Somebody give Hank a kerchief.
He’s got a little on his chin.

Youre sorry a certain expression of American ideals is, or often appears to be, completely over. The legacy of the Roosevelts--big government, imperial presidencies, New Dealism and welfare-state socialism--is far, far from over.

when you make it through the marathon that is Ken Burnss beautiful
You mean Ken Burn's DEPRESSING. Everything he touches - even baseball - makes you want to jump off a bridge.

I could be interesting but like I told my wife, I’m not smitten with the Roooooosevelts.

I'll say two positive things about FDR...1) he didn't lose the war....2) he was opposed to government employees being unionized and,IIRC,he had a damn good explanation for that position.
But he *did* have an open Communist as a VP.McCarthy would have been wrong to claim that everyone in government was a Commie but he was right to say that all too many were,including FDR's VP.

I’ll go to my grave a happy man if I can know that progressivism has been erased from the face of the earth.

America is still paying into a deficit for Roosevelt’s fabian utopia. Every. Damned. Day.

“I miss the time before they came along, myself. Capitalism, prosperity, no gibmedats, low taxes.”
You mean the time of the progressives, Theodore Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson?

The legacy of the Roosevelts--big government, imperial presidencies, New Dealism and welfare-state socialism--is far, far from over. This country will never recover from them.

Any bio of Roosevelt is lacking if it doesn’t include Gabriel Over the Whitehouse. It was Roosevelt’s ideal situation on film. Meant to support his power grabs.

I imagined when they said “The Roosevelts” they were including Teddy. Wilson is a horse of a different color. Still the worst president this country has ever had, although Mr. Obama is trying.
