DESCRIPTION

The Conscience of a Conservative was written to answer the question of why a conservative nation, such as the United States, was governed by liberal policy-makers. Goldwater believed it was because conservative principles, though predominant among the people, were lacking in eloquent defenders willing to demonstrate their applicability to contemporary problems. Conservative wisdom, as Goldwater points out, comes from the laws of God and the laws of nature, laws which “have no dateline,” and which provide ready guidelines to issues revolving around power, federalism, civil rights, the welfare state, education, and communism. “I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice,” Goldwater said in his 1964 Republican Convention Acceptance Speech, “And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.”



REVIEWS

“There is more harsh fact and hard sense in this slight book than will emerge from all the chatter of this year’s session Congress....Sen. Goldwater is one of a handful of authentic conservatives....he has the clarity of courage and the courage of clarity."—Chicago Tribune

“Goldwater’s conservatism is not isolationism, nor is it a cold-blooded commitment to the ‘haves’ as against the ‘have-nots.’ It is the creed of a fighter who has both a warm heart and a clear mind.”—Wall Street Journal

“The book lays out, clearly and succinctly, [Goldwater's] uncompromising views. Goldwater held freedom as the highest value in American society: freedom from law, freedom from government, freedom from anybody else's vision but your own. You can argue with him on the particulars, but there's something compelling about his quintessentially American notion of self-reliance.”—Los Angeles Times



BARRY M. GOLDWATER (1909-1998) was a five-term U.S. senator from Arizona whose 1964 campaign for president is credited with reviving American conservatism. His books include With No Apologies and a memoir, Goldwater.
