While I have minimal politically in common with Barry Goldwater, I do like one part of this ad: the recitation of the pledge of allegiance. The reason I like it is because they use the original wording (i.e.: there is no insertion of "under God").

Barry Goldwater in his later years opposed the rise of fundamentalist Christianity within the Republican party. While I think it is good he lost the 1964 Presidential election, it is a shame he lost that battle over the make-up of the GOP.

@Cakerolled That's no Cadillac. It's a 1963 Lincoln Continental 4 door sedan.

2 ways to tell:

1) Look at 15 seconds: the rear door is suicide style. Cadillac hasn't made a car with suicide-style doors since the 1930's.

2) If it was a 1963 or 64 Cadillac, it would have tail fins. The Lincoln has a squared off rear.

3) Google 1963 Cadillac, and 1963 Lincoln, and then you'll see.

I like it how it's clearly a Cadillac and you call it a Lincoln ... and your name is Caddy59

"America" is both dream and nightmare. Even way back then they knew that "America" only exists in the mind of the asleep.

I like how the tires of the Lincoln are squaling.....on dirt roads.
