Abstract:

Conservatism used to equal an undeniable love for God, family, and our Republic. That was before the "neo" conservatives came, before William F. Buckley, Jr. was chosen by the liberal establishment as the chief spokesman for conservatives. From the 1960s to today, conservative Americans have been led astray by Buckley and other false conservatives who want to interject the U.S. government into almost every aspect of our lives. John F. McManus, president of The John Birch Society, presents a critical examination of Buckley's life and career, including Buckley's: promotion of liberal causes, from abortion, drugs, and pornography, to the Panama Canal giveaway; connections to the CFR, CIA and Yale's Skull & Bones Society; selection of ex-Communists, Trotskyites, and CIA veterans to staff National Review; and unwarranted attack on JBS founder Robert Welch to prove himself "acceptable" to the liberal establishment. Don't let yourself be fooled! By understanding how and why the New York-Washington establishment embraced Buckley and his so-called conservatism, you can avoid the traps laid down by similar false conservatives.
