Reaganfan's Reaction

[anvi]

Actually, I remember a wonderful episode of Family Ties where a black family moves into the Keaton's neighborhood, and a bunch of the white neighbors start threatening to move out because they're afraid their property values will decline because of the race of the new homebuyers.  When those other white neighbors meet at Alex' parent's (I don't remember their character names) house, not only do the liberal parents denounce them for their racism, but Alex even chimes in and points out that the only way property values will go down in the neighborhood is precisely if all those white people start "panic-selling."  On top of that, Alex kept lionizing Nixon, who, if I'm remembering correctly, was a pretty liberal Republican by today's standards.

Based on that episode, if today's conservatives were "Alex P. Keaton conservatives," I'd be very, very happy.
