The other Barry...

Message from Dr. Jack Wheeler at ToThePointNews.com

Fifty years ago, the other Barry wrote down his dream. Just think of how much greater, how much safer, how much richer, and how much freer we would all be today if Americans had the brains and courage back then to put him in the White House instead of his precise opposite. Here is Barry's Dream:

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 have failed 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 be attacked for neglecting my constituents' 'interests,' I shall reply that I was informed that their main interest is liberty, and in that cause I am doing the very best I can.

This was the dream, the pledge to America, of Barry Goldwater (1909-1998). You'll find these words on page 15 of his book, written in 1960, The Conscience of a Conservative.

The long walk

Rush basically confirmed all this today...even hinted at some of the more radical predictions in the second and third article below:

Politico: Obama isolated ahead of 2012

The Next Set Of Cracks Appear…

White House: Obama Conducting Reign of Terror

It's startin' to hit the fan, folks! (We knew it would...)

Even foreign leaders wonder if Obama is insane and why he's been unwilling to listen to either "reason" or "logic" ...

In 1974, Senator Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania, Congressman John Rhodes of Arizona, and senior Senator from Arizona Barry Goldwater took the "long walk" over to President Nixon's office to tell him that he must resign. It's either this or Article 25, Section 4.
