My political inspiration and role model…
My political inspiration and role model…
I’m often called a ‘Neo-Con’ because I identify as a Conservative Republican. Not true at all. In fact my political inspiration and mentor is the late, great Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona.
There is a whole collection of great Goldwater speeches HERE.
HERE’S just one of many of my favorite Barry Goldwater Speech moments:
Here is Barry Goldwater’s acceptance sppech at the 1964 Republican National Convention.
Remember ‘Daisy’ ?
Democrats have a long history of fearmongering to win elections and that’s one of their earliest examples.
The fact is:
If Goldwater had won in ’64 we wouldn’t be currently bankrupt under the crushing weight of the Democrat ‘Welfare State’ with its unsustainable debt load.
If Goldwater had won in ’64 we wouldn’t be under the jackboot opression of the current Marxist\Socialist Thugs in the USA today.
If Goldwater had won in ’64 we would have kicked ‘Charleys’ ass in ‘Nam.
If Goldwater had won in ’64 we wouldn’t be working just to hand over our hard earned money to the Government in crushing tax burdens.
If Goldwater had won in ’64 Fidel Castro would have been the first, life long guest at Club Gitmo.
If Goldwater had won in ’64 we could have brought down the Soviet Regime 20 years earlier and peacefully.
If Goldwater had won in ’64 we wouldn’t have ‘outsourced’ our whole damned economy and future elsewhere.
If Goldwater had won in ’64 we wouldn’t be overrun with illegal aliens who take jobs, affordable housing and public services away from hard working, tax paying American Citizens.
If Goldwater had won in ’64 we wouldn’t have a border problem–PERIOD!
If Goldwater had won in ’64 September 11, 2001 would never have had a chance of happening–EVER!
Get the picture yet??
It has often been said that in these dark hours and days we need another Ronald Reagan to lead us. I disagree. I firmly believe the Republican Party and America needs another Barry Goldwater. If the Republican National Committee would go back to enbracing Goldwater’s Conservative ideology we could not only begin winning elections again but we can win back the hearts, minds and trust of the American people.
If there was such a thing as a ‘Perfect Dream’ Republican Ticket for me it would have been Barry Goldwater as President and Ronald Reagan as Vice President. THAT would have been a Conservative’s hog heaven.
Rest in Peace Senator Barry Goldwater. THE BEST President we NEVER had. You are very dearly missed and will NOT be forgotten. You were a man of honor and dignity, a real class act. Something that’s extinct in todays political maelstrom.
“In your heart, you know he’s right.” …1964 Campaign Slogan and in the end he was right.
I do so love being a sort of ‘Perez Hilton’ of the Conservative Blogosphere these days.
It’s always a GOOD Day when you can piss off the Liberals and elitist asses- preferably BOTH at the SAME time too!!

I ran for public office at the local level last year and probably sounded like a nut case the number of times I said I was a Barry Goldwater conservative. I liked all the raised eyebrows when they figured out I wasn’t even born yet when he was campaigning. I recognize his ideology is timeless! As for the recent health care bill passage, Mr. Goldwater wouldn’t have let it get this far, he would have reminded us we are not a welfare state, we are a democracy of ablebodied citizens and we need to start acting like it. I wish he was here now to rally the (conservative) troops.
Hello to Mr (actually it’s Ms or Mrs.–Ed.)grumpy republican in West Virgina from really pissed off republican in la la land CA. Here in the forests of the pacific northwest I am the endangered species,yet there is hope. Everyday more and more of us are being morphed from betrayed and embittered liberals who cry out in the wilderness WHAT HAVE WE DONE!!! I pray that we can survive long enough to get rid of those who have hijacked our republic, and restore our land to its former glory. I remember the 64 election, and the issue that derailed Bary Goldwater. Indeed it was fear mongering from the progessive movement that got him. I believe like you that our country would be a better place had the conservatives been in power then. God bless you and your work.
With my dying breath I’ll fight the Socialist-Progressive threat to our Democracy. I pray for another Barry Goldwater to surface and save America.
