mass immigration, not taxes, is what will define this century. save the west.

From a political image point of view, the best thing that ever happened to Goldwater was being buried in the 1964 landslide. That way, we never had to find out what his crackpot policies would have wrought, and the rightwingers can continue to live in their fantasyland about him. At some level, there is a need for an effective government.

@wvfii LOL! Eisenhower, besides being a One Worlder/Communist was a war criminal and mass murderer...just search about his concentration camps...

Mr. "Destroyer of the Old Right". Mr. "33 degree Illuminist Freemason"

his outspoken defense of gays in the military and his criticism of the anti-liberty Religious Right earns him big points with me. Also worth noting that while I have a lot of respect for both Eisenhower and Goldwater, the two had very different takes on government. the difference between these two guys and the pro-wrestling silliness of the modern GOP is that these guys were not anti-science nor were they obsessed with an American past that never actually existed.

i'm not a liberal by any stretch (even though i disagree with Goldwater's 'states' rights' taking precedence over civil rights), but what i like about Goldwater was his strong libertarian stance on social issues, something SORELY lacking in the modern iteration of the GOP and, sadly, the Tea Party. so that quote about him "becoming a liberal" is most likely a misnomer by Cronkite; the guy was a true blue libertarian.

@wvfii Liberal revisionism by Goldwater's ultra liberal granddaughter. These liberals have no shame. I cannot wait until the documentaries coming out about how Jim Demint, George W. Bush, Michele Bachmann, Bill Frist were all closet liberals. This movie distorts Goldwater's legacy, particularly on many issues & his strong states' rights issues. All these movies about conservatives by liberals in hollywood can be summed up in one sentence: the only good conservative is a dead conservative.

BS. Goldwater was a 33 degree mason in a Scotish Rite mason front. He was one of the many rats sent to destroy the rise of the "Old Right".

@MinnesotaTwins24 No chance in hell!

Goldwater...the GOP's plunge into racism.
Goldwater was not a "Christian Conservative", he believed (as I) that social issues should be kept off the political platform. Unfortunately the Christians Right hold alot of power over the Republican party. Its parallel to the leftist, socialists who dominate the Democrats. There's no middle ground anymore. JFK today would not be considered a Democrat today. He was for strong defense, low taxes and smaller govt.
