Right on! FDR was a disaster then and since then we have paid for his liberal leanings. And it just gets worse and worse. The man was a socialist and maybe even a communist. Why people hold him is such high esteem is beyond any rational reasoning.
Why so? Most people in this country are pro-big government. Witness the numerous posters on this forum that rave against free markets at every turn and urge Bush to do something about high gas prices and jobs outsourcing, for instance. That's on a conservative forum, mind you. Also, how many republicans spoke up in the six years preceding their defeat in Congress against the ballooning size of government. Not one, to the best of my knowledge. Conservatives want the preservation of cultural norms and religion, perhaps, but not free markets. The anti-corporate feeling is as high as it's ever been. Why would people who actually celebrate Roosevelt's views hold him in less than high esteem?
