"By 'we' do you mean Conservatives or Americans in general? Do the initials FDR ring a bell?"

Touche.

Even so... FDR had four terms to do his damage. Nixon had a term and a half, and in that time it's arguable that he did more damage than even FDR. I mean, Federal wage and price controls, for heaven's sake! That wasn't just a mushrooming socialist entitlement, that was a fascist's fondest fantasy. And I'm having trouble coming up with something FDR did that blew as big a hole in the Constitution as the establishment of the EPA, which turned the interstate commerce clause into a metastatizing cancer.

So, we can argue. Both men were Bad News for the cause of liberty in America.

FDR was much worse than Nixon could ever hope to be. By 1938 the Revolution was over, without firing a shot.

Nope. Not even close. Nixon's measures were temporary fixes to economic problems that bordered on the ones FDR faced when he took office. We are still paying the price for many of FDR's "solutions" to this day.
