Barry Goldwater's 1964 speech accepting the party nomination at the 28th Republican National Convention.

Goldwater was the Republican candidate for president in 1964 and ran against Democrat Lyndon Johnson in the general election.

"I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue."

  • @dukesgrill Oh, come on. Having an enormous deficit, debt, and being an authoritarian does not make one "to the left of Karl Marx." These are the people who want more privatization of nearly everything.

  • @dukesgrill I was speaking socially.

  • @toddsmitts You've got to be joking. Every "GOP" candidate now, with the exception of Ron Paul, is to the left of Karl Marx, economically. They are all for big government and more government control. Now socially, I would agree that many of them are to the right of the Goldwater of his later career, who became more Libertarian.

  • @toddsmitts except for Ron Paul!

  • @toddsmitts Comes to show that the Democrats never had a balance on anything. Democrats are not better off. Never then, and now.

  • Ironic that pretty much all the the 2011/2012 GOP candidates are to the right of a candidate who ran nearly 50 years earlier.

  • @macdogq Considering that let them phase out the racist Dixiecrats (what party do ya suppose THEY went to?), and given how ethnically diverse the nation's becoming, I'd say the Democrats are better off.

  • @nord98 No, but they did express regret for their vote, unlike Strom Thurmond who defected to the GOP. Thurmond also tried to embarrass Gore by asking him to sign the Southern Manifesto on the senate floor. Gore refused.

  • Goldwater, and Kennedy were two true conservatives in different political parties. Libturds were rarely acknowledge, until the late 1960's when Libturds took over the democrat party.

  • @bbdupon Why do you think Goldwater lost big? That had more to do with Kennedy's assassination than Goldwater's principled stance.
