Although I support the war on terrorism outside of the United States, I believe the Homeland Security initiative is a total farce...And I suspect this group was influential in that mess also...
What can I say? I'm a Barry Goldwater Republican...
Goldwater was a small government, anti-Communist, nationalist Republican. ...And he was NOT an isolationist. Iow, he fits the profile of most "neocons." Perhaps we can dispense with the ridiculous and intentionally provocative labels and discussion issues instead.
Goldwater's running mate was Curtis LeMay. LeMay had no qualms about using American military power to influence other countries to adopt less malignant and anti-democratic governmental processes.
But maybe you're referring to Goldwater not in his golden-age, but in his dotage--you know, the pro-sodomy and gay marriage Goldwater.
