A flag goes up whenever someone says they are a “Goldwater conservative” or something along those lines.
Goldwater was a FAILURE. He was the GOP’s McGovern, Mondale and Dukakis all rolled-into-one. Conservatism DID NOT actually exist before Ronald Reagan recognized that without social conservatism there was nothing.
I don’t know what that means.
I’m 36. I was born in 1973. I was raised by FDR worshippers in West Virginia. Then educated by godless multiculturalists at Princeton. Fell into the Princeton Tory crowd. Went to law school. Lived in DC. Got married. Moved to Texas. Here I am.
Would you like my social security number? Perhaps some references?
