FDR Screwed up EVERYTHING
[Third post for the day. Sorry, I was away for the weekend and had withdrawals.]
The Right all seems to have two assertions.
#1 - America is great! We are #1. The best! No one comes close.
#2 - FDR screwed up everything!!!
Okay, if FDR came to power in 1933, unless the folks making these statement are pushing 90 years old, none of them ever took a single breath on this planet BEFORE FDR screwed up everything. So, was America #1 BEFORE FDR, or did FDR and his programs make it so? I'll let the comments answer this question.

George Will goes on and on about this. A waste of time to listen to him.

George Will is as stupid as the rest of the Conservatives. He just manages to express that dim-wittedness in three syllables or more.

Maybe we can tell all the Conservatives who spout the "FDR screwed up everything" meme that, for starters, they can "help fix things" by giving back all the money that Social Security gave to their parents, their grandparents and themselves over the course of the last 74 years.

That would be a good start! We might also ask people how their social security benefits are effected by this economic meltdown. Are they receiving any less?!?

In marked contrast to the techniques practiced at the time by totalitarian regimes overseas, this form of mass persuasion did not encourage adulation of a leader but discussion -- even if only imaginary -- California Game Design College
