The above quote by “Mr. Conservative” Barry Goldwater brought me up short and highlighted for me just how far the Republican Party has fallen. I doubt that Goldwater would recognize his own party anymore, nor want to be a part of it for that matter. What we are witnessing is the Republican Party’s Faustian Southern Strategy come full circle. The evil it embraced in order to secure power has finally consumed it. We may have lost an election, but the Republican Party has lost its soul. The sweet taste of victory will in due course turn to bitter ashes. God help us all.
“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” Mark 8:36 (KJV)
