re: your tagline...
“I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!” -— Barry M. Goldwater
So... wanna try that again?
The same Barry Goldwater who went down to a resounding defeat in the presidential election? The same Goldwater who afterwards did in fact moderate his positions? Thanks for proving my point.
