Reply #131: You foist off adjectives and assumptions and characterizations

as political discourse. Of course, for any of us to claim, as you often do, or as Andy Sullivan often does, that a fantasy you build up, 'what if we had a time machine, and could replace FDR with a grape? I KNOW what others would do, in this contrived fantasy of my own consturction!', has any actual meaning or worth. Of course, in your imagined scenarios your imaginary characters behave as you desire, they are in your imagination, living a scenario you imagine them to be in. Your fantasy life proves nothing at all.
Now in reality, many of us are part of Democratic families, and although FDR was before my time, my understanding of him and of the Democratic Party's defining principles come from my father, who heard the Fireside Chats, who was hit very hard by the depression, who served in the Navy with FDR as Commander in Chief.
Not all of us were raised in a vacuum, nor are we all youngsters. Your what if scenario is a long way to go to make an absurd, unsupported slam against those who are not as conservative as you are.
