Reading

The Forgotten Man by Amity Shales

It’s an accounting of everything FDR did to prolong the depression.

O is following along precisely. BEWARE

Same thing there.

“Reading

and “Liberal Fascism”

As I as well, it’s hard to spend enough time educating ourselves. Don’t know if we’ll have enough time before it’s too late =(

BTW netmilsmom, I was just emailed the cartoon on your site. I would post it here but not sure how to post pictures.

Read also The Roosevelt Myth by John T. Flynn. It is a contemporary view (1948) of FDRs failed and cynical "progressive" administration.

I knew from the beginning that No-bama was going to try to pattern himself after FDR.

Problem is...he doesn't have the slickness of FDR. He's impulsive and flip-flops all the time.

Another big problem...during FDR's time communism was a new thing...an "experiment" for which the people had a fascination and the MSM of that day tantalized them with shiny, new socialist messages.

We're now at the other end of that bracket where communism has been tried and failed. And our modern day left-wing MSM is LOSING credibility fast. All the Keynesian hype is worn out and the shiny new messages are conservative ones broadcast by an anti-establishment media.

Obama's gonna find out he is more an Elmer Gantry than a FDR.
