FDR was the American Dictator.

The sad thing is, we now have a fair amount of "conservatives" who admire FDR and his socialistic policies.

FDR was the American Dictator.

That's what my father thought. My Dad was orphaned at three in 1913, so he went through a lot of this nations history until the 60's. He said he voted for FDR twice, but began to see that Franklin was on his way to being America's first dictator. My beloved "Ol' Man", became a Republican in '42 and passed on a Republican in '65. Not long after he voted for Barry Goldwater.

...Sad indeed...I recently had a little 'run in' with some FReepers [http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/965671/posts] who called themselves 'neo-conservatives'...They were defending the 'welfare state' as being completely compatible with 'conservatism'...
