"I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!
The beauty of the very system we Republicans are pledged to restore and revitalize, the beauty of this federal system of ours, is in its reconciliation of diversity with unity." --Barry Goldwater

Well, even Goldwater was wrong sometimes. There certainly is no reconciliation in evidence here.

Is this the same Barry Goldwater who opposed Nixon in 1968, Reagan in 1980 and who gave Bill Clinton kudos for his presiency? Is this the same Barry Goldwater who later in life became a pro-choice supporter of abortion rights and who believed in special rights for homosexuals?
Yes sir, that's old Barry Goldwater.
Goldwater hit his high mark in 1964, just before LBJ destroyed him in the general election. The worse defeat by a Republican in the last fifty years and that included Bob Dole's weak effort in 1996.
Btw, who did Barry Goldwater bless as his successor? I believe that was John McCain.
