Guide to Politics
* As a voter who came of age during the FDR era, I offer the following as a guide to the politically perplexed:
Centrist: formerly known as a conservative.
Conservative: formerly known as a reactionary.
Leftist: formerly known as a New Deal Democrat.
Liberal: proclaims he/she is a leftist but acts like a centrist.
Southern Republican: formerly known as a Southern Democrat.
