Had a long conversation with a former co-worker who has turned conservative. Stayed away from politics, but at some point he started ranting about socialists. I told him that by current standards Nixon and Reagan would be considered socialists. I may have been pushing the envelope with Reagan, but certainly he espoused policies that would be anathema to the Tea Baggers: cut-and-run in the face of Arab insurgents, reduce nuclear weapons, etc. In any case, we didn't get to the fine points, as the response was spittle-flecked screaming.
