Do you think of 1937 as "the good old days" when the GOP was isolationist and had about 8 Senators and was self-stifled in rage against FDR and the New Deal. I don't doubt that the New Deal was ideologically in error but I also see no reason for the conservative movement to suicide over issues on which we were obliterated nearly 70 years ago. Whatever our ultimate objectives, we won't be starting with an attack on New Deal programs. can you define realism????

Likewise, we won't be reviving the foreign policy of Neville Chamberlain or Liberty Bell Lemke or Charles Lindberg. Those who want to do either as a leadoff strategy belong among the Libertoonians along with the dopers and the paleopacifist weenies.

Right here, right now.

If you think what happened in 1937 isn't anything to be concerned about, I can't imagine you'll find anything that happened in 1776 or 1789 of any possible consequence at all.

We're supposed to "roll back decades of federal government largesse", without looking back at those decades and the root cause? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.
