Conservatives do not elevate the Father of American Socialism (FDR) and Conservatives do not embrace and promote the un... an evil organization with connections directly to satan himself!

LLS,

That kind of thinking gives consevatism a very bad name. FDR was a man who led America during the greatest war in history and planned for the peace following war. He might have been naive about the Soviet Union but to suggest that he was in the same league as Marx and Engels is patently false.

When FDR became president, Milton Friedman was still in school and the most prominent economist was Keynes. No prominent Western government (Britain or France) dealt with the great depression using conservative economics, because the theoretical principles of conservative supply-side economics had not yet been fully developed. (Von Hayek wrote ‘the road to serfdom’ between 1940 - 43).

In fact, the modern Conservative movement did not gather steam until the 1950’s (led by William Buckley).

You cannot prove (from the Bible) that the UN has direct links to satan the same way you cannot prove whether the Fed has direct links to satan. However, you need to deal with both the Fed and the UN.

I am all for a conservatism based on logic and commonsense, not one based on gut feelings, fear and superstition.
