Route 1 Phone 276-5252 NEWBERRY, S. C. STRAIGHT TALK . . . (Continued from page 1) ism and Birchers has no more validity than grouping Com munists and Catholics. And we all know some misguided people who are guilty of that. The word “extremist” is much used by politicians whose theme- song is “Down By The Old Main stream.” Most politicians are ded icated not to principles but to staying in, and they’ll ride what ever wave will keep them afloat. To amoral Socialists like Nelson Rockefeller, anyone who bucks the Establishment, even though ex tremely right, is an extremist. “The Right Wing is dividing Am erica,” they scream. Of course, “There will be no conflict when all the world is communist,” as the moderate Communist Khrushchev, proclaims. “The rightists have bred lawless ness in our nation,” say the col lectivists. No. But lawlessness has been bred by our Attorney General who encourages civil rioting, and by leftists like Fulbright who de liberately undermine the Consti tution. The prime goal of most conservatives is to preserve our constitutional government under God. It is not “lawlessness” to contest, by legal means, dictator ial givernment action. In a society of cannibals, an ex tremist is a vegetarian, whereas a moderate advocates eating on ly certain people on certain oc casions. In a society of atheists, a Christian is an extremist. And an agnostic is a moderate. Mod eration is not a virtue when one is moderately wrong or moder ately sinful. In Lincolnesque language Goldwater said in his acceptance speech: “Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice; moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.” Christ had this to say about “moderates” (middle-of-the-roaders, a relig ious type He denounced in ex treme terms: “I know thy works that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou are neither cold or hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” Rev. The leaders who are deliberate ly undermining our Constitution, spending us into bankruptcy, fos tering an all-powerful, centralist government and deliberately dis arming us and merging us with history’s most diabolical, anti-Ged conspiracy are guilty of extremism bordering on treason. GOLDWATER is the main stream of conservatism, American ism, and Republicanism in this country now; Rockefeller, Keating, Javits, Scranton, and other ex tremists should get out of the Republican party and join the Johnson-crat extremists. The Liv id Left agonizes over and tries to select the Republican nominee and then votes Democrat. The liberals were for ANYBODY but Gold- water at the Republican Conven tion, because Goldwater was the j only conservative in contention, Between now and the election, every responsible citizen owes it to himself, his children, his God and country to read these three book* A CHOICE NOT AN ECHO —NONE DARE CALL IT TREA- SOON (75c each), and A TEXAN LOOKS AT LYNDON (one dollar) Order from Farm and Ranch, P. O. Box 6429, Nashville* Tenn. About ten miles from where I live there is a large and beau tifully kept cemetery where Yankee, soldiers fell in the Bat tle of Nashville are buried. When I was a boy I used to ride by there with my granddaddy. He would look over at those * meticulous rows of white mark ers in the blue grass and shake ’ his ‘head saying, “There just ' ain’t near enough of them.” I came from a long line of yellow- dog Democrats. I grew up want ing to fight the Civil war over. I saw ‘"T* 1 ® Birth of a Nation” four times, and every time I expected the South to win. When I was a boy chills would run tip and down my spine when I heard “Dixie,” and they still do. Robert E. Lee was my num ber one hero, and he still is— with Thomas Jefferson a close second. It used to irritate me to hear the GIs referred to as Yar.ks, and it still does. I have never voted for the party of my ancestors in a presidential elec tion. Many die-hard segregationists and professional Southerners are proud that they have not broken the promise to their grandpappies never to vote Republican. They talk about going for George Wal lace and throwing the election in to the House of Representatives. If no one candidate gets the ma jority of votes in the Electoral College, then the House of Repre sentatives decides the election. Each state gets one vote which must go to one of the three per sons polling the most total votes. Let us assume that the top three were Goldwater, Johnson and Wal lace. Wallace would then trade with whoever would offer him the best trade. That would be John son. Johnson is in the best trad ing position. A trade with John son would be worth exactly noth ing.. Or suppose Wallace, knowing Johnson, ■ trades with Goldwater. We’re right back where we were, and in getting TO that trading po sition Wallace would have taken a tremendous gamble. For the odds against throwing the el®®' tion into the House are at least no better than one in ten. Why should conservatives take that gamble when we can’t possibly WIN that way? The odds are that Wallace as a third candidate would take enough southern states away from Goldwater to assure John son’s election. We esm’t win by “trades” in the House or else where. We must win or lose on principles, 4 seething Lyndon Johnson is extremely short on. A vote for George Wallace or any other ., conservative would be in most states a vote for Lyndon Johnson. How tragic it would be if the South, in what could pos sibly be the last election we shall know in a fre® Republic, should refuse to vote for the only elect- able conservative because he is a Republican and thus elect Lyndon Johnson and his socialist party. It is inexcusable for any informed conservative to fail to work and vote for Goldwater over Johnson. As a Southern Democrat and con servative, I am for Barry Gold- water as the ONLY electable con servative- Goldwater’s voting record, ac cording to some voting indexes, is more conservative than Senator Strom Thurmond’s. And that’s go ing some. How a man VOTES is what counts, not how he TALKS. We KNOW Goldwater. Former Barber Dies In. N. C. John Frank Thompson of Char lotte, N.
