Where do you derive that, not from your links. He was a big influence on Reagan and his philosophy of government.
Goldwater was strictly a "fiscal" conservative and not really all that dogmatic on the principle.
Again, I don't get that - unless it is your proposition that a conservative should advocate government involvement to solve social issues.
He NEVER went after the true liberals; he just attacked those "country club" republicans in class warfare rhetoric that would have made Marx blush.
Unsubstantiated - he was critical of the influence of religious organizations transforming the Republican party into a tool for enforcing religious change upon the government and politics.
He had a very good point there. It is contrary to the goals of a democratic republic and in the long run, he feared it would weaken the party as it drove the center away.
