Summary:
Offers a historical view of the
right
since the 1960s. Its core contention is that American conservatism and the Republican
Party
took a
wrong
turn when they adopted Barry
Goldwater
's worldview during and after the 1964 campaign. The radicalism of today's conservatism is not the product of the
Tea
Party
, Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne writes. The
Tea
Partiers are the true heirs to
Goldwater
ideology. The purity movement did more than drive moderates out of the Republican
Party
- it beat back alternative definitions of conservatism. --Publisher.
