Why is it that people from this era think they have to keep giving FDR their vote 60 years after FDR died?

Many are stuck in their old ways .. plus this is the generation that remember the Depression Era and the stories from that time

Which may be the reason Kerry/Edwards keeps bringing it up all the time

My mother was like that ... till Carter came along.

She would never change her registration .. but she also never voted for a Democrat President candidate after Carter

[bpjam]

Funny, that is what I tell the Demorats in my family. I don't even argue with them. No sense in getting them all worked up into a lather, just let the apathy take over.

[singfreedom]

I wonder about this, too. It is extremely strange to me that a Jewish person, in this day and age, could consider themselves a Democrat! Let alone consider voting for John Kerry, a man who would probably leave Israel high and dry! They, of all people, should understand the danger posed by a "Bill Clinton" clone or worse.

[fire_eye]

Jews are obsessed with "Tolerance". They think that anyone who is "Intolerant" of anything, is sure to eventually come kick their door in waving a Nazi flag.

Therefore, since it is the Demonrat Party which is the more "Tolerant", since as the spiritual heir of Communism it "Tolerates" everything from child rape to mass murder as being the result of "Bad Environment", Jews tend to robotically vote Demonrat.

I.e, their knee-jerk attitude is, "Intolerance of ANYTHING is BAA-aa-aa-aad" while (being incapable, as are all Lieberals, of any form of abstract reasoning) it never occurs to them that ultimate tolerance also includes tolerating Islamikazis who think blowing up Jewish children is a gift to Allah, and that it's the Demonrats who make excuses for the Islamikazis.

Now, this of course applies only to the stupid ones. Any of us with brains can easily see where our real interests as Jews lie.

I wonder about this, too. It is extremely strange to me that a Jewish person, in this day and age, could consider themselves a Democrat!

Joe Lieberman is a Demoncrat, although he sounds like a Bush Demoncrat to me.

[Fiddlstix]

BTTT

[singfreedom]

Do they honestly believe FDR would have approved of Kerry and his hair-brained approach to crisis?

[gortklattu]

He should tell her to have a talk with Dennis Prager.

[spinestein]

Did anyone else notice the age of the anti-Bush war protesters these days? Quite a bit older than the protesters from the 60's. In fact I think they're all the same people, born during the late 40's and early 50's. I was going home from work a few weeks ago and there was an anti-Bush protest going on at a town square. there were a total of FOUR protesters there and all of them were over 60 years old. I stopped and talked to them and they weren't impolite but they did seem a bit frustrated. I told them that if they didn't want to vote for Bush they could vote for Nader as an alternative and they all agreed with me, not even trying to argue the case for Kerry. What's amazing to me, though, is that there were only 4 people there at a protest like this and this is a university town (DeKalb, IL)with some 20,000 students and not a single student was there.

[Choose Ye This Day]

I use the "Shirley" line about once a week with my wife. After 12 years of marriage, she is still not amused.

"Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?"


"We've got to get these people to a hospital right away!"
"A hospital? What is it?"
"It's a big building with patients. But that's not important right now..."

[singfreedom]

I wonder, when Joe is in that booth all by himself, just who he is going to vote for?!! I hope he chooses wisely!

[karnage]

Thanks for posting this, Doug! The panel - which also included Michael Medved, Morgan Brittany, Doug Urbanski, Dan Gifford and Andrew Breitbart - was one of many highlights in an inspiring weekend. Liberty Film Fest has truly fired a shot across the bow of the Hollywood leviathan!

[singfreedom]

You are right, a lot of the Bush haters are my age, part of the hardcore anti-war crowd. Hippies stuck in a time warp!----or just trying to recapture the ardor of youth.

[chuckles]

...."Man, this "familial Jewish Dem vote", 60 years after FDR just defies all logic".....

I agree. FDR sat idly by while the extermination began. Stories were told but supposedly not believed. What really did he have to do with their salvation other than a hapless soldier finding their camps when they were liberating Europe? Everyone was shocked,...shocked, I tell you to find the camps in '44 and '45. Did FDR say "We must do this to save the poor Jews!" Hell no! In fact there was a ship that was turned away from America full of refugee's trying to escape Germany.

To turn FDR into a hero because a Democrat happened to be in office at the time is ridiculous. Today's Democrat would sell Israel down the Palestinian river in a heartbeat. I am a Baptist from the South, so I don't know of any Christians that would forsake Israel. It's our religion. Maybe they blame the Catholics as all "Christians" because of the pope situation in the '40's, but the evangelicals are 100% behind Israel. The Jews need to find out who their friends are and preach it from the pulpit. Every liberal I know is 100% for Araphat! They would stand idly by and watch the 2nd holocaust and never bat an eye.

Course, we Christians do the same thing. We vote for abortionists, sodomites, adulterers, pedophiles, liars, you name it, because "daddy and grandpa said so".

Then there's the union member that smokes, hunts, collects guns, believes in prayer and God, loves his country, fights in the military, etc, but votes Democrat because he separates his political life from his personal life. Then he bitches and moans because they won't sell him a gun at Wall Mart, can't smoke in the restaurant, hates vegetarians, wants prayer back in school, hates France, doesn't understand why his boy doesn't have a Kevlar vest in Iraq, and the world is just "goin ta hell right before his eyes!" I tell him it's the Democrats and he spits his "Red Man" on the ground and blames Bush.

[Bandaneira]

David Zucker might even graduate further up the belief scale and become an "August 14th, 2005 Messianist."

[singfreedom]

Its like Alec Baldwin telling O'Reilly the only reason he is a Dim is because his Father was a Dim. His Father was a teacher so he was "wise" to Alec. My Father was a teacher, too, but he would have disowned me if I told him I was a Republican just because he was! Now you tell me which father was wiser?!!

[T. Buzzard Trueblood]

A bump for Zucker. It takes brass ones to declare yourself a Republican in Hollywood.

Hi Doug from Upland,

It was great seeing you today. This was a GREAT event and I hope more FReepers can attend next year's event.

ALL FREEPERS, Get to www.libertyfilmfestival.com and order all the dvd's or download (many) of the movies available. I especially recommend: "In the Face of Evil: Reagan's War in Word and Deed," "WMD: The Murderous Reign of Saddam Hussein," (be prepared with a box of tissue), "Michael and Me" (Larry Elders' documentary about the 2nd Amendment), and "Brainwashing 101" (about political correctness gone amuck on American college campuses).

[mugs99]

If John Kerry wins they can kiss Israel goodbye. Kerry supports the French position on Israel...It belongs to the Palestinians.

[wayne_shrugged]

Karnage, I was there at this event -- it was GREAT! I really mean GREAT on many different levels!

Someone I met there was just smiling as he looked around the auditorium and said, "in LA I feel I'm autistic (being conservative in this bastion of liberalism) attending an autistic convention -- so I'm not alone afterall!" LOL!

I knew exactly what he was talking about!

EVERYONE, Get thee to www.libertyfilmfestival.com and download or order the dvd's to ANY of these fine movies. I recommend: "In the Face of Evil: Reagan's War in Word and Deed," "WMD: The Murderous Reign of Saddam Hussein" (be prepared with a box of Kleenex), "Michael and Me" (Larry Elders' documentary about the 2nd Amendment), and "Brainwashing 101" (about political correctness gone amuck on American college campuses). Good viewing -- go get them FReepers!
