When Wendell Willkie ran as a Republican against FDR, he went out of his way to say that he was a Liberal and that he supported Liberal causes.
And the truth is, Willkie actually was a Liberal. If he were running as a Republican today, I'd have to seriously consider changing parties.
How sad it is that nowadays many of our most liberal politicians are ashamed to even speak the word "Liberal", let alone describe themselves as such.
How ironic it is that nowadays Willkie would be considered a part of the FAR LEFT WING of the Democratic Party.
As for myself, I'm proud to be a LIBERAL.
