Talk:To Gain the World

It important to remember that Long was not a socialist, he was a leftist populist but not a socialist. There is little doubt that he was a political oppurtunist and that had he been born 20 years later he might have espoused conservative or libertarian beliefs just to get elected. A Long presidency would probably be long, if elected in 1940 (as in this timeline) he would probably still have led america into the war, been relected in 1944, probably served another term in 1948 (under the pretence of an experienced leader and diplomat leading the free world through the cold war) and might have even run again in 1952. Conservatives (such as the author of this timeline) should not use long as evidence of a socialist leader, he was an oppurtunist. 07sameva (talk) 14:21, December 28, 2012 (UTC)
