People give FDR way too much credit for being consistent and for having deep-seated principles. They think because the OUTCOME of his terms was "big government" that must have been his plan going in. Well, he certainly didn't oppose it (obviously), but he was a POLITICIAN first and foremost, and would have done whatever the masses wanted. Plus his advisors knew how to "play" him.
It's the Ann Coulterization of the conservative movement. Anyone you disagree with needs to be marginalized, made fun of and named called.
