A couple days ago Michael Savage in his radio show played several of Barry Goldwater statements - they were sensational! All I knew of the Goldwater/Kennedy era was that the "right man won" accoriding to the media.
This and how great John Kennedy was.
I wonder if the right man won now. Kennedy is often described as the man who prevented WWIII in the Cuban crisis. I wonder if it was not the other way around - a wise old Russian man giving in to the brush American (while getting Cuba and Turkey in return).

>>>All I knew of the Goldwater/Kennedy era was that the "right man won" accoriding to the media.According to Barry Goldwater too.
"Had he lived, he would have been a good president," Goldwater says of his late friend and Senate colleague, the Democrat he had wanted to run against in 1964."
From Barry Goldwater's Left Turn Washington Post July 28, 1994.

Either way, the world would be a much different, and better place today, imo.
The lbj/nixon era was a total disaster from the constitutional conservatives political view.
