You're too funny. Ironically, Barry Goldwater was smeared to the extreme in '64 by the democrats as a warmonger. Instead, we got LBJ. That would have been funny, if not for the tragic loss of thousands of American lives in Vietnam at LBJ's incompetent hand. That raises an interesting question. Had Barry Goldwater been elected instead of LBJ, how would this country be different? I suspect, but do not know, that we would not have seen John Kerry standing on a stage in Boston saluting and saying "John Kerry, Reporting for Duty." Under Goldwater, the Viet Nam war likely would have been over well before Kerry ever volunteered to serve. But, as some would say, it's a mute point, as Goldwater was soundly defeated, and we all know what LBJ had in store for us when he was reelected.

You're one dumb ass, absolutely clueless as to how democracy, free speech, and free enterprise work. Man, did you get that right! Moreover, you aren't smart enough or educated enough to cite Barry Goldwater on your own. And that. I think you are a shill -- a mouthpiece -- for an off-shore organization that is sponsored by, or allied with marxist interests, and you're spoon-fed a lot of the garbage you post. I think you're wrong on that one, though. He's a tool of Islamic nutcase interests.
