In the mid 1930's with the U.S. firmly in the grip of The Great Depression, FDR brought socialism into vogue to a desperate population under the banner of The New Deal. It was fervently embraced by some and vehemently denounced by others. Therein lies our story:
A young man was taking his grandfather to church one Sunday. As they were leaving the church, the new deacon was at the front door with the priest shaking hands with the congregation. When the young man and his grandfather reached the pair, the young man said: "Grandfather, this is the new deacon."
The old man, being hard of hearing, replied: "A New Dealer?"
"No, grandfather, the new deacon." the grandson answered, a little louder.
"A New Dealer?"
"No, grandfather, the new deacon,"and the grandson added, "He's the son of a bishop."
"Yeah, those New Dealers, they all are."
