Truly a great man. It’s times like these when I hearken back to the words of Whittaker Chambers. He said something to the effect that when he joined the Conservative movement in the 1950s (after having abandoned Communism), he was joining the losing side. As it turned out, he was wrong: Conservatism got a stiff wind and defeated the Soviet empire.
I feel very much the same way. Weyrich wrote 10 years ago that the libertines had won the cultural war, all tradition- alists could do was fight a rear-guard action. Still, he refused to give up the fight, even when he was dying.
