All too many of the founding lights of the Conservative Movement have left us. Now our generation must take its place and lead the Movement toward a bright day of success. Continue to honor their memory and vindicate the principles for which they, a great personal sacrifice, battled. Willian Rusher was one such light. RIP

The term "renaissance man" may be overworked, but Bill Rusher, like Bill Buckley, truly earned it. A great conservative. R.I.P.

Rusher had a better political instinct than WFB. He avoided the trendy issues and did not care what the Left elites thought of him.

Bill Rusher--R.I.P.
