MY POINT (that YOU seemed to miss) was that YOU need to do more research. Actually KNOW something of what you are talking about!
Goldwater was NO racist. Believing so just makes YOU uninformed. OR misinformed, OR ignorant of which you speak.
Which has always been the case with many folks with big mouths and strong opinions.
Unfortunately, these days, those folks think information/knowledge is somehow evil.
They PREFER to stay stupid rather than deal with truth.
It's the bane of society and the demise of believers all over the globe.
