Anonymous, describes itself as "chaotic, disorganized, organic, viral, confusing, amusing and growing. It is in this structureless, leaderless, anarchic environment that many find strength when put against an organization which is based on, and can only understand, the most rigid forms of authority."  It’s one true purpose is to knock down the Church of […]

One of the few conservatives who ever caught my attention, William F. Buckley Jr., died yesterday.  He was an author, nationally syndicated newspaper columnist and TV show host.  He is credited for having founded the modern conservative movement.
