Bill Buckley once said of Jeane Kirkpatrick: “She ought to be woven into the flag as the 51st star.” Soviet dissident Andrei Sakharov called her “Kirkpatski,” the name by which she was known in the Gulag, by prisoners of conscience to whom she had given hope.
Jay Nordlinger has an appreciation of the scholar, diplomat, teacher and co-founding director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies here.
That human institution which is structured on the
principle, "...all men are endowed by their Creator with
...Liberty...," is a system with its roots in the natural
Order of the universe. The opponents of such a system are
necessarily engaged in a losing contest with nature and
nature's God. Biblical principles are still today the
foundation under Western Civilization and the American
way of life. To the advent of a new season we commend the
present generation and the "multitudes in the valley of
decision."
Let us proclaim it. Behold!
The Season of Generation-Choicemaker Joel 3:14 KJV
"Man cannot make or invent or contrive principles. He
can only discover them and he ought to look through the
discovery to the Author." -- Thomas Paine 1797
"Got Criteria?" See Psalm 119:1-176
