FWIW I'm not sure I would pick FDR over Carter. Carter was fairly ineffective in his four years. FDR did major damage in his twelve years not the least of which was stacking the Supreme Court and changing its makeup to this day through that influence. FDR ushered in full blown socialist programs which has established an acceptance of them as appropriate in our republic.
I agree FDR did major damage but Carter did major damage for our current world. Things were different during the FDR years. The Great Depression, WWII. It was different lifestyle and time for this country. Don’t get me wrong, I know FDR sucked domestically and his social programs sucked and we’re still paying for them and will continue to pay for them. But he was decent, far from perfect, in his foreign policy. And fortunately, we rectified that no term limit thing. Carter sucked completely so there’s no comparison, imo. He was the worst president in the 20th century imo.
I completely agree with you on FDR and the socialist programs we still suffer - my parents couldn’t stand him and never voted for him. He was decent on foreign policy, sucked domestically, but Carter sucked on both.
Thanks. I know our education system sucks but it’s all about the home imo. Parents need to parent their kids and no institution will trump that if it’s not allowed by the parents. Parents need to be parents imo and stop blaming everything else for the negatives and their own failings. College and grad school, the lib indoctrination centers, didn’t have any impact on me. And catholic and public school won’t have the most impact on my kids. If they do, then I failed as a parent.
I completely understand Mr. Silverback’s point. We can’t vote for hillary or obama because that isn’t fair to our military, they don’t deserve them as CIC. I don’t think they deserve McCain as CIC either but he is better than the other two. And we have to vote no matter what. I understand those who would vote 3rd party but I’m not sure I can. We know 3rd party won’t win, at least not now.
I still think obama or hillary will be POTUS because McCain won’t win, imo but it’s about how I vote right now, what I can deal with. So I understand if others think differently.
I don’t trust any of them running and I think it sucks that those are our choices. However, if it comes down to McCain v hillary or obama, I can’t vote for the other two and maybe I can vote for McCain. Not sure yet, but I know I’ll be voting.
