I agree with you. And, BTW, you couldn't care less about his politics. Me neither.

Shenandoah isn't all that hot. It's a nice drive, but nothing special except to the bikers and roadster crowd. I think it was mostly a make-work project near enough to the media in Washington to show that Roosevelt's WPA/CCC was working in creating jobs.

The Washington-Jefferson National Forest already existed and could have been turned into a park, but Virginia/FDR decided to expropriate land and build a road to nowhere. You've got to actually get into the mountains for the WAsh/Jeff Forest, so maybe FDR's advisors told him he needed something closer to DC.

New York Republicans are the original RINOs. Teddy Roosevelt was a socialist, a racist, an imperialist, and a Big-Government nanny-stater par excellence.

I couldn’t agree with you more......

That’s because Ken Burns IS a “Friend of Dorothy.” You will see him with his partner at any function.

He sees everything through the prism of Civil Rights. Always has.

[Borges]

How so? I've seen a bunch of his films and they focus almost exclusively on personal stories and racial discrimination.

Burns is on the government payroll. The subjects of his films will never be anything more than window dressing for his “government is good, more government is better” narrative.
