FDR admired Hitlers brand of socialism, that’s why so much of America is now fascist.

Roosevelt’s Raw Deal planted the seeds for the mess we have today.

Back then in America, “Very Secretive And Manipulative” is what you have to be, if you were a Communist.

At that time, ‘communist’ was the worst thing voters could call you... NOW Liberals wear THAT name as a badge of honor and they regard it as an absolute pre requisite for office.

Who knew?

Even today the left knows they can’t be honest about their true beliefs or agenda,

or no one would give them the power to implement it.

Secretive? She may be ‘secretive’ but I think that it is more a notion of avoiding the press and questions. ;-)

Right...and FDR was fighting a "Depression" and The Second World War. No comparison. Matherw proves again what a horse's azz he is.

FDR was a dumbass that prolonged the Depression, stupidly didnt protect the Navy from the Japanese, and damn near gave away the store to Stalin.

The country was slowly coming out of the Great Depression when in 1936 FDR had the tax on high incomes put at 60-70% (meaning that 60-70% of income was taken) and the country fell into a double Depression. There’s a great line about that in the movie “My Man Godfrey” filmed in 1936.

Right...but I am pretty sure that LOTS of their supporters don’t know or care if there’s a difference between ‘communism’ and anything else.

ALL they know or care about is their ‘free stuff’.

I still consider FDR our worst president. No president trampled on the rights of Americans as much as FDR. Thank God the SCOTUS threw out the National Recovery Act. FDR basically was the pioneer for later failures like LBJ, Carter and Obama.

He would constantly make promises to your face and then completely rescind the promise as soon as you left his office. No wonder an evil bitch like Hillary is compared to the duplicitous FDR. But unlike Hillary, FDR was loaded with charisma.

Most of the libs I know are not that concerned with free stuff as much as they are about themselves being “good people” because they “give” the needy free stuff.

It’s all about the self-righteousness outside of God.

Like Obama, he didn't let a crisis go to waste. FDR prolonged the Depression and made us vulnerable for attack in WW2 to further his socialism.

Great, he engaged in secret machinations to get us into war, even MSM tv acknowledges Pearl Harbor, he gave away eastern europe to Stalin, enslaving hundreds of millions. Good company with the new Madame Mao.

So Tingles considers secretiveness and manipulativeness to be desirable qualities in a leader?

Or does his dim intellect consider tu quoque to be a logically valid argument.
