Goldwater.....
Barry M. Goldwater: The Most Consequential Loser in American Politics
Goldwater treated all people the same. As a private citizen, he flew mercy missions to Navaho reservations, never asking for recognition or accepting payment. He felt that “the red man seemed as much—if not more—a part of Arizona and America as any white or black person.”[20] Moreover, a few weeks after Goldwater was discharged from the Army in November 1945, Democratic Arizona Governor Sidney Preston Osborn asked him to organize the Arizona Air National Guard. One of Goldwater’s first recommendations, soon approved, was to desegregate the unit. Goldwater’s integration of the state’s Air National Guard took place more than two years before President Harry Truman integrated the U.S. armed forces.
Goldwater was an early member of the Arizona chapters of both the NAACP and the National Urban League, even making up the latter’s operating deficit when it was getting started. Later as a Senator, he desegregated the Senate cafeteria in 1953, demanding that his black legislative assistant, Kathrine Maxwell, be served along with every other Senate employee after learning she had been denied service.
In the mid-1970s, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, investigating improper operations of the intelligence community in the United States, proposed that transcripts of the FBI tapes about Martin Luther King Jr.’s alleged indiscretions be published. An outraged Goldwater declared he would not be a party to destroying King’s reputation and strode out of the committee room. A fellow Senator recalled that Goldwater’s protest “injected some common sense into the proceedings,” and the electronic surveillance transcripts were not released.[21]
That his opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was based on constitutional grounds and not political considerations was underscored in the final week of the fall campaign.
Speaking in Columbia, South Carolina, Goldwater condemned segregation and declared that government must treat “all men as equal in the arena of law and civil order.”[22] He pledged if elected President to implement all provisions of the act. His forthright pro-civil rights speech was televised on 87 stations throughout the South.

As for the Republican nominee's position on the Civil Rights Act, Goldwater had said he would vote for passage if Section II on public accommodations and Section VII on equal employment opportunity were removed. With his view reinforced by a detailed memorandum from Phoenix lawyer and future Chief Justice William Rehnquist, Goldwater felt these sections were unconstitutional, were unenforceable without a federal police force, and would lead to the creation of racial quotas and affirmative action.
"He was absolutely right about [the two sections of the Civil Rights Act] and they did lead to precisely what Goldwater and most conservatives were afraid of," said Tom Winter, then executive editor of Human Events, who would join Ryskind as its co-owner a year later. As for the "extremism in the defense of liberty" speech, Winter recalled watching it from a San Francisco restaurant "and cheering it because it was clearly about freedom and fighting communism. I certainly didn't think it had anything to do with race."

More specifically, Goldwater had problems with title II and title VII of the 1964 bill. He felt that constitutionally the federal government had no legal right to interfere in who people hired, fired; or to whom they sold their products, goods and services. He felt that “power” laid in the various states, and with the people. He was a strong advocate of the tenth amendment. Goldwater’s constitutional stance did not mean he agreed with the segregation and racial discrimination practiced in the South. To the contrary, he fought against these kinds of racial divides in his own state of Arizona. He supported the integration of the Arizona National guard and Phoenix public schools.[4] Goldwater was, also, a member of the NAACP and the Urban League.[5]
His personal feelings about discrimination are enshrined in the congressional record where he states, “I am unalterably opposed to discrimination or segregation on the basis of race, color, or creed or on any other basis; not only my words, but more importantly my actions through years have repeatedly demonstrated the sincerity of my feeling in this regard…”[6]. And, he would continued to holdfast to his strongly felt convictions that constitutionally the federal government was limited in what it could do, believing that the amoral actions of those perpetuating discrimination and segregation would have to be judged by those in that community. Eventually, the states government and local communities would come to pressure people to change their minds. Goldwater’s view was that the civil disobedience by private citizens against those business establishments was more preferable than intervention by the feds. He, optimistically, believed that racial intolerance would soon buckle under the economic and societal pressure.
All those fucking Long Term Mental Asylums they closed in the 60s-80s should have been rebuilt and re-opened. Some crazy bastards cannot be seen as an "Outpatient". If you have a friend or relative that "hears voices" fucking report their ass immediately to the police and say they are a threat to Society!It has nothing to do with gun control. It has to do with releasing a mentally ill man knowing this could happen. It is progressive fuckery that is killing this country.

You idiot. The problem that we have is that we are all taxed too much to feed this horrendous bloated out of control debt ridden government.flat tax system like we have is a disaster, brainwashed functional moron. Politically of course...
No. It was an ignorant claim.MLK didn't make an ignorant claim....
He was 10000% right....do you know who was nominated the GOP presidential candidate in 64? The guy who is most famous for opposing the Civil Rights/Voting Rights Act....
and since that guy was nominated, the GOP has bled all of the black support it once had....it's almost like policies matter....

Why do you keep blaming guns? They do not shoot people by themselves.Why do you need a link when all you are going to do is move goal posts and keep avoiding simple questions?
Mass shootings in the U.S. by state 1982-2023 | Statista

Envy and hate of somebody making more money than you is a sick mental illness these dumbass greedy Leftest have.I believe they literally wouldn't care a bit if more revenue actually made it to the government, as long as they could feel good about socking it to a rich guy.
Conservatives OPPOSED the Civil Rights movement....No. It was an ignorant claim.
Yea I do know who was nominated. So what? One individual doesn’t “rule” our land. That you and I disagree with the opposition to the passage of the Civil Rights Act doesn’t mean that MLK was correct.
Absolutely and facially invalid nonsense is what it was. The Dims were the Party of Slavery and Jim Crow. The Dims are still the Plantation Party.
I am not blaming guns.......except for, depending on the gun, they sure make it easier to kill a bunch of people....Why do you keep blaming guns? They do not shoot people by themselves.
Conservatives OPPOSED the Civil Rights movement....
Sorry. I don’t engage in deflection efforts like that. Plus, I don’t believe anyone of the Dims who marched for civil rights was risking his life.Can you name me a single prominent conservative that risked their life marching down south fighting for Civil Rights?
I’ll watch as you continue to do the very thing you’re hypocritically blabbering about.I'll wait while you keep flailing like a bitch
...and the shooter in Nashville was a Democrat Tranny
...and the shooter in Uvalde was a Hispanic from an area that votes heavily Democrat.
...and the shooter in Monterrey Park was an Asian from an area that heavily votes Democrat
...and the shooter in Orlando was a Muslim
...and the shooter in Hampton was a Democrat voting Negro
...and the asshole who shot up the Republican baseball practice was a militant MAGA hating Moon Bat.
wrong! Read my post again. I was mentioning red flag laws which YOU highlighted so nicely for me in caps. Maine has no red flag laws. You’re referring to a yellow flag law. Red flag laws are more strict.Maine already has a law to remove guns from those committed for psychiatric reasons. Why did it not happen? The fact yu do not know this invalidates every argument you have because you are proposing a law that is already in effect.
