Hugh Gallagher explored what he called FDR’s Splendid Deception in his 1985 book of that title. In the title Gallagher was referring to FDR’s concealment of the polio-related paralysis that struck him in 1921. Gallagher was also a polio victim who understood the pain underlying Roosevelt’s efforts.
Researching the book, Gallagher found that among the 35,000 photographs of Roosevelt at his presidential library, only two featured him in his wheelchair. Media of the day cooperated by ignoring his polio. Roosevelt himself went to extraordinary lengths to convey the impression that he could walk.
“[T]he overwhelming fact about [FDR] is that he was horribly crippled, and yet through sheer persistence and will, rose above his lower body” — so wrote my teacher Jeffrey Hart in his memoiristic history of America in 1940, From This Moment On. Hart added: “In rising above his crippled body and seeming to walk again…Roosevelt told everyone that America rise again and walk too.” Put to one side that we had to rise again in 1940 by overcoming Roosevelt’s domestic policies.

“Of late Biden exhibits both the empty stare and open mouthed toothy grin so characteristic of advancing dementia. Worse still is that for major speeches like the recent SOU he appeared to be drugged, likely with stimulants. It is painfully obvious that Biden is not well and mentally and physically incapable of being president and commander in chief. To think he is again running for President is is incomprehensible, yet the media ignores the obvious.”
It also means he’s a setup for assassination, being so shot full of feel good drugs that (pray God it doesn’t happen) all anybody needs to do is alter the recipe a bit and no more Joe.
“I feel no more sympathy or pity for him than I would have felt for Stalin or Mao as they choked out their last seconds of life on this plane of existence.”
Obola was our Lenin; Biden is our Stalin.
+ 100!!
“Their greed, avarice, and lust for power could lead directly to everything from a nuclear war to nationwide famine and the misery and deaths of millions...”
Worse, these grifters never think they are the cause, they blame us. Parasites never realize they’re killing the host.
Biden has a bad disease, beside a lifetime of being evil. FDR was an evil evil man. He was the perfect man for the time, if by perfect you wanted the US Constitution destroyed. Everything that is wrong with the country, began in earnest with FDR.
Great post there, just outstanding.
Imagine if FDR was healthy enough to be President until 1960. He would have been the forever President. They never would have pushed the 25th amendment. We would have Obama in power forever.
If he did not have polio, he would have been healthy to live until around 1970, most likely.
*err 1960.
If you looked at the Yalta pics, you knew FDR had 6-months left, tops.
FDR should have sent someone else to handle the negotiations at Yalta.
Thank you
