LoL
More FDR talk.
Then why aren't all first hours dull like this one just because they're going overseas as well as to us?
I've listened to Rush virtually every day for over 20 years....and I don't take random pot shots just for the fun of it. He's my long-time mentor. But some times, he's flat....and today's segments so far have been so. I had hoped he'd be better prepared with lots of inside convention news and analysis. But nothing so far but boiler plate.
Just mild, milktoast criticism of Obama.....why on earth doesn't he wade right in with all cannons shooting and dissect and blow away the scores of lies and marxism fed to the American public in the three major speeches last night, for instance!!!!!
Leni
soldiers don’t have the time or option to be bored but thanks for playin
If Obama thinks he’s FDR, does that mean he wants to try to run for four terms?
Yes!Rush just mentioned the line I was talking about!
he mentioned FDR and that allowed EXPERIMENTATION
he said it last nite
Cliff Clavin called and said Eeanor was channelin the vaginas too
Hmm...Rush just called Jimmy Carter a hick. Then he stopped, was asking his staff if something he said got through or not, and said his staff tried to block something he said because they thought it might not go over well. Then he said all he was doing was calling Jimmy Carter a hayseed.
i took that ‘the change is you’ was like some movie where at the end, the big reveal makes everything clear
WE were the change
WE failed
NOT him
Gosh; Jimmy Carter sounded old and doddering back in 1980.
LOL!
I found an old article from the Atlantic magazine, 1934, that was raving about FDR and how brave he was to experiment with the economy, social programs and empowering unions.
I think that some speech writer researched old articles and speeches from past Democrat administrations and simply lifted something from each.
in 3 days, the democrats told God to go to hell 5 different ways then God spoke thru Donlan
Here is an excerpt from the Atlanic article:
But President Roosevelt is the first statesman in a great capitalist society who has sought deliberately and systematically to use the power of the state to subordinate the primary assumptions of that society to certain vital social purposes. He is the first statesman deliberately to experiment on a wholesale scale with the limitation of the profit-making motive. He is the first statesman, again in a wholesale way, to attack not the secondary but the primary manifestations of the doctrine of laissez faire. He is the first statesman who, of his own volition, and without coercion, either direct or indirect, has placed in the hands of organized labor a weapon which, if it be used successfully, is bound to result in a vital readjustment of the relative bargaining power of Capital and Labor. He is also the first statesman who, the taxing power apart, has sought to use the political authority of the state to compel, over the whole area of economic effort, a significant readjustment of the national income.
No unbiased spectator of the adventure involved can withhold his admiration for the courage such an effort has implied. Success or failure, it bears upon its face the hallmarks of great leadership. Improvised in haste, devised under the grim pressure of crisis, imposed, as no doubt it has been imposed, in an atmosphere of panic and bewilderment, it stands out in remarkable, even significant, contrast to the economic policy of any other capitalist government in the world. Compared, for example, with the unimaginative activity of the British Government, -which rode to power on a wave of kindred enthusiasm,—it is an exhilarating spectacle.
