one of its most formidable voices of rationality and defense. Thank you, Lord, for sending Mr. Buckley our way. May his legacy be carried on.
