Roosevelt was a tyrant socialist who took us 1/3 of the way to what his contemporaries Stalin and Mussolini brought to their countries. FDR put the final nails in the coffin of the Republic, and gave us the USSA that we live in today. He was an egomaniac phillanderer who ignored the legacy of Washington and ran for four terms. Unconscionable. While he did a good thing winning WW2, because he had surrounded himself with Communists and Useful Idiots he was played like a honky tonk piano by Stalin and sold our greatest allies in WW2, the Poles, into 50 years of totalitarian domination. For nothing. He failed to allow Patton, our greatest WW2 general (and we had a lot of them) to take Russia and end the red menace. The result of this idiotic policy was a generation (which I belong to) that grew up doing duck and cover drills. He was as close to a dicatator as I hope we ever see and made free Americans turn in their GOLD. Their money. He set the example that all commie gun banners most admire in this: not court orders, no legislation, just pure executive hubris. Idiot leftist's think Bush has damaged the Constitution. HA! FDR was everything Bush was not, and more.

Oh, yeah, his New Deal failed to end the depression too. He was an incompetent economic czar, despite all the attempts to paint him otherwise.

I have issues with Truman and Kennedy too, but there are precious few who are in FDR's category of evil egotism and totalitarian enablement. If you like the USSR, he's your man. He loved them, clearly.

Ditto that. Good sketch of FDR. He created the perception that judicial activism was legitimate too. The most unAmerican President we’ve ever had.

Exactly my thoughts about FDR, I’m glad it’s not just me. I felt unpatriotic for not hailing this man who undemocratically wedged the thin tip of socialism into American government, all so he could pander to the working class for votes and stay in office for a record four terms. What a way we have come from men like Washington who saw it as a reluctant duty to serve as President, “serve” being the operative word. That was why he was reluctant. FDR is no hero in my book.

Well, can’t argue with you on that....

FDR also advanced rule by unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats - a dictatorship. I simply can’t put forward a worse president than the fascist FDR.

If FDR had been around in 1776, the founders would have considered him a royalist Tory and hanged him.
