NeoVictoriana
At one time, National Review Online was a worthwhile publication that had writers who were American in sentiment, temperament, and outlook. Those days are past and gone:
I remember thinking that out of the lot of the younger NRO crowd, Jonah Goldberg, at least, might be a worthy successor to William F. Buckley. I will forever remember how wrong I was.
The title of this piece stems from a recollection of a couple of the unwritten rules of Victorian society:
- Be loyal to your class; keep interlopers out.
- Never take pleasure visibly in anything; that’s for the proles.
Bill Buckley had a tinge of that, but his better angels usually guided him in the direction of reason. We are the poorer for his loss, and poorer yet for having to endure the twits that have taken his mantle upon themselves.
