When you thought of the conservative movement, you thought of names like Buckley, Reagan, Heston, Gingrich, Robertson & Buchanan (before the latter two went a little, uh, “eccentric”).
But you never thought of the name Paul Weyrich.  Primarily because he stayed pretty much in the background, organizing, writing and think-tanking.
Paul Weyrich was the first president of the Heritage Foundation and served as the chairman and CEO of the Free Congress Foundation, as well as being one of the fathers of the modern conservative movement, along with the aforementioned Buckley.  Paul Weyrich passed away early Thursday morning at the age of 66.
The conservative movement has lost a helluva man.  Mr. Weyrich will be sorely missed.
