Added reference to his famous quote. Google Books, does this matter?
I have added his New York Times obituary. The article needs to be expanded explaining the significance of his worl. Capitalistroadster 15:02, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I changed two sentences: 1) the one that said Viereck abandoned the conservative movement because this begs the question that Viereck raised about what 'conservative' meant; he thought Wm F Buckley et al were 'pseudo-conservatives.' 2) the one that said his ideologies were difficult to classify for the same reason: he thought his views were 'conservative' and he raised questions about the meaning of the term.Bondjel 18:23, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it is fair to say Viereck was an early leader in the conservative movement, as he never was part of any movement-- He opposed Buckley, Taft, Chambers, Russell Kirk from the very beginning. I think it would be more accurate to say "Viereck popularized the term 'conservative,' but distanced himself from the nascent movement that took its name" or something like that.

Peter Viereck apparently has an illegitimate male-line descent from the Hohenzollern royal family of Prussia, as a great-great-great grandnephew of Kaiser Friedrich the Great. This descent can be traced on the website Genealogics.org. Viereck evidently had two children (a son and a daughter) who are listed in his New York Times obituary. The son is apparently now an Episcopal priest in California. There are also apparently some grandchildren. Windemere2 (talk) 21:20, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
