I'm pro-gay, anti-war, pro-legalization, anti-religion...yeah, I'm a huge conservative. Not sure what realignment elections has to do with it...unless you're talking about the shift in voting practices in the south from mostly democrat to mostly republican in the 70's...the 1970's.

Ah, sorry, I was assuming you were talking about from the depression to WWII, since I was talking about the depression. Hence my confusion. Post-WWII we get into a mire that I don't think either of us is prepared to postulate on...I think you would at least be cognizant enough to recognize that international trade exploded after WWII, and this certainly played a role in our economic recovery despite who was in charge. Whether we like it or not, on the macro scale our economy is tied to the world...we see evidence of this in the patterns that developed after the growth of international travel capabilities in the late 1800's and early 1900's, through both world wars to the point where the global community is pretty much the same as it is now. While I can't really point out too much that Truman (D) or Eisenhower (R) did after WWII to directly relate to economic recovery, I think it's more a by-product of the world recovering from what was, at the time, global devastation on a level not previously seen.

War is hell, but it makes a lot of money...before, during, and after.

The world wouldn't have gotten the chance to have that international trade without the 100% employment economic/supply powerhouse that was Roosevelt's achievement.

There've been a number of realignments. At that point in time we had a Democratic Party that was interested in a state rather than federal focus.

And yet when I mocked Zimbabwe I was flaked. FLAKED!

I think Zimbabwe is doing the best it can.

I'm mainly curious about your Venezuela to French Connection.
