A government that is big enough to give you all you want is big enough
to
take it all away.
Barry M. Goldwater

A supremely brilliant man, Goldwater. None, sadly, have come close
since.


Do you know Goldwater also said:

"I haven't really got a first class brain"

His brilliance was that he relied on principles to guide him and was
remarkably consistent in applying them, especially in the world of
politics.
Reagan, too, was guided by principles, also lacking "a first class
brain".

Men with first class brains, such as Bill Clinton, John Kerry and Hillary
Clinton are completely devoid of consistent principles and lack the tools
necessary for true leadership. They rely on cunning to get them to the
next
step.


Goldwater was the greatest. I have two autographed photos of him here at
my
desk as well as other memorabilia. I even have a "Goldwater for President"
bumper sticker on my truck.

I wish another one like him would come along.


Upon receiving a can of "Goldwater" from an ardent supporter, he tasted it
and said:

"This tastes like ****. I wouldn't drink it with gin!"

Only once in several lifetimes...

Amen!


I had a "Goldwater for Halloween" bumper sticker. Did you know he had a
Jag XKE
customised by George Barris? Made to look like a jet fighter cockpit with
an
engine turned dashboard filled with tons of gauges, toggle switches, and
lights.
