Dennis Miller? Toby Keith? Rush? We have to shake this thing up. Subvert the dominant paradigm.

The Reagan Revolution ended with Geo. H W Bush (it was his turn) kinder gentler nation
Ironic, isn't it?
Reagan was the most successful Republican president of the 20th century....yet the GOP establishment started separating themselves from his policies almost immediately after he'd left office.
Whereas, the Democrats are STILL running on FDR's policies here in the 21st century.
It's hard to win elections when you're only running to win elections.

Was the above photo the one you're referring to, [it's from
this website]?
If it is, the photo was taken in 1976, according to
Wikipedia's Nelson Rockefeller page:
In what would become an iconic photo of the 1976 campaign, Rockefeller famously responded to hecklers at a rally in Binghamton, New York with a raised middle finger.

Before They Hated Ron Paul, They Hated Barry Goldwater Please, let's not confuse Barry Goldwater with Ron Paul-- a conservative leader with a libertarian gadfly.

What did Ronald Reagan say about libertarianism, again?
Inside Ronald Reagan
Reason Magazine
July 1975
REAGAN: If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberalsif we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is.

Conscience of a Conservative (1964) is a must read. Goldwater predicted EVERYTHING that would happen if the liberals had their way. And this was almost 50 years ago.

The key words are “leader” and “gadfly”.

Did you know that Barry Goldwater, Jr. Endorsed Ron Paul? Why would I care?

Thanks for the link but the one I am thinking of.. I am sure I saw it,
was a closeup of Nelson at the podium gritting his teeth in a kind of grin, glaring at the Goldwater supporters who were constantly interrupting his five-minute speech, and his rigid middle finger much like it is the 1976 photo telling the nearby demonstrators "F-You" -- but at the convention the finger was telling the Goldwater people "F-you and die."
After all In the words of Nelson Rockefeller's public relations head, Stuart Spencer, Rockefeller said, "We had to destroy Barry Goldwater as a member of the human race."
IIRC news reports said that it took 18 minutes for Nelson to deliver his five-minute speech -- that was BTW an effort to get a plank in the Party platform condemning the KKK and the "climate of hate" caused by "extremists" -- aimed directly at Goldwater and us supporters!
