re: #164 iceweasel
That is important. I was thinking about it the other day. I think many of us need to point this out— the revisionist thinking regarding Goldwater and Buckley.
I think maybe 90 percent of the people here who call themselves Goldwater conservatives don’t know much about Goldwater.IMO Goldwater was sort of the Ron Paul of 64. People who now revere him don’t seem to grasp that.
There’s a reason why Goldwater lost. Buckley was what we would call today an asshole in the 1950s.
