If George Will and William Buckley were on TV together I would watch it for a couple of minutes. Here's part of what Buckley had to say about Democrats boycotting the inauguration.

"But whatever formal concessions the Democrats come up with, they'd be protocolary in form. The dogged Democrat, convinced that his party was the victim of an anachronistic constitutional overhang 200 years old, would perhaps excusably deem it his sovereign responsibility to his country to get in the way of the young usurper from Austin, Texas. This could mean effective paralysis in achieving the kind of legislative progress on which the ultimate vindication of a Bush administration would depend."

Makes perfectly good sense:

We are rapidly losing our ability to discuss good and bad because we cannot think beyond obvious affects, to the long term cultural affects of our actions. Also, we are too imbued with the notion that freedom trumps all other considerations.
