Thanks
One thing I am thankful for this Thanksgiving day is the birth of William F. Buckley. George Will is too, and he penned an excellent column today commemorating the man who changed this country. He concludes it:
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Enjoy it, and be thankful to God for all of our blessings.
Buckley, so young at 80, was severely precocious at 7 when he wrote a starchy letter to the king of England demanding payment of Britain's war debts. Seventy-three years on, Buckley's country is significantly different, and better, because of him. Of how many journalists, ever, can that be said? One.Indeed.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Enjoy it, and be thankful to God for all of our blessings.
