Was it the same guy who somehow advocated the use of A-bomb in Vietnam? I think it was.

Lonely –Atom, Yes That’s him. But never the less he is dead-on on the subject of religion and preachers "men of god" entering the political arena, and that coming from a conservative thinker and father of the new American conservative Movement says a lot about the man don't you think?! .... by the way I take him and some  of his views any day over all of these so call tea-party conservatives and most of today's Republican party leadership jokers & clowns.

_And as for using A-Bomb in Vietnam read below: Senator Barry Goldwater (R-Arizona), running for the Republican Party nomination in the upcoming presidential election, gives an interview in which he discusses the use of low-yield atomic bombs in North Vietnam to defoliate forests and destroy bridges, roads, and railroad lines bringing supplies from communist China. During the storm of criticism that followed, Goldwater tried to back away from these drastic actions, claiming that he did not mean to advocate the use of atomic bombs but was “repeating a suggestion made by competent military people.” Democrats painted Goldwater as a warmonger who was overly eager to use nuclear weapons in Vietnam. Though he won his party’s nomination, Goldwater was never able to shake his image as an extremist in Vietnam policies. This image was a key factor in his crushing defeat by opponent Lyndon B. Johnson, who took about 61 percent of the vote to Goldwater’s 39 percent.

Today's Republican Party is nothing but jokers, clowns, rednecks, extremsists and Bible thumpers. That has been established for some time now!
