Goldwater is the politician most often credited for sparking the resurgence of the American conservative political movement in the 1960s. A politician (from Greek " Polis " is an individual who is involved in influencing public decision making through the influence of Politics or a person Conservatism in the United States includes a variety of political ideologies including Fiscal conservatism, Supply-side economics, Social conservatism

Goldwater rejected the legacy of the New Deal and fought inside the conservative coalition to defeat the New Deal coalition. The New Deal was the name that United States President Franklin D The Conservative coalition, in the United States of America, was an unofficial Congressional coalition in American politics bringing together the conservative The New Deal coalition was the alignment of interest groups and voting blocs that supported the New Deal and voted for Democratic presidential candidates from 1932 He lost the 1964 presidential election by a large margin to incumbent Democrat Lyndon B. Johnson. The History of the United States Democratic Party is an account of the oldest Political party in the United States and arguably TalkDemocratic The Johnson campaign and other critics painted him as a reactionary, while supporters praised his crusades against the federal government, labor unions, and the welfare state.

His defeat allowed Lyndon Johnson and the Democrats in Congress to pass the Great Society programs, but the defeat of so many older Republicans in 1964 also cleared the way for a younger generation of American conservatives to mobilize. The Great Society was also a 1960s band featuring Grace Slick, and a 1914 book by English social theorist Graham Wallas. Goldwater was much less active as a national leader of conservatives after 1964; his supporters mostly rallied behind Ronald Reagan, who became Governor of California in 1967 and President of the United States in 1981. The Governor of California is the highest executive authority in the state government whose responsibilities include making annual "State of the State" addresses The President of the United States is the Head of state and Head of government of the United States and is the highest political official in United States by

By the 1980s, the increasing influence of the Christian Right on the Republican Party so conflicted with Goldwater's libertarian views that he became a vocal opponent of the religious right on issues such as abortion and gay rights.

Personal life

Goldwater was born in 1909 in Phoenix, in what was then the Arizona Territory, the son of Baron Goldwater and his wife Hattie Josephine Williams. Phoenix (ˈfiːˌnɪks O'odham Skikik, Yavapai Wasinka, Western Apache Fiinigis, Navajo Hoozdo, The Territory of Arizona was an Organized territory of the United States that existed between 1863 and 1912 His father's family had founded Goldwater's, a department store in Phoenix. Goldwater's Department Store was a Department store chain based in Phoenix, Arizona. A department store is a Retail establishment which specializes in selling a wide range of products without a single predominant merchandise line. The family name had been changed from Goldwasser to Goldwater at least as early as the 1860 census in Los Angeles, California. Los Angeles (lɑˈsændʒələs los ˈaŋxeles in Spanish) is the largest City in the state of California and the American West Goldwater's paternal grandparents, Michel and Sarah (Nathan) Goldwasser, were Jewish and had been married in the Great Synagogue of London. PLEASE TAKE NOTE************ The Great Synagogue of London was for centuries the centre of Ashkenazi Synagogue and Jewish life in London. ^[1] Goldwater was raised in his mother's Episcopalian faith, though he referred to himself as "half-Jewish". The Episcopal Church is the official name of the Province of the Anglican Communion in the United States. ^[2] These details led the Jewish essayist Harry Golden to famously remark of Goldwater, "I have always thought that if a Jew ever became President, he would turn out to be an Episcopalian. Harry Lewis Golden ( May 6, 1902 &ndash October 2, 1981) was an American Jewish writer and newspaper publisher "^[3]

The family department store made the Goldwaters comfortably wealthy. Goldwater graduated from Stanton Military Academy and attended the University of Arizona for one year, where he joined the Sigma Chi fraternity. The University of Arizona (also referred to as UA, U of A, or Arizona) is a Land-grant and space-grant public institution Sigma Chi ( ΣΧ) is one of the largest and oldest all-male college Greek-letter social fraternities and a Secret society. He took over the family business after his father's death in 1930. He was both a supporter of "progressive" business practices and anti-union. The strain of running the family business led to nervous breakdowns in 1937 and 1939. Mental breakdown (also known as nervous breakdown or snapping) is a non-medical term used to describe a sudden acute attack of Mental illness such as

With the American entry into World War II, Goldwater received a reserve commission in the United States Army Air Forces. World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including The United States Army Air Forces ( USAAF) was the military aviation arm of the United States of America during and immediately after World War II. He became a pilot assigned to the Ferry Command, a newly formed unit that delivered aircraft and supplies to war zones worldwide.

Political career

Goldwater entered Phoenix politics in 1949 when he was elected as a city councilman. He first won a US Senate seat in 1952, when he upset veteran Democrat and Senate majority leader Ernest McFarland. The United States Senate is the Upper house of the bicameral United States Congress, the Lower house being the House of Representatives The US Senate election 1952 was an election for the United States Senate which coincided with the election of Dwight D Ernest William McFarland ( October 9, 1894 - June 8, 1984) an American Politician and with Warren Atherton He defeated McFarland again in 1958, but would step down from the Senate in 1964 for his presidential campaign. Goldwater had a strong showing in his first reelection in 1958, a year in which the Democrats picked up thirteen seats in the Senate. The US Senate election 1958 was an election for the United States Senate which occurred in the middle of President Dwight D

Goldwater soon became most associated with labor-union reform and anti-communism; he was an active supporter of the Conservative coalition in Congress. The Conservative coalition, in the United States of America, was an unofficial Congressional coalition in American politics bringing together the conservative However, he rejected the wilder fringes of the anti-communist movement; in 1956 he sponsored the passage through the Senate of the final version of the Alaska Mental Health Enabling Act, despite vociferous opposition from opponents who claimed that the Act was a communist plot to establish concentration camps in Alaska. Anti-communism refers to opposition to Communism. Historically the word "communism" has been used to refer to several types of communal social organization and The Alaska Mental Health Enabling Act of 1956 ( Public Law 84-830 was an Act of Congress passed to improve Mental health care in the United States Alaska ( Аляска Alyaska) is a state in the United States of America, in the northwest of the North American continent His work on labor issues led to Congress passing major anti-corruption reforms in 1957, and an all-out campaign by the AFL-CIO to defeat his 1958 reelection bid. American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, commonly AFL-CIO, is a National trade union center, the largest federation of He voted against the censure of Senator Joseph McCarthy in 1954, but he was much more prudent than McCarthy and never actually charged any individual with being a communist/Soviet agent. Joseph Raymond McCarthy (November 14 1908 – May 2 1957 was an American politician who served as a Republican U Goldwater emphasized his strong opposition to the worldwide spread of communism in his 1960 book The Conscience of a Conservative. The Conscience of a Conservative is a book published under the name of Arizona Senator and 1964 Republican presidential candidate The book became an important reference text in conservative political circles.

Goldwater supported the Arizona NAACP and was involved in desegregating the Arizona National Guard. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, usually abbreviated as NAACP, is one of the oldest and most influential Civil rights organizations For the National Guard of a State and other countries' National Guard see National Guard. Nationally, he supported the Civil Rights Acts of 1957 and 1960 and the constitutional amendment banning the poll tax. However, he opposed the much more comprehensive Civil Rights Act of 1964. Origins The bill was introduced by President John F Kennedy in his civil rights speech of June 11 1963, in which he asked for legislation "giving While he did indeed support the civil rights cause in general, he believed that this act unconstitutionally extended the federal government's commerce power to private citizens in its drive to "legislate morality" and restrict the rights of employers. Since Dixiecrats were the main opponents to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and previous civil rights legislation, Goldwater's opposition to the 1964 Act, in which he was joined by only four other non-southern Republican senators, strongly boosted Goldwater's standing among white southerners who opposed such federal legislation. The States' Rights Democratic Party (commonly known as the Dixiecrats) was a segregationist, socially conservative Political party

Two self-published books advanced the Goldwater cause: A Choice, Not An Echo by Phyllis Schlafly, then of Alton, Illinois, and A Texan Looks at Lyndon: A Study in Illegitimate Power by the Texas historian J. Evetts Haley.

In 1964, he fought and won a bitterly-contested, multi-candidate race for the Republican Party's presidential nomination. His main rival was New York Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller, whom he defeated in the California primary. Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller ( July 8, 1908 January 26, 1979) was the forty-first Vice President of the United States, the forty-ninth His nomination was opposed by liberal Republicans who thought Goldwater's hardline foreign policy stances would bring about a deadly confrontation with the Soviet Union. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR was a constitutionally Socialist state that existed in Eurasia from 1922 to 1991 He would eventually lose to President Lyndon Johnson by one of the largest margins in the history of U. Please DO NOT flip the colors -->The United States presidential election of 1964 was one of the most lopsided presidential elections in the history of the United States S. Presidential elections. Consequently, the Republican Party suffered a significant setback nationally, losing many seats in both houses of Congress. Goldwater carried only his home state and five (formerly Democratic) Southern states. Many Republicans at the time angrily turned against Goldwater, claiming that his defeat had significantly set back the party's chances of future national success. (There was a minor controversy over Goldwater's having been born in Arizona when it was not yet a state. )

He remained popular in Arizona, though, and in the 1968 Senate election he was elected again (this time to the seat of Carl Hayden, who was retiring). The 1968 United States Senate elections were elections for the United States Senate which coincided with the 1968 presidential election. He was subsequently reelected in 1974 and 1980. The 1974 election saw Goldwater easily reelected. The US Senate election of 1974 was held in the wake of the Watergate scandal Richard M This occurred in a year in which Republicans lost three Senate seats because of the party's unpopularity over the Watergate scandal. The Watergate scandals were a series of Political scandals during the presidency of Richard Nixon that resulted in the Indictment of several of Nixon's

Goldwater seriously considered retirement in 1980 before deciding to run for reelection. The 1980 US Senate elections coincided with Ronald Reagan 's election to the Presidency. Peggy Goldwater reportedly hoped that her husband's Senate term, due to end in January 1981, would be his last. Goldwater decided to run, planning to make the term his last in the Senate. Goldwater faced a surprisingly tough battle for reelection. He was viewed by some as out of touch and vulnerable for several reasons - most importantly, because he had planned to retire in 1981, Goldwater had not visited many areas of Arizona outside of Phoenix and Tucson. He was also challenged by a particularly tough opponent. Bill Schulz was a former Republican turned Democrat who was a wealthy real estate developer. Real estate is a legal term (in some jurisdictions notably in the USA, United Kingdom Schulz was able to infuse massive amounts of money into the campaign from his own fortune. Arizona's changing population also hurt Goldwater. The state's population had exploded, and a huge portion of the electorate had not lived in the state when Goldwater was last elected. Because of this, many voters were not familiar with the Senator. Goldwater was on the defensive for much of the campaign. Early returns on election night seemed to indicate that Schulz would win. The counting of votes continued through the night and into the next morning. Around daybreak Goldwater learned that he had been reelected. Goldwater's margin could be traced to his winning a high percentage of absentee votes, which were among the last to be counted. ^[5] Goldwater's surprisingly close victory in 1980 is interesting given that Ronald Reagan won the Presidency in a large victory over Jimmy Carter, and that the Republicans regained control of the Senate, electing twelve new Senators who rode Reagan's coattails. James Earl "Jimmy" Carter Jr (born October 1 1924 was the thirty-ninth President of the United States, serving from 1977 to 1981 and the recipient of the 2002 Reagan’s coattails refers to the influence of Ronald Reagan ’s popularity in elections other than his own after the American political expression to “ride in Reagan garnered 61% of the Presidential vote in Arizona.

Goldwater retired in 1987, serving as chair of the Senate Intelligence and Armed Services Committees in his final term. Despite his reputation as a firebrand in the 1960s, by the end of his career he was considered a stabilizing influence in the Senate, one of the most respected members of either major party. Yet Goldwater remained staunchly anti-communist and "hawkish" on military issues. He led the unsuccessful fight against ratification of the Panama Canal Treaty in the 1970s, which returned control of the canal zone to the Republic of Panama. The Torrijos-Carter Treaties (sometimes referred to in the singular as the Torrijos-Carter Treaty) are two treaties signed by the United States Panama, officially the Republic of Panama (República de Panamá) is the southernmost country of Central America. His most important legislative achievement may have been the Goldwater-Nichols Act, which reorganized the U. The Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1986 reworked the command structure of the United States military. S. military's senior-command structure.

Goldwater was an unwavering supporter of Wisconsin's Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy to the end (one of only 22 Senators who voted against McCarthy's censure). Joseph Raymond McCarthy (November 14 1908 – May 2 1957 was an American politician who served as a Republican U He was also friends with Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts; in fact, Goldwater anticipated that a contest for the presidency between John F. Kennedy and himself would have been an enjoyable experience, with lively debates between them.

Goldwater was grief-stricken by the assassination of Kennedy and was greatly disappointed that his opponent in the race would not be JFK, but instead Kennedy's Vice President, the former Senate Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas. The assassination of John F Kennedy, the thirty-fifth President of the United States, took place on Friday November 22 1963 in Dallas Texas Goldwater disliked Johnson (who he said "used every dirty trick in the bag"), and Richard M. Nixon of California, whom he later called "the most dishonest individual I have ever met in my life. " It is believed Goldwater, then a Senator, forced Nixon to resign at the height of Watergate by threatening to vote in favor of removing him from office if he did not. The term "Goldwater moment" has been used to describe a moment when members of Congress from the President's party disagree and go against the wishes of the President.

His 1984 Cable Franchise Policy and Communications Act allowed local governments to require the transmission of public access television, also called PEG (Public, Education, and Government) access channels, barred cable operators from exercising editorial control over content of programs carried on PEG channels, and absolved them from liability for their content. The 1984 Cable Franchise Policy and Communications Act is a piece of legislation sponsored by Senator Barry Goldwater passed into law that allowed Cable Television Public-access television in the United States is a form of Citizen media, similar to Canada's community channels Australia's community television

At the time of Goldwater's presidential candidacy, the Republican Party was split between its conservatives (with their base in the West and Midwest) and liberals (strongest in the Northeast).

Conservatism is a term used to describe political philosophies that favour Tradition, where tradition refers to various religious cultural or nationally defined Anti-communism refers to opposition to Communism. Historically the word "communism" has been used to refer to several types of communal social organization and He was viewed by many traditional Republicans as being too far on the right wing of the Republican spectrum to appeal to the mainstream majority necessary to win a national election. In Politics, right-wing, the political right, and the Right are positions that uphold traditional values and/or authorities As a result, more liberal Republicans recruited a series of opponents, including New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller, Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., of Massachusetts and Pennsylvania Governor William Scranton, to challenge Goldwater. New York ( is a state in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern regions of the United States and is the nation's third most populous Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller ( July 8, 1908 January 26, 1979) was the forty-first Vice President of the United States, the forty-ninth Henry Cabot Lodge Jr ( July 5, 1902 &ndash February 27, 1985) was a Republican United States Senator from Massachusetts The Commonwealth of Massachusetts ( is a state located in the New England region of the northeastern United States.

Goldwater would defeat Rockefeller in the winner-take-all California primary and secure the nomination. He also had solid southern Republican backing. A bright young Birmingham lawyer, John Grenier, secured commitments from 271 of 279 southern convention delegates to back Goldwater. Birmingham (ˈbɝmɪŋhæm is the largest City in the US state of Alabama and is the County seat of Jefferson County. John Edward Grenier (August 24 1930 &ndash November 6 2007 was a Birmingham Attorney and a pioneer in the development of the modern Republican Party Grenier went on to serve as executive director of the national GOP during the Goldwater campaign. This was the Number 2 position to party chairman Dean Burch, Goldwater's fellow Arizonan. Dean Burch ( December 20, 1927 - August 4, 1991) served as Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission from October 31

Goldwater boldly (and famously) declared in his acceptance speech at the 1964 Republican Convention: "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue. " This paraphrase of Cicero was included at the suggestion of Harry V. Jaffa, though the speech was primarily written by Karl Hess. Marcus Tullius Cicero ( Classical Latin ˈkikeroː usually ˈsɪsərəʊ in English January 3, 106 BC &ndash December 7, 43 BC was a Roman Harry V Jaffa (born 1918 is a Conservative Author and distinguished fellow of the Claremont Institute, a California Think tank. Karl Hess ( May 25 1923 April 22 1994) was an American Speechwriter, editor, Welder, Motorcycle Due to President Johnson's popularity, however, Goldwater held back from attacking the president directly; he did not even mention Johnson by name in his convention speech.

Past comments came back to haunt Goldwater throughout his campaign. Once he called the Eisenhower administration "a dime-store New Deal," and the former president never fully forgave him. Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower (October 14 1890 – March 28 1969 was President of the United States from 1953 until 1961 and a five-star general The New Deal was the name that United States President Franklin D Eisenhower did, however, film a TV commercial with Goldwater. ^[16] Eisenhower qualified his voting for Goldwater in November by remarking that he had voted not specifically for Goldwater, but for the Republican Party. In December 1961, Goldwater told a news conference that "sometimes I think this country would be better off if we could just saw off the Eastern Seaboard and let it float out to sea". That comment boomeranged on him during the campaign in the form of a Johnson television commercial, as did remarks about making Social Security voluntary, and statements in Tennessee about selling the Tennessee Valley Authority, a large local New Deal employer. Social Security, in the United States currently refers to the federal Old-Age Survivors and Disability Insurance ( OASDI) program The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA is a federally owned Corporation in the United States created by congressional charter in May 1933 to provide

The Goldwater campaign spotlighted Ronald Reagan, who gave a stirring, nationally-televised speech, "A Time for Choosing," in support of Goldwater. A Time for Choosing, also known as " The Speech " was presented on a number of speaking occasions during the 1964 U ^[17] The speech prompted Reagan to seek the California Governorship in 1966 and jump-started his political career. The Governor of California is the highest executive authority in the state government whose responsibilities include making annual "State of the State" addresses Conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly, later well-known for her fight against the Equal Rights Amendment, first became known for writing a pro-Goldwater book, A Choice, Not an Echo, attacking the liberal Republican establishment. Phyllis Stewart Schlafly (born August 15, 1924, in St Louis Missouri) is an American conservative political activist known for her The Equal Rights Amendment ( ERA) is a failed proposed amendment to the United States Constitution intended to guarantee equal rights under the Senator Prescott S.

Prescott Sheldon Bush ( May 15, 1895 – October 8, 1972) was a United States Senator from Connecticut, a Bush's son, George H.W. Bush (then running for the Senate from Texas against Democrat Ralph Yarborough), was also a strong Goldwater supporter in both the nomination and general election campaigns. George Herbert Walker Bush (born June 12 1924 served as the forty-first President of the United States from 1989 to 1993 Ralph Webster Yarborough ( June 08, 1903 – January 27, 1996) was a Texas Democratic politician who served in the Goldwater was painted as a dangerous figure by the Johnson campaign, which countered Goldwater's slogan "In your heart, you know he's right" with the lines "In your guts, you know he's nuts," and "In your heart, you know he might" (that is, might actually use nuclear weapons, as opposed to merely subscribing to deterrence). This article refers to deterrent theories of punishment For the legal theory of justice see Deterrence (legal. Johnson himself did not mention Goldwater in his own acceptance speech at the 1964 Democratic National Convention. The 1964 National Convention of the Democratic Party of the United States took place at the Atlantic City Convention Center in Atlantic City New Jersey

Goldwater's provocative advocacy of aggressive tactics to prevent the spread of communism in Asia led to effective counterattacks from Lyndon B. Johnson and his supporters, who claimed that Goldwater's militancy would have dire consequences, possibly even nuclear war. Regarding Vietnam, Goldwater charged that Johnson's policy was devoid of "goal, course, or purpose," leaving "only sudden death in the jungles and the slow strangulation of freedom. "^[18] Goldwater's own rhetoric on nuclear war was viewed by many as quite uncompromising, a view buttressed by off-hand comments such as, "Let's lob one into the men's room at the Kremlin. The Moscow Kremlin ( Russian: Московский Кремль Moskovskiy Kreml) usually referred to as simply The Kremlin, is a historic fortified "^[19]

Goldwater did his best to counter the Johnson attacks, criticizing the Johnson administration for its perceived ethical lapses, and stating in a commercial that "…we, as a nation, are not far from the kind of moral decay that has brought on the fall of other nations and people…I say it is time to put conscience back in government. And by good example, put it back in all walks of American life. " Goldwater campaign commercials included statements of support by actor Raymond Massey and moderate Republican senator Margaret Chase Smith. Raymond Hart Massey ( August 30 1896 &ndash July 29 1983) was a Canadian -born American actor Margaret Chase Smith ( December 14, 1897 – May 29, 1995) was a Republican Senator from Maine, and one

Before the 1964 election, the muckraking magazine Fact, published by Ralph Ginzburg, ran a special issue entitled ‘The Unconscious of a Conservative: A Special Issue on the Mind of Barry Goldwater. Ralph Ginzburg ( October 28 1929 &ndash July 6 2006) was an American author editor publisher and photo-journalist ’ The two main articles contended that Goldwater was mentally unfit to be president. The magazine attempted to support this claim with the results of an unscientific poll of psychiatrists it had conducted. Fact had mailed questionnaires to 12,356 psychiatrists, and published a ‘sampling’ of the comments made by the 2,417 psychiatrists who responded, of which 1,189 said Goldwater was unfit to be president. ^[20] After the election, Goldwater sued the publisher, the editor and the magazine for libel. "Although the jury awarded Goldwater only $1. 00 in compensatory damages against all three defendants, it went on to [396 U. S. 1049, 1050] award him punitive damages of $25,000 against Ginzburg and $50,000 against Fact magazine, Inc. "^[21] According to Warren Boroson, then-managing editor of Fact and now a financial columnist, the main biography of Goldwater in the magazine was written by David Bar-Illan, the Israeli pianist. David Bar-Illan ( 7 February 1930 — 5 November 2003) was an internationally-acclaimed pianist author and columnist He went on to say "Goldwater sued me for $2 million. (He collected 33 cents. )"^[22]

Influence of television

• The Republican National Convention had a vibrant mix of candidates, reporters, delegates, relatives, and others, crowding together in a somewhat aggressive atmosphere.
• A campaign advertisement known as Daisy showed a young girl counting daisy petals, from one to ten. " Daisy," sometimes known as " Daisy Girl " or " Peace Little Girl," was a controversial campaign Television advertisement Immediately following this scene, a voiceover counted down: ten, nine, eight,…three, two, one. The child's face was shown as a still photograph followed by images of nuclear explosions and mushroom clouds. The campaign advertisement ended with a plea to vote for Johnson, implying that Goldwater would provoke a nuclear war if elected. The advertisement, which featured only a few spoken words of narrative and relied on imagery for its emotional impact, was one of the most provocative moments in American political campaign history, and many analysts credit it as being the birth of the modern style of "negative political ads" on television. The ad only aired once, and was immediately pulled, but then was shown numerous times by television stations. ^[23]

Results

In the end, Goldwater received 38. 4% of the popular vote, and carried six states: Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, and his home state of Arizona. Alabama (formally the State of Alabama;) is a State located in the southern region of the United States of America. The State of Georgia ( is a state in the United States and was one of the original Thirteen Colonies that revolted against British rule The State of Louisiana ( or, État de Louisiane, pronounced) is a state located in the southern region of the United States of America Mississippi ( is a state located in the Deep South of the United States South Carolina ( is a state in the southern region ( Deep South) of the United States of America. The State of Arizona ( is a state located in the southwestern region of the United States. In all, Johnson won an overwhelming 486 electoral votes, to Goldwater's 52. Goldwater, with his customary bluntness, remarked: "We would have lost even if Abraham Lincoln had come back and campaigned with us. "

Goldwater's poor showing, plus the tendency at the time for most people to vote a "straight ticket" (that is, loyally voting for every candidate from the same party as their Presidential choice), was associated with the defeat of many other long-time Republican officeholders from Congress through local races.

Goldwater maintained later in life that he would have won the election if the country had not been in a state of extended grief (referring to the assassination of John F. Kennedy), and that it was simply not ready for a third President in just fourteen months. John Fitzgerald "Jack" Kennedy (May 29 1917&ndashNovember 22 1963 often referred to by his initials JFK, was the thirty-fifth President of It has frequently been argued that Goldwater's strong performance in Southern states previously regarded as Democratic strongholds foreshadowed a larger shift in electoral trends in the coming decades that would make the south a Republican bastion (an end to the "Solid South") — first in presidential politics and eventually at the congressional and state levels, as well. Solid South refers to the electoral support of the Southern United States for Democratic Party candidates for nearly a century from 1877 the end of the Reconstruction ^[24]

Goldwater and the revival of American conservatism

Although Goldwater was not as important in the American conservative movement as Ronald Reagan after 1965, from the late 1950s to 1964 he redefined and shaped the movement. Conservatism in the United States includes a variety of political ideologies including Fiscal conservatism, Supply-side economics, Social conservatism Arizona Senator John McCain summed up Goldwater's legacy thus: "He transformed the Republican Party from an Eastern elitist organization to the breeding ground for the election of Ronald Reagan. ” The columnist George Will remarked after the 1980 Presidential election that “it took 16 years to count the votes [of the 1964 election], and Goldwater won. George Frederick Will (born May 4, 1941) is a Pulitzer Prize -winning conservative American newspaper Columnist, journalist The United States presidential election of 1980 featured a contest between incumbent Democrat Jimmy Carter and his Republican opponent Ronald Reagan ”

“	Think of Al Gore winning the Democratic nomination in the year 2000 whose positions included halving the military budget, socializing the medical system, reregulating the communications and electrical industries, establishing a guaranteed minimum income for all Americans, and equalizing funding for all schools regardless of property valuations — and who promised to fire Alan Greenspan, counseled withdrawal from the World Trade Organization, and, for good measure, spoke warmly of adolescent sexual experimentation. Alan Greenspan (born March 6 1926 in New York City) is an American Economist and was from 1987 to 2006 the Chairman of the Federal Reserve of He would lose in a landslide. He would be relegated to the ash heap of history. The expression ash heap of history (or often dustbin of history) was coined by Leon Trotsky in response to the Mensheviks walking out of the Second But if the precedent of 1964 were repeated, two years later the country would begin electing dozens of men and women just like him. And not many decades later, Republicans would have to proclaim softer versions of those positions to get taken seriously for their party's nomination.	”
—Historian Rick Perlstein in his book Before the Storm: Barry Goldwater and the Unmaking of the American Consensus[25]

The Republican party recovered from the 1964 election debacle, picking up 47 seats in the House of Representatives in the mid-term election of 1966. Rick Perlstein (born 1969) is an American historian and journalist The United States House of Representatives is one of the two chambers of the United States Congress; the other is the Senate. The US House election 1966 was an election for the United States House of Representatives in 1966 which occurred in the middle of President Lyndon Johnson Further Republican successes ensued, including Goldwater's return to the Senate in 1968. Throughout the 1970s, as the conservative wing under Reagan gained control of the party, Goldwater concentrated on his Senate duties, especially in military affairs. He played little part in the election or administration of Richard Nixon, but he helped force Nixon's resignation in 1974. ^[26] In 1976 he helped block Rockefeller's renomination as Vice President. When Reagan challenged Ford for the presidential nomination in 1976, Goldwater endorsed Ford, looking for consensus rather than conservative idealism. As one historian notes, "The Arizonan had lost much of his zest for battle. "^[27]

In 1979, When President Jimmy Carter normalized relations with Communist China, Goldwater and some other senators sued him in the Supreme Court, arguing the president cannot break its relations with Taiwan without the approval of Congress. James Earl "Jimmy" Carter Jr (born October 1 1924 was the thirty-ninth President of the United States, serving from 1977 to 1981 and the recipient of the 2002 Talk People's Republic of China) PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA ARTICLE GUIDELINES The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest judicial body in the United States and leads the federal judiciary.

Libertarian views

By the 1980s, with Ronald Reagan as president and the growing involvement of the religious right in conservative politics, Goldwater's libertarian views on personal issues were revealed, which he believed were an integral part of true conservativism. Libertarianism is a term used by a broad spectrum of political philosophies which prioritize individual Liberty and seek to minimize or even abolish the Goldwater viewed abortion as a matter of personal choice, not intended for government intervention. An

As a passionate defender of personal liberty, he saw the religious right's views as an encroachment on personal privacy and individual liberties. In his 1980 Senate reelection campaign, Goldwater won support from religious conservatives but in his final term voted consistently to uphold legalized abortion and, in 1981, gave a speech on how he was angry about the bullying of American politicians by religious organizations, and would "fight them every step of the way". ^[28] Goldwater also disagreed with the Reagan administration on certain aspects of foreign policy (e. g. he opposed the decision to mine Nicaraguan harbors). Notwithstanding his prior differences with Dwight Eisenhower, Goldwater in a 1986 interview rated him the best of the seven Presidents with whom he had worked. Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower (October 14 1890 – March 28 1969 was President of the United States from 1953 until 1961 and a five-star general

After his retirement in 1987, Goldwater described the conservative Arizona Governor Evan Mecham as "hardheaded" and called on him to resign, and two years later stated that the Republican party had been taken over by a "bunch of kooks". Evan Mecham (ˈmiːkəm May 12 1924 – February 21 2008) was the 21st Governor In a 1994 interview with the Washington Post the retired senator said,

“

If that ever happens, kiss politics goodbye.

In response to Moral Majority founder Jerry Falwell's opposition to the nomination of Sandra Day O'Connor to the Supreme Court, of which Falwell had said, "Every good Christian should be concerned", Goldwater retorted: "Every good Christian ought to kick Falwell right in the ass. The Moral Majority was a political organization of the United States which had an Agenda of evangelical Christian -oriented political Lobbying Jerry Lamon Falwell Sr ( August 11 1933 – May 15, 2007) was an American evangelical Christian Pastor, Sandra Day O'Connor (born March 26, 1930) is an American Jurist. "^[29] Goldwater also had harsh words for his one-time political protege, President Reagan, particularly after the Iran-Contra Affair became public in 1986. The Iran-Contra affair was a political scandal which was revealed in November 1986 as a result of earlier events during the Reagan administration. Journalist Robert MacNeil, a friend of Goldwater's from the 1964 Presidential campaign, recalled interviewing him in his office shortly afterward. Robert Breckenridge Ware MacNeil, known sometimes as Robin (born January 19, 1931) is currently a Novelist and formerly was a Television "He was sitting in his office with his hands on his cane. . . and he said to me, 'Well, aren't you going to ask me about the Iran arms sales?' It had just been announced that the Reagan administration had sold arms to Iran. For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Iran topics. And I said, 'Well, if I asked you, what would you say?' He said, 'I'd say it's the god-damned stupidest foreign policy blunder this country's ever made!'",^[30] though aside from the Iran-Contra scandal, Goldwater thought nonetheless that Reagan was a good president. ^[31] Also, in 1988 during that year's presidential campaign, he pointedly told vice-presidential nominee Dan Quayle at a campaign event in Arizona "I want you to go back and tell George Bush to start talking about the issues. -->The United States presidential election of 1988 featured an open primary for both major parties James Danforth "Dan" Quayle (born February 4 1947 is an American politician and a former Senator from the state of Indiana. George Herbert Walker Bush (born June 12 1924 served as the forty-first President of the United States from 1989 to 1993 " [4]

Some of Goldwater's statements in the 1990s aggravated many social conservatives. He endorsed Democrat Karan English in an Arizona congressional race, urged Republicans to lay off Clinton over the Whitewater scandal, and criticized the military's ban on homosexuals: "Everyone knows that gays have served honorably in the military since at least the time of Julius Caesar. Karan English (b March 23, 1949, Berkeley California) served in the U William Jefferson "Bill" Clinton (born William Jefferson Blythe III, August 19 1946 served as the forty-second President of the United States The Whitewater controversy (also called the Whitewater scandal, or often simply Whitewater) was an American political controversy that began with the Homosexuality refers to sexual behavior with or attraction to people of the same sex or to a Homosexual orientation. "^[32] He also said, "You don't have to be straight to be in the military; you just have to be able to shoot straight. " A few years before his death he went so far as to address the right wing, "Do not associate my name with anything you do. You are extremists, and you've hurt the Republican party much more than the Democrats have. "^[33]

In 1996 he told Bob Dole, whose own presidential campaign received lukewarm support from conservative Republicans: "We're the new liberals of the Republican party. Robert Joseph "Bob" Dole (born July 22 1923 is an attorney and retired United States Senator from Kansas from 1969–1996 serving part of that time Can you imagine that?" In that same year, with Senator Dennis DeConcini, Goldwater endorsed an Arizona initiative to legalize medical marijuana against the will of social conservatives. Dennis Webster DeConcini (born May 8, 1937 Tucson, Arizona) is a former Democratic U The State of Arizona ( is a state located in the southwestern region of the United States. Medical cannabis refers to the use of the Cannabis plant as a physician-recommended Herbal therapy as well as synthetic THC and Cannabinoids ^[34]
