so let's just agree to disagree ;).
I'll go a step farther - I am one conservative who believes 100% pure capitalism isn't a good thing. Some - I have to emphasize some - regulation is necessary to keep abuses of the system at bay.
I'll also say that the New Deal did have one sliver of merit to it: it emphasized the idea that people need to keep working. The LBJ model of big government dis-incentivizes work, and that is a bad thing.
