[Scott · Rating 4 out of 5]

Enjoyable writing, very engaging speech, even today. Though, at times the fight against communism becomes a bit more of a history lesson rather than a ralying call. If it were more about the ideology against communism, okay, but it was primarily red scare when mentioned.

His views on the economy are great, and like all great minds, still applicable today. Arguing against the smooth talkers and their endless supply of money that seems to pull from your own pocket.

Worth a read for any proponent of Goldwater.
