Barry Goldwater was not keen on what he considered a small faction
known as "Tax Shelter Christians" whom took in
donations and used them personally under religious freedom tax breaks,
Christians, allegedly, for example, like
Reverand Martin Luther King Jr.,
Reverand Jesse Jackson,
Reverand Al Sharpton

...as well as his own party and the PTL Club, Dr. Henry Kissinger, and Billy Graham etc.

Um, no, that's not who he was talking about.

Do tell ?

Maybe you should look into what Goldwater predicted about, welfare and the Great Society, and the Vietnam war. He was spot on.

He Dead

So he votes democrat then. Thanks for the update.

Yes, we know. However, the “left,” that NEVER knew him, suggest that he was “The first White, Christian, Nationalist.”

We're thankful he never became President. He sounds almost as kooky as Kamala.

How does he sound “kooky?” He was right about Jerry Falwell. The Christian Coalition tried to get Reagan to retract recommending Sandra Day O’Conner to the Supreme Court. They want to outlaw “Divorce,” even IF the husband is abusive, or cheating on the wife. The Christian Coalition is the ones that are kind of kooky.
BTW, Barry Goldwater was against revoking diplomatic relations with Taiwan.

Calling Barry Goldwater a commie atheist, without ever reading anything written by him, or reading his speeches, isn’t a good idea either. BTW, Goldwater was right. Goldwater would be called a pro-defense Libertarian, by today’s standards. He wanted to get government out of your life.

I didn't say ANY of thatabout him.
You GOTTA get elected. He had his shot. He isn't my focus here in THE NOW !

It’s a meme with a Barry Goldwater quote. It’s a response to Democrats that say he was the first “White, Christian, Nationalist.” That’s why I made it.

It's fine. Make all you want. I make what I want, too. I wasn't poo pooing on your meme. I just saw it 1st & said he has no part in the problems we face now. Unless Az's current situation is somehow his fault.

It was a good meme. I make the most ambiguous memes on this site, probably, lol.
I kinda shoot from the hip.

"& said he (Goldwater) has no part in the problems we face now."

Well, one problem we face now is INFLATION. & Barry G. had something to say about that, which affected how future President Reagan approached policy.

"Was Barry Goldwater so irresponsible when he suggested that our government give up its program of deliberate, planned inflation, so that when you do get your Social Security pension, a dollar will buy a dollar's worth, and not 45 cents worth?" -Ronaldus Magnus

Unless you're saying that somehow the inflation we are currently experiencing is not deliberate and planned inflation by the Biden Administration Actions and Policy in place?

Nearly 60 Years ago, a speech was given which is relevant to today.

My great great great great grandfather was the 1st. 😉
Goldwater was a Centrist "might have been". The Left, as usual, needed WAY MORE Left. He only won 6 states AGAINST LBJ.
Wonder Why ? DemoNcrats
AZ needs a colonic RN, btw.
