Who said, "Every good Christian ought to kick Falwell right in the ass."?
Barry Goldwater responding to Falwell's argument against confirming Sandra Day O'Connor to the Supreme Court.

You see, little Johnny, there was a time in this country, not so long ago, where there were Republicans who were not governed by right wing extremists hell-bent on controlling and screwing everyone. Yesterday's Republicans are todays Democrats. It's become all about the money and who has the power to make those with money, more money - ethics and principles have been tossed into a landfill somewhere.

3. Good post.
I guess the ignorance can be forgiven since the younger DUers have been subjected to one socially conservative administration after another.

4. The hell of it is, in Goldwater's day he WAS a republican extremist.
The republicans, following Nixon's lead, have dragged the country so far to the right that Goldwater looks like a moderate, today; and today, he WOULD be a moderate.
