Every so often, Big Brother rewrites history to change the country's lifelong enemy. I first noticed it about 10 years ago.

One man's treason is another man's talk show, I guess. Barry Goldwater said that and the liberals raked him over the coals for it. That was the 1964 presidential campaign and it was one of the scariest statements ever to come out of the mouth of a presidential candidate. You usually hear that kind of statement justifying anything from murder to police states to dropping nuclear weapons. And if you think it was just the liberals who thought so, remember that Goldwater went down in what was then the second-biggest landslide in election history.
