Best Answer

William F. Buckley is considered the father of the modern conservative movement. He founded the bi-weekly journal the National Review, and hosted the TV show The Firing Line. He was a persuasive critic of many of liberalism's key policies and ideas, and he articulated many of the ideas that became central to the conservative movement. He trained some of the future conservative thought leaders like George Will and David Brooks. He is considered the single greatest influence on the rise of the conservative movement in the United States, whose ideas now dominate talk radio and Fox News, and whose greatest political moment is considered the election of Ronald Reagan.
