Thanks for posting this.

FDR once sent a warship back to retrieve his dog, Fallah. And when questioned, he made light of it at the expense of the Republican that would dare question him.

IMHO, FDR was a demagogue of the first order. Words were just a tool to him.

In spite of what he may have said, FDR was a tyrannical nut. He was the most destructive president we've ever had.

BTTT!

Worst. President. Ever.

It seems like everyone is agreed that FDR was a scumbag.

Now Bush is saying things similar to FDR.

FDR used WWII to create a command economy which rescued him from the Depression and made homogenizing and bureaucratizing our society much easier.

What is Bush doing with his continuing Imperial exploits?

And don't forget the Tehran Conference at the end of WW2, Roosevelt, his pal Stalin, and Churchill.

Churchill was opposed to giving Stalin what he wanted. Roosevelt and Stalin carved up Europe. Roosevelt was an accomplis in a horrendous crime against the peoples of Eastern Europe, condemning to Communist slavery for 40 years.

My favoite FDR quote was his last in Warm Springs, GA:

"When this war is over, I'll be the most...ungh...powerful man...arrgh...in...the wo-rld...aaaaaaahhhhh..."

Here are some quotes I like from FDR. But when Bush makes similar assertions, he is a 'stupid-neocon-religious right-wing-wack-job-imperialist-ect...'.

Interesting post. Of course it must be taken in the context that FDR is the neocon George Washington.

Poor GWB is Charlie McCarthy in the lap of the neocon Edgar Bergens.

"Today, thinking of our children and of their children, we oppose enforced isolation for ourselves or for any other part of the Americas."

I think we should be making this world a safer place for our children, but not for our children's children, because frankly, I don't think children should be having sex...
