Tremendous quotes! Hope you don't mind one possible correction: I suspect that the correct translation of Nikita Krushchev's phrase is "the cult of personality". This was a direct reference to Joseph Stalin. His address was (for the time) was a breathtaking repudiation of the Stalinist era and ushered in a slight but important loosening of the repressive Soviet regime. Krushchev, among other things, permitted the publication of Solzhenytsin's One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, possibly the first officially sanctioned literary description of the Gulag. Despite Kruschev's shoe-banging rhetoric, he was more liberal domestically than his predecessors or successors until Gorbachev.

"...I will not attempt to discover whether legislation is "needed" before I have first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible. And if I should later be attacked for neglecting my constituents "interests, " I shall reply that I was informed that their main interest is liberty and that in that cause I am doing the very best I can." (Barry Goldwater.)

Great post
If I have one thing to regret, it's that I was not old enough to vote when Goldwater ran for Prez.

"The only good bureaucrat is one with a pistol at his head. Put it in his hand and it's good-by to the Bill of Rights. -- H.L. Mencken "

That pistol needs to be smoking to salvage the Bill of Rights.

Hi. Stumbled onto this unique site when I was searching for a quote from Krushchev - Not sure exactly when either. But it was stating that they (USSR)didn't need to bomb or destroy America, it would be destroyed from the inside" I need it so if you have any ideas on how to find it. I've searched for Krushchev plus quotes, and several other searches.
