  • William Buckley, a renowned debater and political commentator, discusses the Jewish Defence League's justifications for violence against the Soviet Union. He views the current situation as the most significant assault on the human spirit in history and criticizes anti-communist sentiment, arguing that mental and cultural genocide should be viewed as murder. Buckley also explores the potential of presenting dog droppings to the UN Security Council.

      @@fifthbusiness1678 No, I meant to write "people intellectually having conversations on television". It might sound odd to you, but grammatically it's correct. A stative verb such as intellectually, following the collective noun such as People, is a high english we use here in England, which, again, I'm being presumptive in saying so, might sound odd outside My country. Thank you for asking.

    "William F. Buckley has a knack of making you his ally."
    Cf. Sir Roger Scruton [to laughter and applause, after his interlocutor in a televised talk, a left-activist academic, was left with little choice but to grudgingly concede his series of points]: "I get this all the time. People say _I'm in danger of agreeing with you."_

      I wondered the same and assumed it was 72 or earlier, as I know Nixon was still in office when I was born (Feb of 72). I believe one of them also mentioned the upcoming mid-70s as well. Fascinating conversation to watch and still relatable today.
