21st Century Movement
Barry Goldwater is generally regarded as the father of the modern conservative movement. A United States Senator from Arizona, Goldwater's insistence upon conservative principles helped redefine the Republican Party, transforming it into the party of conservatism and conservatives over the course of the 1950's and 1960's. Goldwater received the Republican presidential nomination in 1964; in his acceptance speech, he gave voice to a sentiment which has resonated with conservatives ever since. "I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.” <ref>http://usconservatives.about.com/od/thinkersanddoers/a/Goldwater.htm</ref>
