As a side note, something I observed over the course of YEARS walking and biking the National Mall and Tidal Basin.

The WWII vets could always be found in decent numbers at the WWII memorial, obviously. But also, in somewhat lesser numbers, at Korea, Vietnam, Lincoln and Jefferson.

But hardly ever at FDR. Always found that to be ... interesting. And wonder whether it was because their alleged love of FDR was blown out of proportion by the Liberal establishment, or if they didn’t want to be reminded of what they experienced with the Depression. Or a combination of both. .

Hey Tanknetter...

My Airborne old man was a lifelong Republican. According to mom, He said FDR was “a worthless, socialist pr*ck”. He didn’t mince words. Neither did Ma...

So yeah... the “Cult of FDR” worship is probably made up, like everything else the libs have done over the years.

I didn’t know that there was an FDR memorial. If I saw it, I’d be tempted to pee on it.
