Book Reviews of Conscience of a Conservative
Book Review: As relevant today as it was in 1964
Summary: 5 Stars
In 1964, Barry Goldwater produced a superb treatise that calls for smaller, limited government, compliance with the U.S. Constitution, lower taxes and lower spending. He identified the first principle of totalitarianism: that the state is competent to do all things and is limited in what it actually does only by the will of those who control the state. In contrast Conservatives believe that we are morally and legally obliged to comply with the U.S. Constitution ensuring the concept of limited government.
Goldwater then identifies that neither of the two main parties, Republican or Democrat, maintain a meaningful commitment to States Rights and the 10th Amendment, which is a prohibitory rule of law, recognizing State jurisdiction in certain areas: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution nor prohibited by it to the States are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
Goldwater very succinctly explains the Conservative position related to numerous issues to include:
CIVIL RIGHTS - Unless a right is incorporated in the law it is not a civil right and is not enforceable by the instruments of the civil law.
FREEDOM FOR THE FARMER - No power over agriculture was given to any branch of national government.
FREEDOM FOR LABOR - Conservatives favor State right to work laws which forbid contracts that make union membership a condition of employment.
TAXES AND SPENDING - One of the foremost precepts of natural law is man's right to the possession and use of his property and earnings. Property and freedom are inseparable.
THE WELFARE STATE - Marxist objective is to socialize the means of production (and) intend to subordinate the individual to the state, buying votes with promises of "free" federal benefits: housing, school aid, medical, hospitalization and retirement.
EDUCATION - Federal intervention in education is unconstitutional.
Whether you are Republican or Democrat, this book is concise primer on American politics that is as relevant today as it was in 1964.
