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.

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.
