Indeed it isn't!  Goldwater is the guy who awakened me politically.  Although I was still in HS at the time, I literally cried when he lost to Johnson.   It's as though I somehow unconsciously knew what was about to befall us.
I still have my Goldwater Dollar, but I lost the tie in the fire (narrow black tie with Goldwater '64 on it). I used to wear it to local GOP meetings, just to gig 'em.
How God must weep at humans' folly! Stand fast! God knows what he is doing!
Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
