"Democrats today castigate Republican Senator Barry Goldwater as anti-black. However a review of Senator Barry Goldwater’s record shows that he was a Libertarian, not a racist. Goldwater was a member of the Arizona NAACP and was involved in desegregating the Arizona National Guard.
It is irrelevant what Goldwaters personal beliefs were. The reason 90 percent of whites in the Deep South (read as nearly all Democrats) voted for the REPUBLICAN was because he was against the Civil Rights Act.
And those DEMOCRATS, who voted for Goldwater, who are still alive, ALWAYS vote for the REPUBLICAN presidential nominee in this millennium.
Also, the Libertarian party includes some pure libertarians, but is mostly controlled by “states rights” advocates, who are basically racist thugs who have figured out a way to sanitize their image, and hide their floridly racist principles and perspectives.
