I was told if I voted for Goldwater, we’d have riots in the streets and get into a long unwinnable war. Well I voted for Goldwater, and darned if they weren’t right.
Goldwater and JFK were very good friends.
Same thing happened to me. After all, who would want a conservative decorated WW2 Air Force general combat pilot over a filthy, corrupt, vulgar, race bating, leftist democrat politician?
From my observation of the flow of American history over the last 80 plus years, that 1964 election was THE turning point in our destiny. The Obama/Biden years are just the ruination of the tattered society remaining.
