I met the Senator in his home on Thunderbird Road in Phoenix. He made me a true believer then and now.

Senator Barry Goldwater wrote in The Conscience of a Conservative: "I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, For I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them. It is not to inaugurate new programs, but to cancel old ones that do violence to the Constitution, or that have failed in their purpose, or that impose on the people an unwarranted financial burden. I will not attempt to discover whether legislation is ‘needed' before I have first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible. And if I should later be attacked for neglecting my constituents' interests, I shall reply that I was informed their main interest is liberty and that in that doing the very best I can”

It was true then in the sixties and is now especially true since Congress persists in taking cash from The Social Security Trust Fund and leaving in place IOU's.Earlydetection (talk) 16:45, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
