    For my Buckley/Bozell piece I didn't go enough into how off the rail (sometimes in good ways) Bozell was in 1960s/1970s when he rejected standard Republicanism for open revolt. Started praising Black Power, Irish republicanism & spelling America as Amerika.

        Bozell in 1970s as described by his biographer: "As enemies of the American civil order, Catholics should make their hostility plain to see. For example, they -- and especially the bishops -- should boycott patriotic and civic celebrations."

        Bozell: "The Constitution has not only failed, it was bound to fail. The architects of our constitutional order built a house in which secular liberalism could live, and given the dominant urges of the age, would live. The time has come to leave that house and head for home."

        The old anti-Catholics thought that Catholicism was incompatible with American liberal democracy. Bozell agreed! So he thought America had to be destroyed and replaced by what he called an Episcopate (the Christian counterpart to a Caliphate). A theocracy.

        Bozell tried to solve Middle East conflict by calling Manachem Begin. "Pretending to be a well-known American cabinet member, [Bozell] disclosed his mission to the Begin aide who answered the phone, whereupon the aide summoned Begin from the Knesset to take the call."

        "So authentic did [Bozell] sound as he outlined his thinking to Begin that it took time for the latter to realize he was talking to a madman." From Living on Fire: The Life of L. Brent Bozell Jr. by Daniel Kelly. Bozell also got money from church to solve Irish problem.

        As I wrote yesterday, it's easy but mistaken to dismiss Bozell Jr. as a freak or a clown. He was connected to powerful people and his brand of Catholic integralism remains a vital tendency with many adherents.

        I'll no doubt return to Bozell in due course but in the meantime this piece gives the main story:https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/bozell-buckley-right-violence/ …

        This is a brilliant essay. I didn't know most of this. How do you learn so much so quickly?
