‘Leftist, Tree-Hugging, Big Government Environmentalist Whacko’ Barry Goldwater

“While I am a great believer in the free competitive enterprise system and all that it entails, I am an even stronger believer in the right of our people to live in a clean and pollution-free environment. To this end, it is my belief that when pollution is found, it should be halted at the source, even if this requires stringent government action against important segments of our national economy.”

— Leftist, tree-hugging, Big Government environmentalist whacko…and 1964 conservative Republican Presidential nominee Barry Goldwater, from 1971’s The Conscience of a Majority.

  1. History means nothing to the Oligarchy…History can be modified to fit the narrative…this nation is history if we don’t get rid of the gop/baggers in congress..

  2. The Midwest is getting slammed with global warming. Yesterday, the actual high was 14 degrees above normal in St. Louis. The day before was 7 degrees above normal. Normal is a period determined by the National Weather Service from 1981 to 2010.

    It is astonishing to see how rapidly the warming is taking hold and how forecasts are constantly being revised to keep up with the speed of change.

    Climate change is a terribly inaccurate term. Climate destruction is much more appropriate because this type of change has been avoidable all along.
