Geez.

I didn't even get in to branding us like Cattle with the Social Security number, and forced taxation,forced rationing, global world war.

So no That strawman don't fly.

Po-Nazi

The only difference between Hitler and FDR was FDR didn't have gas chambers.

Lol, the only thing that won't fly is your ridiculous sovereign citizen nonsense.

That's lowbrow even for you....

I believe kindergarten was the last time sticking your fingers in your ears and screaming 'Na Na Na Na boo boo' was effective, but to each their own.

Roosevelt] was always... finding new victims to loot and new followers to reward, flouting common sense, and boldly denying its existence, demonstrating by his anti-logic that two and two made five, promising larger and larger slices of the moon. His career will greatly engage historians, if any good ones ever appear in America, but it will be of even more interest to psychologists. He was the first American to penetrate to the real depths of vulgar stupidity. He never made the mistake of overestimating the intelligence of the American mob. He was its unparalleled professor.

Some would say there is no difference between a Democrat and a communist.

Is there?

Yes. A communist wants everyone to own everything. A democrat wants to take everyone else’s money for their current “cause” while keeping all their own property and money.

Raymond Moley and the brain trust wrote some killer speeches for FDR. That was why I had him top of the list. Reagan in his radio days with General Electric also wrote some killer speeches as he became more right wing before finally becoming a Republican. His best speech around then was Sunset in America, that he later in life revisited with his Sunrise in America speech as president.

One could make the argument that Reagan was the Republican answer to FDR. An interesting what if would be exploring Reagan’s foreign and domestic policies in place of FDR’s in 1932. Might have made a difference not only to the Great Depression but pre-WW2 Europe as well as post war Eastern Europe.

This man is your prophet eh? Now your positions start to make much more sense:

"I admit freely enough that, by careful breeding, supervision of environment and education, extending over many generations, it might be possible to make an appreciable improvement in the stock of the American negro, for example, but I must maintain that this enterprise would be a ridiculous waste of energy, for there is a high-caste white stock ready at hand, and it is inconceivable that the negro stock, however carefully it might be nurtured, could ever even remotely approach it. The educated negro of today is a failure, not because he meets insuperable difficulties in life, but because he is a negro. He is, in brief, a low-caste man, to the manner born, and he will remain inert and inefficient until fifty generations of him have lived in civilization. And even then, the superior white race will be fifty generations ahead of him."

Fdr sure the eff isn't.

Critics of Roosevelt's New Deal often liken it to fascism. Roosevelt's numerous defenders dismiss this charge as reactionary propaganda; but as Wolfgang Schivelbusch makes clear, it is perfectly true.Moreover, it was recognized to be true during the 1930s, by the New Deal's supporters as well as its opponents

Move the EFF on.

Nice try at redirecting, but you literally just quoted an avowed Eugenicist and racist as a prophet to your opinion on FDR.

Not going to let you skirt past that one boyo.

I don't have a problem with your opinion on FDR (however much I disagree with it). I have a problem with you quoting a racist to back up your position (insomuch as the inference of you agreeing with a racist opens a whole other can of worms).

Answer the GD question.

WHAT was racist or eugenic about THAT quote?

I used to have some conservative values but since the Trump fiasco, that's all changed.

When I first went into business, I was a Republican. Now I'm just disgusted with the racism and Lies coming from the right.

Although I used to be registered as a Democrat...

I have never voted along party lines...I go with whoever is the best choice.

Nothing about that specific quote. Are you going to argue that Hitler said some good stuff too now?

To clarify, if you a racist with repugnant ideas has anything of value to offer, then I question just how much you disagree with said racist......
