I'm going with the Paleozoic Era. Pre-continental shift, pre-dinosaurs. Good times!

When the OP asks a stupid question, that doesn't mean we have to give him a stupid answer to it.

Despite prosperity for many, 25% of the population lived in dire poverty.

Cult of Obama? I'm far from being a right winger and I cannot stand the guy, period. I think he's one of the right wing (in essence) corporate stooges, only differently packaged and marketed.

I think conservatives for the most part want to go back to pre-FDR America, when it was every man for himself and "I would rather be dead than on the dole" a popular saying. A lot of conservatives say the problems today all started with the New Deal.

I know quite a few self-proclaimed working class conservatives mooching big bad gubberment as few welfare queens can. Most of them would be dead if we go back to pre-FDR America, or, as the very least, they would have shed 200 extra pounds they carry.
