Goldwater was another pro-queer RINO.
He did reveal himself to be. Claiming that there was an actual constitutional right to be homosexual was a bald-faced lie. Also, not fighting back against the obvious smears during the presidential campaign showed his true face yet more.
The book was actually written by L. Brent Bozell Junior. Hence the actual conservative tone. I’ll still quote it due to the truth and relevance it contains.
