Proof-positive that a broken clock is, indeed, correct twice a day. Barry Goldwater was SPOT-ON about the "christian" "right." In the statements from 1981 and 1994, specifically. Stunningly remarkable. One of those moments in which one can sincerely say "I can't believe I'm actually agreeing with Barry Goldwater." And I count myself among them!

On edit - I saw another thread here today that dovetails with that:

Seems to dovetail with the general idea expressed in Barry Goldwater's statements. To me, religion is and should be a very personal thing. Once you start pushing it into other arenas than personal, privately-held, intimate convictions held - and kept - within your own heart, there's gonna be trouble, imo.
