This review is from: Firing Line with William F. Buckley Jr. "The Future of Conservatism" (DVD)
I just recently got to watch this. It's excellent. I only wish it (the program)were longer.

Wilson?!,
By Dr. Filthy McNasty (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Firing Line with William F. Buckley Jr. "The Future of Conservatism" (DVD)
In one sense, any Firing Line interview from the 1960's is worth owning as history if nothing else. If I recall correctly, this aired after the 1966 election and they discussed nearly the exact same stuff Republicans are discussing today following the 2008 election. It's interesting to hear how little has changed.
I was rather floored, however, to hear Goldwater speak fondly of Woodrow Wilson. Was this is a function of the time and a yearning for authoritarian rule? Or is there something I really don't understand about Goldwater? Buckley doesn't explore this point, but I was surprised to hear it. In the end, I enjoyed the program and I'm glad I bought it however there isn't much here that'll likely lead me to watch it a second time. Interesting, but not riveting.

This review is from: Firing Line with William F. Buckley Jr. "The Future of Conservatism" (DVD)
This black-and-white episode is a one on one interview with former presidential candidate Barry Goldwater. Although any Firing Line episode has a certain level of interest, this one was a real snoozer. No wonder Goldwater lost big-time. He was a pundit, not a candidate! If you like history, AND you like hearing political organizer drone on and on about prospects and candidates and vote tallies in the House, etc, then you may find this episode interesting. Otherwise, save your money and maintain an uninformed, romantic vision of Goldwater in your head, like I had before. What a disappointment. Oh well. Now I've warned you.
