Buckley on Felt and Nixon
In his column dated June 3, 2005 entitled
Foul Felt
William F. Buckley Jr. says:
It was thought for some 30 years that Deep Throat did as he
did to preserve the honor of his country Perhaps that was the
precipitating motive of Mark Felt. But to agree on that point
requires that you agree that getting Richard Nixon out of the
White House was the supreme national concern, in which event
it would have been OK to shoot him.
The correct punishment for Nixon's crime was impeachment not death.
How does one go from thinking that
getting Richard Nixon out of the White House
was the supreme national concern
to that this implies
it would have been OK to shoot him?
But I guess logic is not the strong point for someone
who believes words written 2000 years ago prove that
Jesus is the Son of God.
