The United States is still suffering from the results of the Franklin Roosevelt administration and the Democrat Party that he designed. My parents, grandparents, and great grandparents were all Democrats. My parents and grandparents were enthusiastic supporters of Franklin Roosevelt. Were they alive today, they would repudiate the Democrat Party and what it stands for absolutely and in no uncertain terms. Had they known where F. Roosevelt and his policies were leading the U.S., they would never have given him their support.

My maternal grandparents were hard-core Republicans who new exactly where the "New Deal" would lead. My grandfather would expound for hours in the early 70's about how the "stagflation" economy was a direct consequence of the new deal and great society. They hated FDR so much that my mother relates a story that on the day he died, my grandmother danced down the street of her mostly-DemocRAT neighborhood, swigging a bottle of wine and shouting "hooray! That son of a bitch is dead!"

Hey...I have fantasies about doing JUST that when a certain someone meets his maker....

My mother lived long enough to repudiate the Democrat Party. She became a passionate Republican, in the final years of her life, and had only scorn for the Democrats and what they stand for.

When I was a child, in the third grade, a school teacher encouraged us children to be Republicans. When I told my mother, she said that I was a Democrat--that we were all Democrats--just as she told me what religion I was, and I accepted this.

As soon as I was old enough to read and understand for myself--and vote!--I became a Republican and later a Libertarian!

Years later, my mother became a Republican. She had only condemnation for the Democrats and the Democrat Party.

Had my father, grandparents, and great grandparents lived long enough, they would also have become Republicans and rejected and condemned the Democrat Party.

All people who are benevolent and wise should reject and repudiate the Democrats and the Democrat Party. The fate of the United States depends upon it.
