Goldwater Hates the Modern Repugs

Andrew Sullivan has a long quote from Barry G on the rise of the religious right:

Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them...

There's more, but that's the money shot.
