Many thanks.

Thank you very much for posting this.

I think I agree with naomi

The Catholic priest is a moron. Full of anger.

Miss Ahh Gee , a wolf in she /her clothing ,

I love Ira on Firing Line so much. All of the debate episodes with him are SO fun.

Abhorrtion as it were.

The most intelligent show on TV of its day...not saying much but it's a fact.

You can see the pro-choice bias on the media side, just by the length of time they're giving Naomi wolf. William Buckley keeps cutting off Helen Alvare at every chance he gets!! .. Totally baised, just like the media is today. 😢😢😢

And according to Naomi Wolfe murdering an unborn child is ok as long as the murderer feels remorse wtf !?!?

Naomi Wolfe’s self deception & intellectual dishonesty is off the charts.

Neuhaus is extremely rude and abrasive. So amazing that a Catholic has such rigid beliefs on human sexuality and yet his church clergy is full of homosexuals who are active!

I once played (organ) at an adult confirmation service which Bishop Spong presided over. He was one of the most down to earth, kind, loving, and uplifting clerics I have ever met, and I have played in churches for 25 years.

Amazing to see this so many years later and know who was right and who was totally wrong. Buckley and the NR destroyed the real conservative movement.

Abortion is evil. Evil people want it to be “okay.” They have to put their guilt on the people who say it’s evil. They make me sick.

I knew a man who became frustrated with his landlord. A fire broke out of an electrical nature. The source of the fire. Romex making contact with a nail causing the framing and plywood to ignite? The Television melted. The local college paper featured a front page photograph of the melted TV. Atop it was a copy of Bonfires of the Vanities. This tenant was an original customer of a coffee shop that became a franchise. Other original customer heard of his situation. Go Fund Me pages were not around them. Yet a placard was placed on a bank window appealing for funds for this man. The other original customers put up flyers with the pitch. "Let's keep this friendly face in the neighborhood." This episode of firing line evoked this recollection.

Never heard of Strategic Hamlet Initiative. And the disembowelling of Ngo Diem

PHBullsh...

My great grandma was a suffragette c1905, her daughter my grandma was liberal-ish in the 1930s -1960s, yet she was Christian and disgusted with debauchery crap during the 1960s! Therefore, my great grandma, part of the original suffragette movement would never agree with Friedan and Burstein et al, and denounced the movement had she had foresight

Marty Peretz was ridiculed so mercilessly for his rabid pro-Israel bias that, after he sold his stake in THE NEW REPUBLIC, he moved to Israel.

It was all make-believe feel-good fantasy to begin with. There was no real commonality of interests, just a transactional relationship between the two groups in the aggregate. African-Americans accepted help from the one group willing to extend help, the Jewish groups felt an expansion of rights for any and all groups in the USA is a positive move and has some residual payoff for the situation of the Jewish people in America I rad the book a bunch of years ago. Interesting but limited and blinkered.

As usual, Buckley's barking up the wrong tree, but very entertaining nonetheless. Thanks for posting.

The US Right Wing is indistinguishable from a perpetrator group in the lead up to mass killing.

A superb & useful discussion between intellectually honest men, that appears now to have become disallowed. The precepts of Darwinism & logical positivism stand defeated, yet are still taught in our schools in deference to actual truths in both science & religion. A sad fact.

SOBRAN

I do wonder why the son was not questioned, as it seems plausible that Mister Simpson was perhaps cleaning up after his son to prevent him from being prosecuted. It seems odd that a man punching his ex-wife would suddenly resort to using a weapon.

They still talk like in the 1950s But I love the JSS thoughts

@8:12 is the most important part of their disucussion.

When seeing Bishop Spong's debates and sermons on this very topic from recently, before he passed-- MY thought was the same as pastor Neuhaus': NOBODY CALLS BISHOP SPONG on his ANTI-TRADITIONAL DOCTRINE BIGOTRY. Because that's what it is. It is prejudiced. He always mentions "science" and "modern thought" and so on, when he dismisses traditional evangelical beliefs. ESPECIALLY if those beliefs are sincere and fundamental. That is, once one still believes in traditional Christian morality or the scriptures, that person is labeled ignorant or backward.

A modern version of "The Terrors" in France.

Sobran was a Catholic Ukrainian cultist

Buckley caved on immigration and for that deserves everlasting contempt.

They both make some interesting points.

4 min mark newhouse thats what the catholic church and that was way more than mean spirited they commited sins against the first nations,thought they were helping them really just using them and stealing their land, culture, wisdom, way of life, stealing their children, why isnt he mentioning all of that

Sobran was right. So Many of us former neocons were terribly wrong. Sobran was a legend

Blames divorce and sexual rights for the impoverishment of black Americans without uttering a word on the mass incarceration of fathers, stagnated wages , the conservative assault on our country’s social safety net , and widespread housing instability is not only a glaring dissonance. It is the epitome of what Christ would call the hypocrite!

It would’ve been nice if they didn’t interrupt the wise man and let him speak

That shit was funny when Buckley undercut his point by describing a word that he said was hard to describe and then pretended to struggle describing it . Audience members were giggling. These guys were old by then.😂

_Realpolitik_ - THAT'S the answer to today's political problem!

Even at 99, he's on top of his shit.

Buckley just proposed activating the United States Marines to engage the casual coke head 😮🤭🤣

Yes those humanistic instincts are better met through the private sector, especially the innate need to profit off the vulnerable

I wonder if Buckley was ever on Crossfire with Kinsley?

Beautiful discussion.

I want to believe that this episode aired a very long time ago, but it wasn't and this is still very relevant today.

Fast forward to Xmas 2022 as I wish some of these individuals were still alive to see the final outcome? Southwest Airlines is the outcome, so glad we cut back on costs and not implementing basic system and process upgrades Race To The Bottom

Thank you for uploading this.

Pipes was certainly brilliant, but his writings and research were probably slanted due to personal experience with communism in Poland during his youth. He seems to focus on the influence of Soviet leaders and statesmen more than the social movements that resulted in these men assuming power. Nevertheless, a very knowledgable and articulate guest.
