Time travellers have told me the best times to go to are the 50's and the 20's jazz age. Back then there was a lot more promise. Future did seem bright to us. Sadly, that is not our case now.
Yes Classical, the cold war has created many communists and socialists within America upto today, lets just hope our western ideas have infiltrated Russians sufficiently to turn them a little@TimeFlipper - Yeah, I can see the point you're making about prosperity and hope after two world wars. You also have to remember too, however, that America was also prosperous (non-stop) for over a century after the American Revolution ended, until socialism and communism first infiltrated the U.S. And the Democratic Party since LBJ is not the same as it was during the 1920s and 50s.
Yes, there were indeed a lot of socialists and communists in that party during the 20s and 50s, but not as many as there are post-LBJ up to today. Remember that we did have JFK, a very conservative Democrat, and it's a shame he was assassinated.
