Andrew,
We love to bark at each other, but we come at this 100% the same. I was born in 1945 and grew up in a Jewish neighborhood in the Bronx. FDR was a God to my folks and they relayed stories to me that mirror your experiences in South Alabama. Urban ghetto--Rural south, times were tough everywhere then and FDR was larger than life. Same with RR when he rescued us from carterization of the vietnam-watergate debacles into his ideology of "descendancy" which he still supports to this day.
It seems to me that many of today's democrats feel guilty about being ascendant again without government doing the lions share of the work. Thats what gnaws at them about republicans the most--that supply side economics actually works and that the institutionalization of the new deal as well as its bureacratization doomed it to failure. Much the same regarding an aggressive fp as opposed to the impotent one we got from Carter.
By the way imo clinton koshered reagans new deal much like ike and nixon koshered the FDRs. We are probably half way or so into the Reagan revolution before times have changed enough to call for a new better ideology to fit the new times. I think that the failure to address issues like health care, drugs, energy etc. will cause a new progressive view to arise centered on the belief that effective government needs to arise when the private sector fails to address important issues. Similar philosophy as electrification and the TVA. Probably more local and decentralized than before with quick privatization to prevent new deal/great society excesses. If i keep writing this stuff, you will have to get me a job at your university because John wont. (ggggg). Lots of grins on that one for john. Mike
