buckley, the group drew up its founding principles during a meeting at the connecticut estate in 1960. there were young activists who influence the political future. buckley's new intellectuals would swear allegiance to god and country rather than reason and capitalism. although buckley intended the organization to reflect confusion as to consensus of national review not all members were willing to go along. the organization's student head had written rand a fan letter a year earlier telling her, quote, at was shrugged was the fulfillment of a literary promise i began to see in the fountain head. a logical view of existence based on experience which i always held but was never able to verbalize. he and a few others fought to make secular libertarianism a prominent part. in a dispute over the proposed organizations they prevailed against the suggested -- the statement had a libertarian cast. for other secular libertarian's brand's pro capitalist philosophy was exciting and her atheism and remarkable. this type of conviction hit like a thunderbolt might take students to a group like why

anybody who had nightmares about buckley, this is it. >> can you provide any update on where health care is? >> i do not know what happens at the house caucus. we are all exploring the right way to go. you cannot just proceed as if nothing happened because something significant happen. there is a strong view in both caucuses that we want to do some good things in health care. the question is how do we do that? how much and how quickly? >> what are you exploring? >> there are different options. you would have to look at each. you cannot make a decision right away. how long would each one take? we do not want health care in the next three months. there are trade-offs. that is what everybody is exploring. >> speaker pelosi said that did you do not have the votes. what are the options left? >> you know there are a number of other options. we are discussing them. it has been widely reported that there are several and one does not have precedence over the other right now. >> when will there be a persist -- rent will be a decision about how to proceed? >> we cannot rush to judgment. we did not

in many ways and i think it was bill buckley and described it this way. it was as if roosevelt had got to berlin and poston hitler in the middle of world war ii. that is how strongly it was perceived by those in the military who were giving their lives to see the commander in chief toasting mao tse-tung. we might have a different view of that but it is understandable that you could understand somebody who put their life on the line. how they might interpret it and i think buckley straka near when he said that. >> there is a lot of things in the book that show how certain items such as the party platform are out there but ignored. what would you advise journalist now for looking at foreign policy and the military to do with your experience in mind? >> i think you have to say we don't know what all. we don't know it all to finish the book that covered four years and we don't know it all but it is time to sort of step back and not be so reflexive as we are in foreign policy. it is almost knee-jerk is to what each side is saying or not say or what they are do

buckley is gone and most prominent spokesman the limbaughs, o'reillies, and becks can be heard mouthing attitudes once confined to the violent fringe. fox heavily promoted anti-administration tea party events this past fourth of july, rallies in praise of succession. quote. i think "newsweek" has jumped the shark with this one. the vicious piece was offered by far left zealot rick perlstein. they didn't tell the readers about his ideology. >> i'm surprised you wouldn't understand what "newsweek" is. you any it's a news magazine. "newsweek" is no longer a news magazine near is "time" magazine a news magazine. they are journals of opinion. and they are liberal journals of opinion at that. so, why would they identify this person as a left off wing activist? because their audience, their readers don't care that this person is a left wing activist. i mean, they are in a fight literally for survival. and in that fight, they are aiming at a niche audience of liberals with money, enough money to buy the magazine. bill: urban affluent people. that's what john meacham, the editor of "newsweek" pu

march 16, hezbollah kidnapped william buckley a political officer at the u.s. embassy at beirut.he was supposed to be exchanged for prisoners that didn't happen. but hezbollah, and there was a trial in u.s. district court of a civil nature, not a prisoners of war, not of enemy combatants, but there was a trial in u.s. district court where the evidence came forward to prove and it was established and the court found that hezbollah was responsible for the attack on the beirut marine barracks and that it was sponsored by iran. that iran was the one behind that all. they've been at war with us since 1979 and we didn't know it. you would have thought as other things occurred, like the kuwait airways flight 221 being hijacked and diverted to tehran where two americans were killed, that might have been a clue. it might have been a clue when two hezbollah members hijacked a t.w.a. flight and forced the pilot to fly to beirut, eight crew members and 145 passengers were held for 17 days and one of the hostages a u.s. navy diver, was murdered. you would have thought that perhaps when four t
