Dementia Series-Disabled Legend Barry Goldwater

Barry Goldwater was born on 2 January, 1909 and died on 29 May, 1998. Barry Goldwater was a five-term United States Senator from Arizona from 1953 to 1965 and from 1969 to 1987 the Republican Party's nominee for President in the 1964 election. Barry Goldwater was a Major General in the U.S. Air Force Reserves. Barry Goldwater was also referred to as "Mr. Conservative". Barry Goldwater is the politician most often credited for sparking the resurgence of the American conservative political movement in the 1960s. By the 1980s, the increasing influence of the Christian Right on the Republican Party so conflicted with Goldwater's libertarian views that he became a vocal opponent of the religious right on issues such as abortion and gay rights. Goldwater concentrated on his Senate duties, especially passage of the Goldwater-Nichols Act of 1986.
