It was the ‘business plot’ in 1933. They felt that fdr wanted to tax the rich and wall street too much. At the same time they were funding Hitler. I think FDR had too much anti-establishment/oligarchy in him (which I approve of).
We’re run by an oligarchy, and they wanted FDR out. They asked 2 time congressional medal of honor winner Gen Smedley Butler to get a million ww1 vets to camp out at capital hill. They thought that would be enough to get FDR to step down, even though the vets camped out weren’t there for that reason.
Butler turned them in to a special congressional committee. The committee found Butler was telling the truth, but not enough evidence to bring charges against anyone.
Maybe it was as messed up then (before WW2) as it is now (before WW3).
The sad truth is, however, that he is from Wisconsin; the neighboring State of Iowa. He is leading in the polls in IA because of the fact that he is a “Regional” guy. If he wins IA, he could start to pick up steam all the way to the nomination.

Gotcha, newbie defending FDR....sniff, sniffff.
Here kitty, kitty, kitty...
ssshhhhhhh
just between you and me...
I’m lying my butt off in this campaign
I just found this site, like the topics and constant updates. Not a troll.
Okay, but you’ll be watched. Just part of being new here, we all went through it.
Understood.
All immigration is a problem with high unemployment , stagnant wages and record low participation rate.
I support Cruz but his H1B position sells out the thousands of TECH people who they displace from the workforce.
H1B is also about CoC wanting low wage in High Tech.
Can’t fault him for being pro immigration as long as he opposes illegals/amnesty, etc...
Madison Voices...
Nice of you to expose yourself as a troll...
Agree 100%.
I have been wavering between Cruz and Walker as my 1st choice. This drops Walker much lower in my estimation.
Great tag line, btw!
Very interesting info. I did not know that.
Thanks for informing us. FReepers - doing the work the media won’t do.
Would that ever be a team to shake things up in the US!
Since this was posted to “All”, I will share with everyone what I said in my comments on the original Post here on FR.
With all due respect, and I do respect Walker for what he has accomplished in WI, surely you can understand why so many people believed the NYT report; when Scott Walker has changed and back-tracked on various issues time after time. He is a good man but he needs to figure out what his convictions are and stand by them.
Sure, because Walker is so much less reliable than the NY Times. I understand that completely.
No, Walker is much more reliable that the NYT. Now that it has come down to “they said/he said”, I believe Walker. I was just pointing out that until he refuted the statement, it was not impossible to believe that it might be true. I believe the “hit” pieces they did on the Evil Witch, Hillary Clinton. Now, if she denied it, then I’d stick with the Times. She is evil incarnate.
Two topics about the libel shows a rush to judgment around here. We should not have that.
