In the hopes of encouraging a more civil, and illuminating, discourse, here is another episode of William F. Buckley, Jr.’s “Firing Line”.
With modern voters increasingly eschewing both major political parties and becoming independents, let us look back forty years ago when William F. Buckley, Jr., Michael E Kinsley, and Charles Peters asked what’s wrong with the political parties.
“‘Just preservation’ stands out as the framework most aligned with the egalitarian worldview cultivated by left politics. This model emphasizes respect and dignity for other species and attention to the interrelationships between them, rather than the modes through which humans might profit from them. Just preservation advocates for ethical impartiality between species, such that we do not treat species on the basis of any positive preference or negative prejudice. It proposes a multispecies society with equitable distribution of resources and an acknowledgement of responsibilities to other species, as well as explicit consideration for the future of all species.
“…
“The principles of just preservation are compatible with socialist thought, and have been strengthened by scientific investigation, moral and philosophical inquiry, and a rational analysis of the failures of traditional conservation. In practice, just preservation would involve explicitly weighing the interests of current human, future human, and non-anthropocentric interests against one another when considering how to “use” nature. People representing these interests would make their case in front of a public trustee (plausibly a reformed version of our currently existing, hunter-dominated state wildlife and natural resource committees), and the trustee would make allocations based upon those resources.”
“This is the thing with advocates of nature rights, animal rights, wild animal rights, plant rights, etc. They expect humans to be radically self-sacrificing in the name of the putative ‘rights’ of nonhumans, and even of geological features, while animals and the rest of nature have no reciprocal responsibilities — because that is beyond their ken! In other words, the everything-has-rights radicals admit the truth of human exceptionalism while denying that it exists.”

The place of international institutions, their usefulness, and our place in them is as much as a question and topic of hot debate as it was half-a-century ago when William F. Buckley, Jr. discussed with then-Ambassador Daniel Patrick Moynihan the uses of the United Nations.
“Harvard University’s newly established Office for Community Culture (OCC) now holds more funding and resources than all three of the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) offices it replaced, Harvard Dean David Deming told The Harvard Crimson.
“The OCC, which was launched earlier this year, absorbed the College’s former Women’s Center, BGLTQ Office, and Harvard Foundation for Intercultural and Race Relations under a new sect of the office called the ‘Harvard Foundation.’
“Calming the fears of students who believed DEI was being eradicated, Deming confirmed that the funding slotted towards the Harvard Foundation’s rebranded DEI programming is more than all three of the DEI centers it replaced.”
The so-called “Gender Unicorn” has been around as an “explainer” for various letters on the LGBTQ&c. smorgasbord of queerness, especially for the transgender ideology, for well over a decade.
Since then, we’ve learned that their gender ideology isn’t so much a unicorn as a eunuchorn.

Over recent decades, both major political parties have been seeking to fundametally transform America under the heavy-handed guidance of an increasingly powerful government. Let us look back sixty years ago the last time a purportedly clever scheme was implemented when William F. Buckley, Jr. and Richard N. Goodwin discussed that new frontier of the “Great Society”.
