Quotational Therapy: Part 47 -- Barry Goldwater, On Freedom.

Barry Goldwater, On Freedom-

Nobody should be surprised or perplexed when George W. Bush, conservative, talks about the spread of freedom in the world. This is nothing new in our nation's history, and certainly nothing new in the conservative movement.

Barry Goldwater, for example, believed accomodation of Soviet designs on the world was the wrong approach. Barry Goldwater, unlike so many Americans of his time who feared the inevitability of Communist domination of the world, believed in the amazing power of his own ideas:

"I ask your help, and the help of all Americans, so that an American president can tell Nikita Khrushchev: 'You are wrong! Our children will not live under communism--your children will live under freedom!"

-Barry Goldwater, 1964.
