Thank you. I think so too, 100%.
But what do the other's replies here indicate?
Are they as clueless as I am perceiving them to be?
That others don't see him as the vanguard of the new Republican movement Ronnie actually got the chance to carry forward is scary indeed.
I guess it just confirms our sorry state, like the fact that the majority of Americans can't name all three branches of their own Govt - now Goldwater meets the same fate.
I suggest they all read The Conscience of a Conservative, the most widely read political manifesto of the 20th century, to remember how we got here in the first place. No Goldwater, no Reagan (and probably no Nixon in '68 for that matter). Goldwater's leadership started this prairie fire.
