All I know is that FDR's war crimes had nothing to do with his support for the New Deal, so applying modern labels to him is meaningless, whereas the government's failure to deal with Hurricane Katrina had everything to do with Conservative thinking -- as did the deaths from tainted spinach (because we underfunded the FDA), the inability of No Child Left Behind to live up to its name, and the inability of many poor people accused of crimes to get equal justice under the law. Conservatism kills.
