Barry G- Lone Conservative in a Liberal World
“Bad News” and “The Angry Republic” present:
The NEW adventures of Barry Goldwater
(A modern “re- telling” of a man born 50 years ahead of his time.)
We enter a world that is not much different then our own world, today.
People are people, after all.
The people of both worlds want the same thing: A place where you are free to make your dreams a reality. A place where you can meet someone to love. A decent place to raise a family. A place where you do not fear growing old.
In this respect, our worlds are not much different.
However, in the form of government rule, we would not recognize the world in which Barry Goldwater lived. It would be totally alien to us.
Democrats ruled the land for twenty years. And Democrats would have ruled for another twenty years more, if it had not been for a couple of men.
In this parallel world, it was a totally “alien” democratic party. A democratic party that locked away thousands of Americans in internment camps. Americans, who’s only crime was that they were “different.” (Japanese, German, Italian)
A democratic party that pushed the “proverbial” BUTTON, that unleashed nuclear weapons. The ONLY time that nuclear weapons have ever been used by anyone, to kill people.
In Barry G’s world, these were the days of the brutal democrat. They called themselves: “New Dealers.”
Some Americans began to quip: “New Deal my ass. It is the democrat’s way, or you go to jail. That’s the New Deal.”
But change was in the air.
The year was 1953.
There was no “Fox News Channel.”
No “Rush Limbaugh” broadcasting for three hours a day.
There wasn’t even a conservative magazine called: “National Review.”
In 1953, conservatives exchanged ideas mostly by word of mouth, on the streets.
It was your neighbor who shared your vision of America, with a smaller government and MORE personal freedom.
It was the occasional editorial in the Chicago Tribune that warned of the dangers of communism, which was spreading around the world.
Conservatism could be found in a quaint story about a “small town America” where you didn’t have to lock your doors, and people helped each other. These people didn’t need the government to pull money out of their pockets, by taxation, to help the poor. People helped people because they wanted to. You could find these stories in “Readers Digest” and “The Saturday Evening Post”.
There were conservatives out there. But it could hardly be called: “A movement.”
That is, until Barry Goldwater.
The date- January 3rd, 1953.
Barry Goldwater is about to be sworn in as an American Senator from Arizona.
We are about to peek into Goldwater’s personal journal, and learn from our republican past.
An alien world, far-far away.
Goldwater writes:
“...There were a few conservatives in congress during those days. Although Dwight D. Eisenhower had just become the first republican president in twenty years, the nation was still moving left.
Liberalism dominated not only the country’s political and educational lives...
Liberalism dominated the media.
It was extremely difficult for a conservative to be heard, much less understood.
From my early days, I never accepted the notion that conservatism was a primer for the past- that we didn’t have a vision of or faith in the future.
We (conservatives) saw the future of America in the hands of the MANY, not the self-anointed few.
For forty years, the nations liberals had conjured up false conservative, capitalistic stereotypes- of selfish people with inordinate wealth, intellectually rooted in a ‘dead yesterday.’
(On the contrary,) liberals offered to plan your life out for you.
Liberals would plan out your whole life under (the rule of HUGE) Democratic administrations, complete with “Great Societies” and “New Dealers.”
Behind all of the promise of the (liberal) planners lay a cynical contempt for the individual freedoms which make America different. (Individual freedoms which have driven millions of people, from everywhere on this earth, to make it to America, or DIE trying.)
My political mission is to restore those individual freedoms, despite the welfare state.
(While raising my hand and becoming a Senator), I took comfort in the oath to support and defend the Constitution of these United States. I was at home with the Constitution. I told myself that enterprising America, in the surge of new nations around the globe, was a good representation of rising expectations.
We ARE the world’s REAL revolutionaries.
Our principals, (contained in The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution) are lighting political fires never dreamed of by Lenin or world communism.
(My political goals...)
I have little interest in streamlining government, or in making it MORE efficient, for I mean to reduce government’s size.
I will not undertake the promotion of welfare, for I propose to extend freedom.
My aim is NOT to pass NEW laws, but to repeal them.
My goal is not to create NEW government programs, but to cancel old programs that do violence to the Constitution, or have failed in their purpose, or programs that impose on the people an unwarranted financial burden.
I will not attempt to discover whether legislation is needed, BEFORE I determine if this legislation is constitutionally permissible.
And if in the future I am attacked by a constituent for not minding his interests, I will remind him that I was charged with protecting his liberty.
In that cause, I have done my very best.
Today, these are respectable political views. However, in 1953 when I started in the Senate, these ideas were revolutionary...”

“Barry G: Fact-toids:” Facts about Barry Goldwater.
Some people have asked me if I was making fun of Barry Goldwater with this promo picture that we used to promote our editorials on Barry Goldwater.
When Goldwater was running for president, a person in charge of publicity thought it would be great to make a soda pop called: “Goldwater”, (because Barry’s name sounded like a drink, anyways.)
The first idea was that this soft drink should be a gold / yellow color and flavored like lemons.
“Lemons”..?? ( Not good for a politician) Plus- gold / yellow, the color of urine..??
So, that idea was scrapped and they made the “Goldwater” soda drink with orange coloring and flavor.
When Barry Goldwater first tasted the “Goldwater” soft drink, he said that it smelled like goat piss.
Goldwater never cared for the promotional soft drink and later cleaned up his explanation of why, for the public: “It tastes like gnat urine.”
Goldwater, who served in the military during WW2, was asked what he thought about Gay people serving in the military?
Goldwater replied:
“..I could care less if a man is straight, I only care if he can shoot straight...”

The Angry Republic
If I were a democrat, I would-
Ask: Will President Obama “pardon” the Thanksgiving turkey?
Or will Barack Obama send the Thanksgiving turkey to New York City for a civilian trial, which will turn into a “circus” side-show trial?
God help that poor turkey..!!
God, help us all..!!
It’s that time once again where we give advice to people who DO NOT WANT IT.
Democrats will not heed this advice.
They will shrug their shoulders and boast: “What the hell does he know? He is a stupid conservative who wants to kill baby ducks, and starve Black people, and kick old people out of nursing homes, and take health care away from sick children. WHAT COULD I POSSIBLY LEARN FROM THIS IDIOT..??”
Well, you could learn a few things because I am on the outside, looking in.
I am not seated inside the “Hope and Change” bus ride to hell.
So, I will offer this advice, EVEN IF no one ever reads it. Or heeds it.
(Here we go…)
If I were a democrat, I would:
Question WHY my democratically controlled congress FEELS the need to slip these health care bills in on a weekend, right before a holiday?
What’s up with that..??
Why be so freaking sneaky..??
Remember, this health care bill would (if passed) be with us FOREVER.
Isn’t the goal here to seriously reform the US health care system? Isn’t the REAL goal of this bill to make health insurance MORE affordable, to MORE people..??
Wouldn’t that be a GOOD THING..??
Then why all of the “smoke and mirrors”? Why must the “meat” of this bill be hidden within 2,000 pages of “stuff”?
Why must these bills be slipped in on a weekend, right before a holiday?
Forget republicans..!!
You do not need republicans to pass these bills, and republicans cannot stop these bills if democrats gang up against us.
Look at it this way…
If you helped write a congressional bill that will solve the health care “crisis” in America, wouldn’t you be proud of that achievement..??
If you wrote a bill that will really REALLY solve America’s health crisis, wouldn’t you want to explain to the American people why your bill will work. Wouldn’t you (and your fellow authors) form a committee and answer questions pertaining to this bill..?? Questions that we Americans have?
Why would you “hide” your health bill under the cover of 2,000 pages, and slip it into congress during a weekend, before a holiday?
Maybe, YOU, (the author of this bill) are not real sure about this bill? Maybe you are not proud of this bill? Maybe that is why you have to bribe fellow democratic senators with pork money to get them to sign it?
LINK: Harry Reid gives Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu 100 MILLION bucks to vote YES.
People, the senate is not voting to rename a post office, or some simple task like that.
The senate is voting on a bill that will effect each one of us. Once passed, this bill will be dam near impossible to fix, later on.
If I were a democrat, I would:
Ask; why hasn’t anyone in my party taken the responsibility to say: “This is my bill, I am proud of it, and I will answer any questions you have about this bill.”
(Because the dirty little secret is that YOU, the liberal, also have questions about this health care bill. You have concerns and you do not know who to ask?) Nor do I?
You, the liberal, are beginning to ask “why DO these bills have to be slipped into vote on the weekend right before the senate leaves for Thanksgiving?”
You, the liberal, are beginning to wonder why: “if this health care bill is so good, why did congress (The House of Representatives) have to sneak their bill in on Halloween, when many members of congress had plans to fly home and be with their kids on Halloween?
Because you are intelligent, you are asking yourself: “why hasn’t ANYONE; from President Obama, to Speaker Pelosi, to Sen. Reid, taken the time to fully explain what this bill will do? How much it will cost, and why there are no other options?”
If I were a democrat, I would:
Ask: Why the rush..?? The benefits of this bill do not take effect until 2013. Yet we have to pay for it NOW..?? Why can’t we, the democrats, have an honest debate about this bill?
If I were a democrat, I would:
Contact my Senator and STOP this bill.
You are not an evil republican who wants to STOP health care. You are a concerned American who has questions. We all have questions.
You would never buy a car without driving it. You would never sign a house mortgage without reading the agreement. (That’s how a lot of people got themselves in trouble with home loans.)
Yet, that is exactly what congress is asking you to do. Sit back, shut up, and do not ask any questions.
Is this the kind of America that we are “changing” to? Where we can’t even ask congress: “Hey, what is this $500 BILLION dollar cut to Medicare all about? How will it effect my Grandparents?”
LINK: Democrats cut $500 billion from old people to pay for your health insurance. (LA Times)
Is THIS the kind of America that we have evolved into? Where we cannot ask questions? We just cross our fingers and HOPE that congress will do the right thing?
If I were a democrat, I would:
Contact my senator and tell them to vote NO.
You can stop this bill.
I would tell my senator to go take his (or her) stupid vacation. I would tell my senator to pick this debate up in January when we can cut the pork from this bill. We can go over this bill- line by line, so that all of us Americans will have our questions answered. (Something that President Obama promised to do, but hasn’t gotten around to it.)
It’s not too late…
You can still contact your senator.
LINK: How to contact my senator.
(Though, most of the phone lines are jammed, and you will never know if your e-mail is landing into some giant cyber trash can, at least you will know that you tried to be a responsible American.)
If I were a democrat, I would:
Wonder, why is everyone in my party focused on Sarah Palin..??
If Palin is as dumb, inexperienced, and inept as liberals say she is, why are liberals so focused on her..??
Don’t we run the risk of making Sarah a sympathetic figure?
America has never had a woman president, and since no liberal woman will oppose President Obama in 2012, aren’t we actually giving Palin publicity?
Tons of FREE publicity..!!
(OK, maybe I should scratch that last one.)
Liberals…
You keep right on talking smack about Sarah Palin.
At least keep talking about Sarah Palin until 2011. Then, Americans will be so sick of hearing your negativity, that it will mean nothing, to no one.

Are you thirsty..??
Why not try some GOLD water..!!
It’s refreshing, and it no longer smells like goat piss.

The NEW adventures of Barry Goldwater
“Barry G- Lone conservative in a Liberal World”
Thanks for reading
The Angry Republic
People love you when you are getting the crap beat out of you. When your face is being pushed into the muck, that is when people care.
For example: People seemed to tolerate Israel when Hamas rockets rained down into this tiny State; day after day.
However, the minute that Israel retaliated against Hamas, they lost all compassion from the world. 
The United States also found this to be true...
Just after 9/11 when we were at our lowest, the world poured out sympathy for us. (I believe France even send us 2,000 beds. Or, maybe that was during Katrina?)
However, the minute we lashed out at Afghanistan and pulled Saddam from a hole in the ground, we lost sympathy from the world. We become "the hated."
So, if we use this analogy, the answer would be to keep getting your ass handed to you- FOREVER, until the day you die. Then, and only then, the world will love you.
(Note) You are dead. Your ass was kicked every single day of your life by "someone." However, the world LOVES you.
So, I’m trying to figure out where this concept came from? (Because, usually; the "good guy" is justified regardless if he is winning or losing a battle.)
Did it come from Hollywood..??
Name one movie where the "good guy" gets his ass kicked AND NEVER retaliates near the end of the movie?
I can’t think of one?
(My first thought was Clint Eastwood’s "The Unforgiven." Where the "good guy" was actually bad. The "Bad guy" was actually fighting for a good reason. However, near the end of this movie; the "bad" GOOD guy does take revenge and is respected in this old western town.)
Could you imagine Batman, Rambo, or James Bond getting slapped around AND NOT seeking some sort of revenge?
Even Hollywood movies teach people to fight for what they believe, so this idea that "losing is GOOD" doesn’t necessarily come from Hollywood.
The Bible teaches people to "turn the other cheek" and to love your enemies. However, the people who are pushing the "good guy must lose" idea probably do not read the Bible.
This idea that "winning is bad" could come from the school system. I seem to remember the idealism being taught that there may not be a "right and wrong", (or good and bad) because of a "gray area" where the BAD guy might be a good guy to someone else.
So if you were taught (and you believe) that right could be wrong and "bad" could be good, then you wouldn’t want to see America or Israel win a war. (Because of the gray area where right could be wrong and good could be bad.)
OK, I understand that. (I do not agree with it, but I can understand it.) But, then how could these same people go to the movies and watch a "hero" beat up the bad guys..??
Somehow, they are able to turn off this "gray area" idealism long enough to watch the movie?
Maybe we have found our answer...
I believe that every person instinctively understands right from wrong. (They just pretend that they didn’t know what they were doing was wrong.) In school, or maybe through parents, children learn of a "gray area" between right and wrong. This causes these people to rethink what they knew to be true.
Here is a great example:
The democratic mayor of Baltimore (Sheila Dixon) was just indicted for stealing Christmas gift cards for the poor and using them on herself to buy video games and furs. She was having sex in her office, (with a guy who wasn’t her husband). And she took many gifts in exchange for city contracts awarded to the gift givers.
At this point: it doesn’t matter if you are a democrat or a republican; if you are White or Black, you KNOW what Sheila Dixon did was wrong.
So right now, your "gray area" idealism is turned off, and you can tell right from wrong.
However, in the weeks to come; you will be bombarded with "extra" information about Ms. Dixon. Maybe you will learn that she grew up in a tough situation. You might learn that there are many other politicians doing about the same thing, so why pick on the Baltimore Mayor?
(These are things that shouldn’t matter..!! She committed a crime.)
Your "gray area" idealism will kick in and you will no longer be able to tell right from wrong and a criminal will get away with a crime.
Take Illinois Governor Blago; when we first heard the audio tape of Blago trying to sell Barack Obama’s senate seat, we all knew that he was a criminal. (No gray area.)
However, in the weeks that followed; the spin started that "Blago hadn’t really committed a crime yet. He just TALKED about selling Obama’s senate seat. Blago didn’t actually sell it yet.."
(Would that be like a terrorist who TALKED about blowing up the White House. But he is OK because he didn’t actually blow it up yet..??)
Republicans even began to speak highly of Blago because "he made the democratic party look bad."
In this last example, republicans are using the gray area idealism to allow a crook (Blago) to stay in office, (because democrats put Blago there and the people need to see what the democrats have done.)
A crook is a crook, and Blago should have been made to step down long time ago.
Lets take one more look at today’s news:
A video tape of Britain’s Prince Harry calling an Afghan tribesman a "raghead" surfaced this weekend. He also called a fellow Pakistan soldier his: "Paki friend."
Now, most of us know that during a war, soldiers talk tough to "toughen" each other up. Prince Harry was serving in the British military and during a war, you may not always be politically correct.
However, in the next few days; depending on which side of the political fence you dwell on- you will look at this statement by Prince Harry different.
If you are for the war in Iraq, you will believe that we always call the enemy names. Hell, terrorists call us names like "western dogs" and "pigs." So what if Prince Harry called a terrorist a "raghead?"
However, if you are against the War in Iraq, you will believe that what Prince Harry said was the worst possible thing ANYONE could have said. You will believe that statements like this are causing Arab people not to like us.
"Gray area" idealism is a fun way to debate in the safety of a school. It gives a person representing an unfavorable position a chance to win the debate. However, it is a terrible way to send a child into the real world.
People MUST know the difference between right and wrong.
Every car thief could argue the "gray area" of why they should have a car.
Every rapist could point out the "gray area" of why the girl was "asking for it."
"Gray area" idealism is a great debating trick, but that is as far as it should go.
Radical Islam is USING the gray area idealism to win your mind over to their side. Terrorists have you convinced that right could be wrong and that bombing a restaurant full of innocent people is OK- because... (Well, they have many reasons. "We killed innocent people because you buy oil." Or- "Israel sits on land that was ours, so instead of talking- we shoot rockets into Israel because of the gray area and you have no freaking clue of what is right and wrong..")
Gray area idealism causes you to fall for political spin and not recognize an enemy (until it is too late.)
I have to fight very hard to shut down my "gray area" idealism (that was forced into my brain as a child), or I find myself falling victim to the spin doctors.
You begin to believe that:
It’s OK to blow up innocent people and retaliation is the evil.
It is OK to steal gift cards from the poor because your life was bad and everyone is doing it. (Or because you think republicans do worse.)
When you think about it; how could "right" ever be wrong..??

The WRIGHT to destroy a candidate
Quote from Rev. Wright:
"..(Obama) says what he has to say as a politician.."
(Hmmm. That sounds like a hidden agenda. Doesn't it.?)
I wonder what else Obama has been saying that may not necessarily be true? Things he is saying, "just because he is a politician?"
Obama had this to say:
"When it came time to stand up against the oil companies, to stand against Dick Cheney's energy bill, my opponent voted for it and I voted against it," Obama said. And he continued- "And that bill had billions of dollars in giveaways to the oil companies. It was the best bill that the energy companies could buy."
Actually, the bill that Obama voted against RAISED taxes on the oil companies by 300 million over a period of years.
You have, of course, heard that Obama is against removing the federal gas tax for this summer. McCain is for it. Rush Limbaugh has been suggesting it for some time now. Even Hillary might sign on to it. Many in congress think it is a great "short term" idea. Removing the federal tax from gas could really help Americans over the 3 summer months.
Let's back up and review this information…
Obama voted against the 2005-energy bill that would raise taxes on oil companies.
Obama is against cutting the federal gas tax this summer to help poor Americans pay for high fuel costs.
This doesn't sound like a guy who has "the peoples" interests in mind?
Obama claims he is the only candidate running who doesn't except money from oil companies. "..Obama, it is against the law for ANY candidate to except money from oil companies.." Besides, Obama has received money from people who work for oil companies. The same as Hillary and McCain; donations in the legal amount.
So, why does Obama say these things..??
But the bigger question might be…
Why do people believe him and trust what he is saying as the truth..??
Because they have to.
Liberals are so invested in Obama, there is no turning back now. They finally, after YEARS of listening to how bad the Clinton's were, now believe us on that. These folks feel they can't vote republican. They have no choice. They must defend Obama no matter what the guy says or does.
This is why I am so glad that I am a conservative. We can openly talk about our candidate. We can point out his good points and bad. We do not have to hide or cover up the weakness McCain has.
On the left, they spent years trying to pretend that some "right wing political machine" brought on all the problems that the Clinton's had. But only now are they seeing what the Clinton's are really like.
For people on the left, they cannot ask questions about Obama. Like baby birds, these liberals would be kicked out of the nest if they asked tough questions of Obama. YOU CAN'T DO THAT..!!
For if you dare challenge Obama. You are not liberal. You are a racist.
You folks on the left have no free speech. How easily, you folks on the left, give up free speech- scares me!
Here on the right side, I could one day ask readers: "What's so bad about John McCain? Let's look at President Reagan's record.."
I can write an editorial like that, when McCain IS NOT POPULAR, and no one kicks me out of the conservative movement. The next week I could spend time talking about how McCain pisses me off.
Here on the right; I could challenge global warming. Or I could enter the movement to voice my side of it like Newt Gingrich.
Conservatives can debate topics like "Darwinism."
You will find nothing like that on the left. You MUST comply FULLY on every idea that the left has adopted, or you do not belong. There is no debate.
We have free speech here on the "right side." We can talk about anything.
On the liberal front, with blinders firmly in place: "Don't you dare ask Obama any of those tough questions.." Obama is above all those stupid questions like: What he voted on- Obama voted to suspend the Illinois state gas tax, but Obama doesn't want to suspend the federal gas tax..??
Don't ask Obama about past friends...
Don't ask Obama about his Reverend...
Just sit there with your blinders on and do not speak.
(Chanting "Obama, Obama" is acceptable. But only if Obama is NOT speaking.)
Well, at least you will not have to BUY a new pair of blinders to shade you from the Obama truths. You can use the same blinders that you wore for years with the Clinton's.
With Obama appearing on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace later today, you folks on the left might need a blindfold and ear plugs.
(Or better yet, just blame republicans for anything said by Obama. That always works for you guys.)
I thought democrats were not going to appear on Fox News..?? What happened..??
Maybe, in the middle of all this mess, the Reverend Wright explained Obama better than anyone else has:
"..(Obama) says what he has to say as a politician.."
Yes…
Obama is NOT a God.
Obama is human.
And if Obama is human, we can beat him.
You folks on the left need to deal with Rev Wright. He is the one man that will destroy Obama.
Maybe giving Wright a million-dollar mansion and 10 million in cash WASN'T ENOUGH.
You might have to dig deeper into the wallet. He likes the spotlight.
(And I like Rev Wright in the spotlight..!!)
See.. again..
People on the right enjoy free speech.
