Jaffa is credited with Goldwater's famous quote ...

Well, shut my mouth and call me cornpone! I Googled it, and you are indeed correct.

At this point, the only rejoinder that comes to mind is:
HILLARY WAS A "GOLDWATER GIRL" IN '64!

A silly ad hominem, but that just shows how dumbfounded I am by this bit of trivia.

The founders told us in what respects we're all equal - in our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness (property would have been a better third word).

I take no responsibility for the modern construction of the Constitution - I abominate it. I would probably vote to impeach at least 6 of the current justices for amending the constition by judicial fiat in contravention of the article V amendment procedures.

Can we agree on this: if alive today, Davis or Lincoln, unlike Kerry, would know what to do with Arab Terrorists.
