MODERATORS
Recently came across this 1982 as article about the religious right's patron saint of government deregulation, trying to warn people about how fucked up the religious right was. Too bad nobody listened to the man who Republicans credit for allegedly helping to shape their entire political ideology when what he had to say was in conflict with their entire political ideology:
Barry Goldwater is a true Westerner, a man who prizes free will and open spaces, and he is particularly perturbed by the linkage of conservative politics with religious leaders. In his view, they have prix-fixe moral menus: no substitutions allowed. ''They say that you have to go along with them 100 percent or, by God, they're going to get you,'' the Senator asserted. ''That's wrong, that's the way the Communists talk.''
