I think that’s a misquote? Do you mean moderation at the expense of justice?
no it was originally written by Karl Hess for Barry Goldwater’s Arizona senator’s Republican convention acceptance speech.
Oh, I see. Don’t moderate the pursuit of justice.
I read it wrong. I thought it meant that it was no virtue to take a moderate position in order to pursue justice. Silly me.
