FDR and his fugly wife were commie sympathizers and were the reason why we’re a socialist nation.

You are forgetting about Woodrow Wilson.

Wilson is the negative example of why you don’t place your trust in academics or elect them to high office.

“You are forgetting about Woodrow Wilson.”

You’re ‘forgetting’ Teddy Roosevelt, who was the one who initiated the changes that Woodrow Wilson routinely gets blamed for by historical illiterates like Glenn Beck and Dinesh D’Souza. The income tax amendment, the national monetary commission that led to the Federal Reserve System, both were sponsored by Teddy during his presidency.

It’s not a coincidence that TR ran on the 1912 Progressive Party ticket, splitting the GOP vote between himself and William Howard Taft. Teddy was a progressive, as many Republicans of his day were.
