Over Christmas holidays, had a get-together, as usual, with a Dem sibling. Until this year in the interest of family peace had treated his political affiliation with loving tolerance. He's a high school counselor, so took his totally liberal workplace circumstances into consideration and deliberately tried to avoid politics.

Not this year - the future of the USA is too important to let them take a pass on their programmed, wrong-headed political biases.

The opportunity to point out the stupidity of Obama's socialist programs did arise and my sibling's only retort was that FDR was also called socialist when he enacted the Soc Sec program. That was it - nothing else followed in defense of the Left's community-organizer savior.

One week later I learned that FDR was opposed to gov workers unionizing. Sincerely wished I'd had that knowledge at the time and would've enjoyed hearing the lame defense of that interesting fact. Whenever anyone on the left mentions FDR again, immediately highlight the fact their other idol did not want government workers to unionize. Doubt many of them are even aware of that interesting tidbit.
