FDR did more damage to this country than any other president in our nations history. He terrorized business, prolonging the depression and harming those he was trying to help. He was stubborn socialist that refused to see his plan wasn't working. In 1938 I believe, steel production dropped from 80% of capacity to 20% of capacity all due to his inept handling of the economy. The newspapers of the day started referring to him as a dictator because of his far reaching grabs for power.
You are what I like to call a blind fool who enthusiastically cheers those who have traded security for our freedoms.
A fool who believes government dependency is a compassionate gesture instead of slavery.
Being your brothers keeper doesn't mean taking wealth at the point of a gun with government force. It means practicing individual responsibility and individual charity. Not institutionalized, faceless funds appearing on your government debit card each month.
Sure. FDR was the blundering incompetent who built the majority coalition that dominated American politics for the next 40 years until it was fragmented by the social upheavals of the 60's. And built it so well that Reagan Democrats are still Democrats because they are New Dealers at heart who want their party to junk moral deviance and return to its roots.
He was such a fool that he got elected more that two times. The Constitution was amended because of his success. And the 1950s were the result of New Deal.
FDR over-reached in some areas. But he was handed the opportunity on a silver spoon (that's intentional) by the reactionary right and took it.
The Reagan revolution was NOT about the re-emergence of unfettered capitalism. It was a reaction to the corruption of the Dimowits, who were unknowingly mimicking the Pubbies of the '30's and '40's.
