At the 1964 Republican Convention, Barry Morse Goldwater said this about Liberty during a stirring speech where he accepted the Republican Nomination:
"Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. ... Moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue."
I remember well that the Democrat Party and Bill Moyers branded Barry Goldwater as a dangerous fanatic who would blow up the world. They made this smear throughout the 1964 Campaign, despite the facts that Goldwater was not only a distinguished Senator and a very good friend of the late JFK, but also that Barry Goldwater was a General in the US Air Force Reserve!
