What his crowd (derisively called "Neo-Cons") has done has pushed conservatism past Buckley's famous description of "Standing athwart history yelling 'Stop!'". Finally the right has a vision of the future, not simply a longing for the past (which is not a bad thing, but not all that is needed to advance thought). Don't get me wrong, I like a lot of what William F. Buckley says. I just don't think he (and other conservatives like Robert Novak) have a plan for our current world, with America engaged with everyone else on the planet. The Right is going to have to choose whose vision they want to follow - Buckley's or Kristol's. Considering the love still felt for Reagan felt by many on the Right, I am hopeful they will choose Kristol's. Of course, I could be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time.
