Goldwater: Lesson I
Conscience of a Conservative ^ | Barry Goldwater

Posted on 11/05/2008 2:26:44 PM PST by Nichevo

"I have been much concerned that so many people today with Conservative instincts feel compelled to apologize for them. Or if not to apologize directly, to qualify their commitment in a way that amounts to breast beating."

It's time to get back to basics, this is where it begins. Barry Goldwater's Conscience of a Conservative. You can get it bargain priced from Barnes and Noble right now for $8.99. Make the investment. We need to go back to square one.


TOPICS: Books/Literature; Government; History; Politics
KEYWORDS: conservative; goldwater; movement; regan
Anybody up for a Freeper Book Club?

Freepers can’t agree on when to sneeze...not to mention coming together to support one canidate...no way...no how....

They each have their own deffintion of “conservative”....and want no other...and anyone that disagrees on ANY part of their deffinition....is immediately exiled.

Pretty hard to get ONE person elected with this lack of compromise.
Good luck with that.

We did it in 64 with Goldwater, in 80 with Reagan, and in 94 with Gingrich and Congress. It can be done.

NO offense intended, just being conservative..

Your post is exactly what I need today. Im too young to remember Goldwater, but have always heard good things about him. Time for me to find the truth and somehow I don’t think I will be disapointed. Going to B&N website now.

Thanks again.

None taken and I don’t remember him in his prime I only knew him in his later years. I grew up in the Regan era. My grandfather introdued me to Goldwater and after my wilderness years I ame back to him and Buckley with a passion.
