My earliest political memories are of my old daddy’s raging against FDR. Daddy was a conservative in the days when that term didn’t carry quite such a big stick and was about actually conserving things. I grew up with that familial heritage and am to this day conservative in the ways that I have always defined it. That definition has been hijacked to a very large degree and I hardly recognize those who espouse conservatism today.
