is it ok to be a Republican and love and admire FDR ? i do.

[Sergeant Tim]

I do also.

He got us through a war that threatened our way of life. Bush is doing that now, but the opposition would rather have our nation harmed than Bush get credit for success. Our domestic enemies are almost as sick as our Islamofascist enemies.

I think he was a great leader and had a lot of guts. he looked out for our troops and he would never have put up with the anti military liberalism of today. he would be furious with the modern democratic party.

he was a good man.

The ruling will be reversed by the first sane judge that reads it, Anna Diggs can go back to picking lint out of her navel.

[Tarantulas]

That's a great analysis! Thanks for posting it.

[Liberty Valance]

Thanks for the ping...

[Sergeant Tim]

I love your tagline!

[rockrr]

fdr....

I seem to recall an fdr somewhere...

Oh yea. Wasn't he the guy who tried to spend us out of the Great Depression (prolonging it several years in the process)? The one who allowed thousands of American servicemen to die so that he could allow Pearl Harbor to occur? The guy who singlehandedly gave us the largest heapin' helping of Socialism in America via his social programs (which dwarf the misguided Prescription Benefit debacle that we got with GW)? The guy who allowed Communists to operate in his cabinet? The same guy who attempted to stack the Supreme court in order to get his way?

Yea, I heard about fdr.

Never thought very much of him....

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

you sound like a liberal talking about Bush.

[Sergeant Tim]

you sound like a liberal talking about Bush.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

[Sergeant Tim]

Perhaps a better comparison than Bush to FDR would be Liebermann to FDR, despite his running left today suggesting that Rumsfeld resign.

[Rabble]

"Never thought very much of him....

My sentiments exactly! As I recall his wife didn't think much of him as well - after she caught him in bed with her secretary. Never slept with him again.

[Sergeant Tim]

I seem to recall what Eleanor looked like... of course, that and all that time she spent traipsing all over the world on this cause and that would be irrelavent. Actually, FDR and William J. sound a lot alike.

[Rabble]

"Never thought very much of him...."

It appears that some folks on this thread don't like the facts you have presented! They want to stray off topic and attempt to divert the focus on fdr.

[Rabble]

"I seem to recall what Eleanor looked like... "

Her looks had nothing to do with it - he married her. If his wife couldn't trust him - Who could?

[Rabble]

Ah Yes, FDR -- thought so much of Charles Ponzi's scheme he set up an entire social program emulating it! Social Security is pure socialism!

[traviskicks]

FDR vastly expanded the power of the Federal government and almost destroyed the nation. We are still recovering from new deal programs and legislations to this day. I think he was one of hte worst presidents ever....

Judge Rules Wiretaps of Terrorists Unconstitutional

At the urging of the American Civil Liberties Union, Detroit Judge Anna Diggs Taylor has ordered the Bush Administration to shut down the National Security Agency's wiretapping program. “Listening in on someone else’s phone calls is impolite,” said Taylor. “It is an intolerable invasion of privacy.”

The judge brushed aside what she snidely referred to as "King George’s" argument that the taps were necessary to keep tabs on the adversaries of the United States. “There is no proof that all of the people being spied on are our adversaries,” Taylor observed. “Even if they are, it would be unfair to spy on them. This would be the equivalent of eavesdropping on the other team’s huddle. It’s not fair. Our Constitution requires fairness. It’s in one of the Amendments somewhere, I think. Therefore, these wiretaps are Unconstitutional.”
