Townhall publishes unreadable tripe like this. It tries to be clever but says nothing.
And the establishment had Huey killed since he was a threat to become president.
The Kingfish also got assassinated, some believe at the direct urging of FDR himself. Huey Long was a very real contender in 1936, and his “fascist” appeal was just a logical extension of the “New Deal” offered by FDR. In fact, if careful parallels are drawn between the rise of Adolf Hitler in Germany and the growth of the “Progressive” movement in the United States, the national sympathies of the United States at that time were probably closer to that of the Nationalist Socialist German Workingmen’s Party of 1936 than of the conservative outlook of the Republican party of Calvin Coolidge in 1924.
Certainly, the sensibilities of the New Deal were very much like those of Benito Mussolini of Italy, who “got the trains to run on time”. In the early 1930s, there was a mutual admiration society between the New Deal and the Italian Fascist party.
Look it up.
Exactly right. For the last 8 years, we have been witness to a guy with great messiah-like oratory skills. And what has that gotten us? That and 2 bucks will buy you a cup of coffee.
I am tired of being lectured to by the Washington elites, George Will, Charles Krauthammer, Bill Kristol, etc. who all tell us how terrible Trump is while saying NOTHING about the truly dangerous insane Obama.
When Trump becomes president, there is going to be a great biblical gnashing of teeth. It will be the end of the world as we know it, and I will feel fine.
My thoughts exactly!
