Time to compare today's "conservatives" to a real Conservative.

Does anyone remember that Goldwater drifted to the left toward the end of his life? I believe he suffered from Alzheimers and/or strokes.

I still have my first paperback copy. I keep it in the same safe where I keep a copy of the Constitution and my 2nd. Amendment equipment.

"Barry Goldwater, in your heart you know he's right".

I wouldn't say that he drifted left. He did soften a few of his stances. At least as far as I know.

The future, as I see it, will unfold along one of two paths................. Or we will summon the will and the means for taking the initiative, and wage a war of attrition against them--and hope, thereby, to bring about the internal disintegration of the Communist empire.

Prescient!

Goldwater wrote that scenario 30 years before the fall of the Berlin Wall.

He was precient about many things. Going through this book was almost like reading a Nostradamus retrospective.

As his condition worsened, his gold digging 2nd. wife began to issue HER opinions in Goldwater's name.

Hello,

To give you an idea of my upbringing...my younger brother's name is Barry. Had I been a boy, that would have been my name.

Glad to be here, MOgirl

The ghost of Barry Goldwater? I hope I'm not violating any copy rights here.

Yes Sir. Got it when he called me about joining the right wing conspiracy to regain control of the government and roll back civil rights- about, oh, forty years ago. So far, everything is going as planned except that civil rights thing.

I have a sign in the back window of my car that says "Support Terrorism! Elect Kerry!" It gets a lot of double-takes.

It is, isn't it! I held onto one of my other copies of "COAC" as I watched the Berlin Wall come down on TV, and tears of joy and exoneration coming down on my shirt.

God bless you Barry, you saw the future and pointed the way for Ronald Reagan to go the distance.
