They tried to design a democracy so full of checks and balances that it was bulletproof.
They rejected democracy quite early in the negotiations.

Is there anything Jesse Ventura isn't emotional about?

Was Jesse drunk when he wrote this?
We are a REPUBLIC and not a democracy.
All those “checks and balances” were destroyed by FDR. Court packing? Ponzi schemes for votes? Massively enlarging the federal government that did nothing to solve the great depression. Confiscation of gold. Etc.
JFK by his own ineptitude brought us to the brink of nuclear war. He was an idiot in foreign affairs who had no idea what he was doing,

Let's give the 1% the big wake-up call that they truly deserve.BO is part of that 1%. So was FDR and JFK, though neither was as destructive of the middle class as BO.

As a political thinker and commentator, Jesse Ventura is a heck of a professional wrestler.
To: SunkenCiv
IMO,JFK was the last democrat President that was worthy of even the slightest amount of admiration from decent,respectable,loyal Americans.His Inaugural speech ("we will support *any* friend,oppose *any* foe"),his Berlin speech ("let *them* come to Berlin") and his "a rising tide" speech suggests to me a man who got it...a man who truly cared about this country.
Yes,his private life was a bit of a mess....

But he abandoned people in the Bay of Pigs. His weakness emboldened the Soviet Union and that led into Vietnam.
To: Gay State Conservative
Problem is, he STOLE the Presidency. The more you learn about him, the less respectable he becomes.

[FDR came to the rescue with the New Deal, a program that redistributed wealth from Wall Street to workers who'd lost their jobs as a result of corporate greed and government corruption...]
Most of Europe had recovered while Roosevelt was still raising taxes on a stagnant U.S. economy. What saved the U.S. was the advance of the Nazis in Europe. Europeans began shifting their money and other portable assets to U.S. banks and U.S. markets. Eventually whole corporations uprooted themselves and moved to America. By the beginning of the war the British government had to freeze bank accounts in the UK because of the cash flight to the U.S.
I liked Jesse Ventura until he demonstrated over and over again that he's as crazy as a dung beetle.

Completely bananas. FDR is the poster boy for an unchecked executive. The New Deal pretty much turned the Founders’ vision on its head. You’d think this was written by a guy in a pink tie-dyed suit with feathers on his head or something...

oh great it’s Alex Jones and Jesse Ventura time

JFK by his own ineptitude brought us to the brink of nuclear war. He was an idiot in foreign affairs who had no idea what he was doing, A buddy of mine insists that getting killed was the best thing to happen to JFK's legacy. I tend to believe he's right.

Problem is, he STOLE the Presidency. A careful review of the history books shows that his old man,a truly despicable piece of excrement,very possibly stole Illinois and that LBJ very probably stole Texas (he had a history of political chicanery).Was JFK aware of any of this? Who knows.
