William F. Buckley JR. Looks Forward With Barry Goldwater on Politics, Etc. (1989-10-16)
About this film
Different topics, same vision, clear as the desert air. BG: "I voted against federal aid to education, and I argued strongly against it, because I don't believe that some jackass sitting in Washington can tell my teachers in Arizona how to teach our children. I want to leave that up to the parent-teacher associations, if we still have them, leave it up to the families." ... "There is a very determined, strong effort going on in this country to take away the prerogatives and the strength of the President and confer them onto the legislative branch. I don't believe in that.... You'd be amazed sitting in that body if you listen to the amendments that are being offered that just mean: Move a little more power, move a little more power."
