lol, someone wrote 'SUPREMECOURTSTACKER' in the keywords...

FDR was scum. He grovelled before Uncle Joe Stalin at Tehran and Yalta (against Churchill's advice), imposed the modern welfare state upon America and needlessly embroiled the United States in the European Theater of WWII (and, arguably, the Pacific Theater as well).

That modern Republicans would openly admit to admiring this worthless man is a testament to how far from conservatism the party has strayed.

And to that end I beg pardon, as I had no intent to hijack the thread. I think that the article presents an intriguing POV and a valid perspective...

[Rabble]

No Pardon Necessary - My comments DID NOT apply to you. Sorry if that's the picture you got.

[farlander]

Far worse. The Islamic fascists are hell bent on killing all of us. The domestic enemies would have us all killed for their delusions and power lust.

President Bush should simply pull an 'Andrew Jackson' and completely ignore her ruling.

[Rabble]

"They want to stray off topic and attempt to divert the focus from fdr by comparing him to others.

A Correction was Necessary!

[Beagle8U]

"Perhaps a better comparison than Bush to FDR would be Liebermann to FDR,"

Or, Carl Marx to FDR?

But back on topic, Anna Diggs Taylor is going to have a rough time dealing with the next few months.

First her stupid ruling will be overturned, then to really pee in her cornflakes, in November the ballot proposal to ban affirmative action in Michigan will pass.

She did play a roll in court cases on that, which in turn caused it to be put on the ballot so it cant be vetoed or overturned by the court.

Please read post# 27.....

I also like the fact that FDR had kidnappers, bank robbers and Nazi saboteurs fried.

I admire FDR for only one thing: he successfully led this nation against the killing machines of Japan and Germany during World War II. Regardless of his other political beliefs, he deserves credit for that. Yet none of that is relative to this post. 'Fear itself' and the use of it by those politically opposed to Goerge W. Bush is the point of this thread.

FDR literally gave eastern europe to Stalin like he personally owned it.. His wife was a commie, and Alger Hiss(and Chambers) was a trusted employee of his... FDR was pretty much like our John Conyers.. and his wife resembled Henry Waxman in drag..

"President Bush should simply pull an 'Andrew Jackson' and completely ignore her ruling."

Last thing GW should do, IMO. That would legitimize the Dhimmicrats suggestion of GW's "hereditary powers" and "prove" that the Bush administration believes itself above the law.

This ruling is gonna get beat like a rented car and Diggs is going to look plenty foolish (as well she should!) for rendering such a simple-minded, self-serving steamy pile.

I suppose the Dhimmmicratscold have chosen a larger caliber with which to shoot themselves in the foot, but, given their general ineptness, they did pretty good! ;'}

If I understood the judges free speech line of argument then there is a HUGE hole it it's logic. The ACLU is given standing, even though no one has come forward to claim they've been personally affected, based upon the assumption that people are afraid to call the ACLU for fear of being under surveillance. The flaw is, the program does NOT monitor US to US communications but only international calls when one part is suspected of Al Qaeda ties. Now the judge is either suggesting that the ACLU is an Al Qaeda tied organization OR those whose are afraid to call the ACLU are people tied to Al Qaeda that are external to the US. So which is it that she believes is accurate? If the latter, than what right under US law do terrorist tied individuals outside of the US gain a right to protection from surveillance?

Dear yer honor: 'Knock knock! Anyone home? Playing fields are only supposed to be level in sports. Battlefields must be tipped in our favor. We're talking survival here, not 'game, set, match,' time-outs or extra innings.

[FreedomCalls]

The one who allowed thousands of American servicemen to die so that he could allow Pearl Harbor to occur?

Uh Oh. Not another one of them "LIHOP" people .... Ug.

"Our domestic enemies are almost as sick as our Islamofascist enemies."

Agree with Farlander ... the NYT editorial board and their ilk are FAR WORSE. They're a native-born sleeper cell, who should know better.

Do you recall the NYT making the same kind of ruckus when the previous administration took the FBI files of some 900 Americans? Did the ACLU sue over it? I just don't remember.

[singfreedom]

This old Bit@h is a Carter appointee, for Heaven's sake, what should we expect? An incompetent appoints an incompetent. This was an absolutely absurd ruling. I agree with the author, the only possible injured party she could find is the "enemy".

[singfreedom]

No, actually I agree with him on all but the allegation about Pearl Harbor. He's right, BUT FDR did guide us through the Second World War and, as such he receives my respect.

[RasterMaster]

DUmocrats are on the same team as the islamonazis...both seek our defeat. If today's politicians, judges, etc. can't understand the WOT then they shouldn't be anywhere near positions of power.
