The FDR trashing on this site gets old. Many of us are or were FDR/JFK Democrats. The south adored Roosevelt because he kept the people working and from starving. His Republican opponents were fools. Willkie ran around saying he was more for The New Deal than Roosevelt was. Dewey, Hoover? That who you FDR haters would throw up against Hitler and Stalin?
Roosevelt was a patriot and a fine leader. Southerners loved him. He was a rock, and he gave my parents confidence with the sound of his voice in radio chats.
He got elected four times, and he was a great president.
Roosevelt was a Socialist Dictator who worsened the economic situation in this country. It took 20 years to correct the economic damage he did, and his expansion of government and enslavement of Blacks to his party has done incalculable damage far beyond that which has never been overcome. He was precisely the kind of person the Founding Fathers NEVER wanted as President. If he had his way completely, he’d have an absolute Totalitarian Marxist Judiciary and no non-Socialist would’ve ever been elected to office again in this country.
That anyone would seriously worship him and call themselves a “Conservative” defies all sense and reason.
You want a great President ? Try Warren Harding. He and his Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon cleaned up the mess of the execrable warmonger Socialist Wilson and resolved a “Depression” in a year. A year. FDR despised Andrew Mellon because the latter proved small-government Conservatism worked and Socialism was an abject failure that brought misery and death to millions. The very failed policy and course FDR foisted on Americans.
