Goldwater was taken down by the deep state because he loved America too much. He was cursed and maligned because he was right on just about everything. I worked for Barry from the early days of the draft Goldwater movement after the Rockefeller debacle, to the election. He did not flinch or hold back because he was a man of principle, and Faith. The great thing about Barry was that the young people Loved him. Goldwater ‘64 was a youth movement! He breathed life into the Young Republicans and enlarged the appeal of YAF as well. That movement gave Reagan a platform and eventually put a Conservative in the White House.
By 1967, bumper stickers were appearing that read, "Don't blame me. I voted for Goldwater."
Goldwater was exceptional. Remember the “nuke daisy” tv ad that LBJ (the absolute scum sucking murderous excrement who expanded the Vietnam war. Paranoid, and manipulative. SEE/Hear the tapes of his phone conversations with Sen. Richard Russell of Georgia). Goldwater did a great deal to create young conservatives.. for Freedom.
I shocked my parents when I supported Goldwater. Unfortunately I was too young to vote. 17 years old at the time.
Never trusted that lying son of a bi-ch Lyndon Johnson who said “I will not send American boys to South East Asia to fight a war Asian boys should be fighting.”
