As relevant today as it was in 1960.

One of my all-time favorite pieces of political writings. Barry was brilliant and eloquent.

Goldwater was one of the few that deserved the title “statesman”.

Hmm...I thought “compassionate conservative” was a recent cave-in by #41

Ah, if only that happened, we'd have been spared LBJ's "Great Society," and America would be in far better shape right now.

In my first politics class I had a lib instructor who wanted us to do a book review. He had a list of 20 books to choose from. On the list was Goldwater's book and I chose that one.
I wrote up a nice report and when I got my paper back it had a C- on it. After class I approached the lib and asked him why he gave me such poor grade and the idiot lib told me that he really didn't like Barry Goldwater. So, I said, "Then why did you put that book on the list if you didn't like him?" He changed my grade to a B-, however he did get the last dig by giving me an undeserved C- for a final grade.
But, maybe I got the last laugh. I became a confirmed Republican and he lost that one measly city council race he ran in because he is still a first class loser.

The religious factions will go on imposing their will on others unless the decent people connected to them recognize that religion has no place in public policy.
They must learn to make their views known without trying to make their views the only alternatives. The great decisions of Government cannot be dictated by the concerns of religious factions. This was true in the days of Madison, and it is just as true today.
