Subject: RE: BS: Reasons for being a Conservative
There is an awful lot of talk about neo-conservatism. What do you liberals believe is an appropriate "handle" for neo-liberals?

JTS:Since Barry Goldwater is dead, I really don't believe anyone can hazard an accurate guess of what he might think of modern conservatism.

William F. Buckley, in his recent book about Barry Goldwater's 1964 campaign and the months leading up to it quoted a noted conservative (wish I could remember who it was) as saying, "Any person age 21 who is not a liberal has no heart. Any person age 41 who is not a conservative has no brain." Sounds good to me.
