I used to think that Eisenhower, with his expressed mercy toward the National Socialist in WWII, was the best President. He, of course, coined the term, "military-industrial complex." I have recently opened up to JFK. Democratic, Republican, or otherwise does not matter. So many are corrupt these days.
Now, fifty years later, what has history (past) and present have shown us about this man's (president's) speech and his actions? Poverty: what is poverty? Material? Spiritual? Intellectual? Moral?
I feel in my heart and in many others that we will not stand anymore for what these coorporations and tyrants, bankers and war mongers are doing to every person in this world. I choose to stand up today against evil, and the greedy who take from my brothers and sisters. This is our time. Our time is now!
i love how liberal morons think JFK is saying ask what you can do for your government. he isnt referring to the government at all, he is talking about the people that embody the country. its "we the people" that make a country, not the corrupt government.
Notice, that a modern day President, invoked scripture in his inaugural address and sought the hand of G-d to help this country and it's people. Name one President who did so after.
There is such a contrast between JFK and Bush/Obama. JFK made it clear that every form of dissent, including "outrageous conspiracy theories", should be echoed and amplified... while Bush/Obama made it clear that we should not tolerate such "outrageous conspiracy theories". I prefer JFK's suggestion's over the current suggestions we hear today. I think the human race deserves a break. Can't god, or at least us, the people, put someone like JFK in power of the most powerful country in the world?
@christopher19894 JFK also lived in a time where most people weren't braying morons. I believe the kind of dissent he encouraged was "discourse", which is an all but dead form of communication in our society.
I often wonder what men like JFK, Eisenhower, FDR, and Jefferson would think of the quality of discourse that exists in all but the "elite" and academic circles today. They were fortunate to not know a world where people like Alex Jones, O'Reilley, Coulter are considered "intellectual".
hey jfk might have been a great man and president but we must remeber tht without presidents like FDR he may have not been able to run our geat free country just remeber tht
@bansheewhiskey ok cause you know fdrs offive was probably the greatest because it led us through the worst war ended the depretion and basically made us the super power tht we are today
@joeratti ya and half of the fucking things in the 60 years of bull shit since kennedy had nothing to do with it m not saying hes a bad president he was a great one he led us through the second worst war we had (not including this millenium) vietnam its just tht fdr had one of the bigger parts in the creation of the super power tht is the US fdr created the jobs fdr broke the depresion fdr put us throughww2
@timyster1 : F.D.R. ENGINEERED the Depression, and tossed the blame to Hoover. President Hoover felt that the American people were quite capable of working ourselves free of the situation without government intervention, which of course, we were.
@timyster1 : F.D.R. said he would NOT send young Americans into war. Accept it. He said it. It's viewable on film and video. And all the while, he was PLANNING a military confrontation with Japan. Anyone who trusts a politician(public servant)is stupid. The servants MUST be watched and supervised, because as far as the neighbors are concerned, the servants represent US, the masters of the house. Our most vicious and treacherous enemies are in Washington, D.C.
This man makes me proud to be of Irish descent and blood. I'm related to an Irish king (I cannot remember his name to save my life). I am proud to be Irish because of John Fitzgerald Kennedy. God bless and rest his soul
That was the first time I ever actually watched this full speech. He was dead decades before I was born. But, I am truly inspired about the soul of America. We can always start anew.
ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country..wow what an amazing speech, really motivates you..i wish he was never assassinated, i wish we could have seen the greater impact on the us if kennedy had actually fufilled his 1st term and hopefully had won his secondmy history teacher told us that JFK was assassinated by the fbi because he was telling all the us secrets to whores he had sex with everynight..especially Monroe another one who was assassinated by fbi
In solidarity with the American people -- & all people -- I call on the current president, his surviving predecessors, Congress, and all U.S. & intl. media; on all who spoke/wrote yesterday to honor President Kennedy on the 50th anniversary of his inauguration: to speak/write now to honor & examine, for the benefit of the American people -- & all people -- his Executive Order 11110 & its fate. President Kennedy stood up for all of you. Now who of you will stand up for President Kennedy? Who?????
JFK's words should have never be forgotten or left undone, but unfortunately, we have become a nation divided, and sadly enough a nation divided amongst itself. JFK was/is right we should never ask what our country can do for us, but we should always strive to do everything we can for our country. After all we are one nation under GOD, with Liberty and Justice for All. "God's work must truly be our own"
@kenroar Lol, its all in perspective. To southern conservatives in his time, Kennedy was no better than a communist with all his talk of social equality. In the 90s Bill Clinton was painted as the Liberal Messiah and now its the national consensus that he was a moderate - especially when you compare him to the "evil socialist tyrant" that is Barack Obama (lol). 50 years from now - just as with Kennedy - some new liberal will be in office and the men from the past look so conservative.

On this day fifty years ago I was 6, yet I can still remember the hopes and dreams my Mom and Dad got from this speech. They looked upon JFK as a true leader of the American people, not just a leader of a group pitted against another group in our own government. JFK spoke of unity, self sacrifice, and the betterment of all mankind- of coming together and standing tall as Proud Americans.
It was and is not just 'his-story' - but the story , a real life tale that Americans by and large forgot to tell their children .. "ask not what your country can do for you....ask what you can do .....
Sigh, sigh , sigh....
How the trumpet that summoned them fell on deaf ears - that today we are where we are ....
It's crazy how much of JFK's beliefs were in President Obama's hopes for our country. There are just too many haters today who do anything they can to bring down a great President. This should make you think how great of a President we have today. We need to get behind President Obama and help move this country forward! Just like JFK did in the 60s! This is our time!
@deepen2011 Obama is nothing like JFK. He has not voiced any opposition to the federal reserve, has not actually taken any action against the CIA, extraordinary renditions, and Gitmo. JFK was a brave hero to this country, and we have not had someone of his caliber since then.
"Haters"? You sound like a child. He has instituted and continued bad policy and people have called him out on it.
"Dissent is the highest form of patriotism" - Thomas Jefferson
@Destroyer220 Actions and policies are more important than words from a speech. JFK has probably been one of the most overrated presidents in U.S. History. Why on Earth are we giving credit to a president who endorsed entitlement programs, regulation, foreign aid and had a naive approach of bringing peace to the world through invasions (Bay of Pigs) and continuing Eisenhower's interventionist policies in Vietnam of supporting corrupt governments. JFK=welfare + invasions= un-American.
@jimmyt3411 Overrated?! Pres. Kennedy refused to support the BOP invasion upon realizing it was a trap. Allen Dulles admitted it was designed to force JFK to agree to the full scale invasion the CIA wanted - an act that could've led to war with the Soviets. He saved us again during the CMC, ignoring psychos like Gen. Curtis LeMay. In Oct. '63 he signed NSAM 263, an order that called for all US troops to be out of Vietnam by early '65. Had he lived, there never would've been a war - dumbass.
@LeilaParasina How is anything designed to force politicians to agree on policies they do not approve of? Makes no sense. JFK consciously agreed to send U.S. trained cuban exiles into Cuba in an attempt to overthrow the Cuban regime, which failed. The Soviets felt threatened after this event and secretly began building nuclear weapons in Cuban bases. This justified Soviet Aggression lead to the confrontation between the U.S. and the Soviets (CMC). The BOP invasions CAUSED the CMC!
@Destroyer220 The idea that JFK was a brave hero, a dissenter, a man of caliber is a total myth. Read, for example, Seymour Hersh's excellent book "The Dark Side of Camelot", which tells the full story: both Jack and Bobby Kennedy were highly unscrupulous power grabbers who cheated all the way to the top and were determined to stay there no matter who had to pay the price.
The differences between Kennedy and Clinton are staggering. While Clinton gave our entire patent library to China, along with the ability to launch and target ICBMs, Kennedy actually tried (too fast, unfortunately) to right major evils in this country.
1. He printed REAL MONEY to fight our economic enslavers, the Federal Reserve.
2. He instituted a plan to phase out the CIA and the FBI.
3. He stopped Operation Northwoods, (stopping certain nuclear USSR war.)
The death of this man signaled the end of the american dream. I can't imagine how it must've felt that day, to see all hope for the future of america shot and murdered in the street. What we could have been!
that was a awsome speech, every sentence, every thought and idea truely is remarkable in thought, JFK in his short terrific tragic rein, made the biggest impact on me.
I'll probably catch hell for this but I personally feel JFK and Bill Clinton where the single greatest president on economic policy and world affairs bar none both are highly revered and it helps that Clinton's idol was JFK. and they took them both out one with a bullet the other with a sex scandal and white water..It seem like any time the countries doing great that's when there's the most unrest we as a whole need to silence the politicians and elect people who aren't influence by greed.
One person asked, "What happened to the democratic party?" Another asks, "What about the republicans?" My friends they are still there, they are only bought & paid for. JFK was an accident, one that got through the gate before they knew what he was. That is why they had to fix that problem! The president's job is to merely support a status quo. If not they would never be elected. But in the event that one slips by, they are eliminated! It's time for a new system, for the old one has failed us!
Always in our hearts, in our memories. John Kennedy's courage was an example to the world. An inspiration for all generations. May God bless his soul and his recently departed speechwriter Ted Sorenson and loyal friend, Sgt. Shriver!
@danbennerdotcom I read a book about JFK, called " 1000 Days " , thats how I knew. I was watching the TV with my family when we heard that President Kennedy had been shot, I remember my Father crying. We lived in Ireland.

What he's saying around 2:55 brings me back to thinking about the whole globalization/anti-globalization issue. If nations need to truly 'work together' to fight the common enemies of man, how can this be done without abolishing nationalism by definition of the word.
It can't! Nationalism is a form of unity causing of the fragmentation of society & prevents the capacity for world unity. Nationalism is the means by which the corporate-elite control & exploit the politicians for if the leader of one won't fully cooperate they merely go to another nation who will! True world unity requires our sovereignty to exist at the level of individuals who are an ends-in-themselves, not at a level of nationality which makes us merely a means-to-an-end for exploitation.
@TheHonda550 . I was thinking aloud for our politicians who get elected and all they think about is themselves, here we have a man that lost his life in the pursuit of happiness for this entire countrymen.
@NoProblemhere your words said: "What can my lobbyist do for me so I can further screw my country and my fellow citizens"? I think Americans must ask what they can do for their country AND NOT WHAT THEIR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR THEM. But they are lost right now. Americans need as much guidance as they can get in this period of great confusion. They have no idea that they are being usurped by mega corporate industrialists fighting a hundred year war.
Look at all the rich cocksuckers behind him like "yeah we've heard this all before, havn't we boys.. we all know hes not going to actually do anything to change the status quo"
Then they realized he was serious, and we all know how the story goes from there... RIP John, we miss you.
My point of view is, that it was not just a speech of empty words. He and his brother really wanted to make a great nation better than it was. And USA was in the peak of its history then (my opinion). But there was a group of men who didn't liked that man, and... That is history. But one can imagine how the world had been if JFK could have 8 years to show his ability to work for a better world and a better understanding between all nations in this our world. And the same we can imagine for RFK.
One of the top Presidentioal addresses in american history imo. What happened to the days when President's weren't afraid to speak like this and not try to "dumb down" their speech to make themselves seem more like the average guy...JFK was from one of the richest families in the US gets voted to office and still speaks like the educated man he was. Sheesh
watch the reaction from the lady and man infront of jfk and his wife they guarded they're faces the woman shielded her face with the right side of her face and the man look at the driver and then duck behind the seat in fear of being shot....look closely and you will see fear greer killed kennedy (his brians and blood splatter backwards)
Listen to FDR's first inaugural address. It speaks to us TODAY. He is describing America TODAY, and he brilliantly presents a plan to address it. I feel that FDR's inaugural address is far superior to JFK's.
In his first 2 terms, FDR put himself ahead of his country, JFK did not.
There is little comparison, except for the fact that both men were exceptionally charismatic and influential. The key difference is how they used their influence and power.
@seth917 You obviously didn't read my comment, as you're not addressing it.
My comment is about THE SPEECHES, not about THE MEN or THE PRESIDENCIES. All I was saying is that FDR's INAUGURAL ADDRESS was superior. At the time I made this comment I had been studying the rhetoric of Obama, and trying to discern why Obama's rhetoric during the campaign captivated people, whereas I found his words to be impotent. So I studied other inaugural addresses and found FDR's superior to JFK's.
@seth917 If you actually listen to FDR's speech --- that actual inaugural address --- he explicitly says that many people will try to label him a socialist. He knew that would happen. So he explains in the address that his "big government" programs, as you call them, are intended to be temporary measures just to address the emergency of the depression.
If you read "Wall Street and FDR" you will see that the guy was a capitalist and spent years as an Investment Banker.
Being an "investment banker" at one point in one's life does not mean that same person is a capitalist.
Also, just by him "saying" he's not a socialist, does not mean he is not a socialist. The fact of the record is that FDR implemented SOCIALISTIC programs that are STILL in effect TODAY.
And by saying "they are necessary" does not mean they are not socialistic programs.
And the fact of the matter is they are NOT necessary, in fact they are a detriment to society.
@seth917 The fact that the programs are still in effect today does not mean that he intended them to be. Does it? MANY of them were repealed by FDR.
And he didn't say that they were "necessary". He said that he was experimenting to see if it would do the trick. Listen to the speech and you'll hear that.
Also, implementing socialistic programs does not represent a wholesale transformation of society into a socialistic system. He didn't destroy the capitalist system. It still exists.
@seth917 If being an investment banker at one point in one's life does NOT mean you're a capitalist, then implementing a few socialist programs at one point in one's life does not mean you're a socialist. Let's use symmetrical logic here.
Corporate socialism is detrimental too. Bush should have let those banks fail, declare bankruptcy, and be sold off at a discount. That way, the operations could have been maintained, but the stockholders would have lost out.
I agree, Bush should have let the banks fail, however that doesn't get to the root of the problem.
The root of the problem is the fact that governments throughout the world, not just in America, have their hands in the economies which creates the economic crisis' we are seeing.
If you are not going to fix the problem at its root core, or premise, then letting the banks fail will only address part of the problem - AND will allow history to repeat itself... Which it WILL.
@seth917 But, another point is that if you listen to FDR's speech, he could be speaking today. It becomes clear that he was facing EXACTLY the same situation Obama was when he entered office. FDR talks about "the money changers and speculators". I mean, if Obama had given FDR's speech on his own inauguration, it would have been perfectly appropriate and relevant.
The difference is that Obama just talked about the IDEA of hope, whereas FDR INSPIRED hope by talking about his plan.
However, FDR I'm sorry to say my friend, was a socialist if not communist, through and through. Not bc of what he said, but bc of what he did.
However, if you think those programs were necessary during the great depression, at least REMOVE them once the depression ended. They are socialistic programs & the gov't creates more problems by keeping them, than if they would abolish them (of course abolishing would have to take place over time)
@seth917 FDR HIMESELF didn't think that the programs were necessary. He was at a loss as to what to do. All he knew was that Hoover was doing NOTHING and he felt he had to experiment until something worked. He said this in his speech. It was experimentation. He didn't know whether what he was doing would work. He had no idea.
There have been LOTS of Presidents since FDR, and LOTS of Congresses, that have not removed those programs. So you'd have to accuse all of being socialists.
I also WOULD accuse them all of being socialists because they all (with a few exceptions) WERE socialists to varying degrees i.e. if one supports a socialist program one is (to a varying degree), a socialist.
@seth917 I don't know your age, but I'm in my 40s. And although I said above that FDR was a capitalist, I really don't think in such simple, black-and-white terms. Political, economic, and social balance must be achieved in society for stability. FDR, whether you want to reduce him to a simplistic label or not, was attempting to counterbalance extreme imbalance in society at the time. Wealth had accumulated with dictatorial corporations, and it was detrimental. He was counterbalancing that.
Further, "dictatorial" corporations were not the cause of the depression. The gov't, Hoover and those before him, created the depression by artificially restricting and manipulating the economy, which led to the stock market failure at the end of the 20's / early 30's.
Further, I agree w/ you that FDR was "trying" to fix the economy. Where we disagree is in describing his actions. I describe FDR's actions as socialistic.
@seth917 I was a finance editor for 4 years, and an economics publisher for 3. Economics is not black and white. It's a messy social science whose philosophy is rhetorical.
I just did a little research, and most of the programs were ended at the end of WWII. The ones that remain are Social Security, the FDIC and the SEC. Detrimental? Would you say that a huge percentage of the population is lazy and unproductive because they're thinking about the Social Security gravy train? Doubtful.
I'm not calling the average American lazy, quite the opposite, the average American is more productive than any other citizen in the world! And we're proud of it!
1) economics IS black and white (we will have to disagree). It is ONLY when it becomes shades of grey that we have depressions and recessions.
2) Yes most of the new deal programs were ended after WW2, however, those that remain ARE socialistic. "Social" security is about as socialistic as you can get.
@seth917 And I don't know what history you've been reading, but the crash was caused by SPECULATION, and the popping of a huge bubble. And that popping was caused by the coordinated efforts of guys like Morgan, who pulled out of the market weeks before the crash, then came right back in and bought up companies at HUGE discounts.
@seth917 If you look up a definition of socialism, it involves the "public ownership of the means of production". FDR did not take over businesses and centralize industrial decision-making. It's absurd to call him "a socialist".
a political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.
Each and EVERY one of FDR's New Deal programs were socialistic according to the definition of socialism.
FDR was a socialist on a good day and a communist on a bad day.
@seth917 The US government, under FDR, did not take over privately-owned businesses and make the "public" property. It didn't own the means of production.
The gov't DID take control over the "means of DISTRIBUTION" in many industries e.g. farming.
And control the EXCHANGE of production through the AAA, and FDR's Executive Order 6102 made all privately held gold of American citizens property of the US Treasury. This ladder example could also falls under the communistic definition.
These are just two (HUGE) examples of FDR"s socialistic programs.

look at johnson's belittling posture and body languange towards jfk. he is wringing his hands in a disbelief. he claps and shakes his hand but almost to appear supportive
JFK is probably the most overrated president, since he was martyred. But really, he didn't even finish his first term and didn't really accomplish anything politically. (and of course he was embroiled in the whole Bay of Pigs fiasco.) He could have been a good president, especially after how he took care of the whole Cuban Missile Crisis, but it's all just speculation.
Obama is another puppet ... Just like every other mutherfucken corporate president since, Kennedy is the last TRUE president of the United States of AMERICA
Type "problems with government healthcare" and hit I'm feeling lucky for a list of reasons straight from Great Britain's own press why "free" healthcare is a problem.
@matbgood....A civilized population? The monarchies of Europe use to use that same stupid phrase to justify the divine right of Kings. Think of what will happen to your free healthcare when the only nation doing decent R&D in medicine has to stop because it can no longer afford it. The whole world will suffer from this healthcare bill. Bringing the US down to your level will not help anyone.
it's incredible how some of you americans are against free public healthcare. Living in europe it is easy to realize that free public healthcare is one of the key points which a civilized population should have, and see that some of you still oppose to such a reform is just incredibly unbelievable.

In the 90s Bill Clinton was painted as the Liberal Messiah and now its the national consensus that he was a moderate - especially when you compare him to the "evil socialist tyrant" that is Barack Obama (lol). 50 years from now - just as with Kennedy - some new liberal will be in office and the men from the past look so conservative.

On this day fifty years ago I was 6, yet I can still remember the hopes and dreams my Mom and Dad got from this speech. They looked upon JFK as a true leader of the American people, not just a leader of a group pitted against another group in our own government. JFK spoke of unity, self sacrifice, and the betterment of all mankind- of coming together and standing tall as Proud Americans.

@Destroyer220 Actions and policies are more important than words from a speech. JFK has probably been one of the most overrated presidents in U.S. History. Why on Earth are we giving credit to a president who endorsed entitlement programs, regulation, foreign aid and had a naive approach of bringing peace to the world through invasions (Bay of Pigs) and continuing Eisenhower's interventionist policies in Vietnam of supporting corrupt governments. JFK=welfare + invasions= un-American.

@jimmyt3411 Overrated?! Pres. Kennedy refused to support the BOP invasion upon realizing it was a trap. Allen Dulles admitted it was designed to force JFK to agree to the full scale invasion the CIA wanted - an act that could've led to war with the Soviets. He saved us again during the CMC, ignoring psychos like Gen. Curtis LeMay. In Oct. '63 he signed NSAM 263, an order that called for all US troops to be out of Vietnam by early '65. Had he lived, there never would've been a war - dumbass.

@LeilaParasina How is anything designed to force politicians to agree on policies they do not approve of? Makes no sense. JFK consciously agreed to send U.S. trained cuban exiles into Cuba in an attempt to overthrow the Cuban regime, which failed. The Soviets felt threatened after this event and secretly began building nuclear weapons in Cuban bases. This justified Soviet Aggression lead to the confrontation between the U.S. and the Soviets (CMC). The BOP invasions CAUSED the CMC!

@Destroyer220 The idea that JFK was a brave hero, a dissenter, a man of caliber is a total myth. Read, for example, Seymour Hersh's excellent book "The Dark Side of Camelot", which tells the full story: both Jack and Bobby Kennedy were highly unscrupulous power grabbers who cheated all the way to the top and were determined to stay there no matter who had to pay the price.

1. He printed REAL MONEY to fight our economic enslavers, the Federal Reserve.
2. He instituted a plan to phase out the CIA and the FBI.
3. He stopped Operation Northwoods, (stopping certain nuclear USSR war.)
4. He revealed the illuminati

@seth917 You obviously didn't read my comment, as you're not addressing it.
My comment is about THE SPEECHES, not about THE MEN or THE PRESIDENCIES. All I was saying is that FDR's INAUGURAL ADDRESS was superior. At the time I made this comment I had been studying the rhetoric of Obama, and trying to discern why Obama's rhetoric during the campaign captivated people, whereas I found his words to be impotent. So I studied other inaugural addresses and found FDR's superior to JFK's.
MercierBradleyMichae 1 year ago
@MercierBradleyMichae
Sorry for missing the first part.
I agree with you that FDR was a brilliant speaker. My dislike of FDR is his large gov't philosophy.
JFK on the other hand, though he favored gov't programs e.g. medicare, he was much less socialist than FDR.
Obama, however, well he I think is simply confused and without a philosophy so he leans toward socialism because that is what his party favors.
Sorry for misunderstanding your post earlier, but these are my thoughts
seth917 1 year ago
@seth917 If you actually listen to FDR's speech --- that actual inaugural address --- he explicitly says that many people will try to label him a socialist. He knew that would happen. So he explains in the address that his "big government" programs, as you call them, are intended to be temporary measures just to address the emergency of the depression.
If you read "Wall Street and FDR" you will see that the guy was a capitalist and spent years as an Investment Banker.
MercierBradleyMichae 1 year ago
@MercierBradleyMichae
Being an "investment banker" at one point in one's life does not mean that same person is a capitalist.
Also, just by him "saying" he's not a socialist, does not mean he is not a socialist. The fact of the record is that FDR implemented SOCIALISTIC programs that are STILL in effect TODAY.
And by saying "they are necessary" does not mean they are not socialistic programs.
And the fact of the matter is they are NOT necessary, in fact they are a detriment to society.
seth917 1 year ago
@seth917 The fact that the programs are still in effect today does not mean that he intended them to be. Does it? MANY of them were repealed by FDR.
And he didn't say that they were "necessary". He said that he was experimenting to see if it would do the trick. Listen to the speech and you'll hear that.
Also, implementing socialistic programs does not represent a wholesale transformation of society into a socialistic system. He didn't destroy the capitalist system. It still exists.

@seth917 If being an investment banker at one point in one's life does NOT mean you're a capitalist, then implementing a few socialist programs at one point in one's life does not mean you're a socialist. Let's use symmetrical logic here.
Corporate socialism is detrimental too. Bush should have let those banks fail, declare bankruptcy, and be sold off at a discount. That way, the operations could have been maintained, but the stockholders would have lost out.
MercierBradleyMichae 1 year ago
@MercierBradleyMichae
I agree, Bush should have let the banks fail, however that doesn't get to the root of the problem.
The root of the problem is the fact that governments throughout the world, not just in America, have their hands in the economies which creates the economic crisis' we are seeing.
If you are not going to fix the problem at its root core, or premise, then letting the banks fail will only address part of the problem - AND will allow history to repeat itself... Which it WILL.
seth917 1 year ago
@seth917 But, another point is that if you listen to FDR's speech, he could be speaking today. It becomes clear that he was facing EXACTLY the same situation Obama was when he entered office. FDR talks about "the money changers and speculators". I mean, if Obama had given FDR's speech on his own inauguration, it would have been perfectly appropriate and relevant.
The difference is that Obama just talked about the IDEA of hope, whereas FDR INSPIRED hope by talking about his plan.

@MercierBradleyMichae
This I would agree with more.
However, FDR I'm sorry to say my friend, was a socialist if not communist, through and through. Not bc of what he said, but bc of what he did.
However, if you think those programs were necessary during the great depression, at least REMOVE them once the depression ended. They are socialistic programs & the gov't creates more problems by keeping them, than if they would abolish them (of course abolishing would have to take place over time)
seth917 1 year ago
@seth917 FDR HIMESELF didn't think that the programs were necessary. He was at a loss as to what to do. All he knew was that Hoover was doing NOTHING and he felt he had to experiment until something worked. He said this in his speech. It was experimentation. He didn't know whether what he was doing would work. He had no idea.
There have been LOTS of Presidents since FDR, and LOTS of Congresses, that have not removed those programs. So you'd have to accuse all of being socialists.
MercierBradleyMichae 1 year ago
@MercierBradleyMichae
I generally agree with you about the first part.
I also WOULD accuse them all of being socialists because they all (with a few exceptions) WERE socialists to varying degrees i.e. if one supports a socialist program one is (to a varying degree), a socialist.
seth917 1 year ago
@seth917 I don't know your age, but I'm in my 40s. And although I said above that FDR was a capitalist, I really don't think in such simple, black-and-white terms. Political, economic, and social balance must be achieved in society for stability. FDR, whether you want to reduce him to a simplistic label or not, was attempting to counterbalance extreme imbalance in society at the time. Wealth had accumulated with dictatorial corporations, and it was detrimental. He was counterbalancing that.
MercierBradleyMichae 1 year ago
@MercierBradleyMichae
Actually economics is black and white.
Further, "dictatorial" corporations were not the cause of the depression. The gov't, Hoover and those before him, created the depression by artificially restricting and manipulating the economy, which led to the stock market failure at the end of the 20's / early 30's.
Further, I agree w/ you that FDR was "trying" to fix the economy. Where we disagree is in describing his actions. I describe FDR's actions as socialistic.
seth917 1 year ago
@seth917 I was a finance editor for 4 years, and an economics publisher for 3. Economics is not black and white. It's a messy social science whose philosophy is rhetorical.
I just did a little research, and most of the programs were ended at the end of WWII. The ones that remain are Social Security, the FDIC and the SEC. Detrimental? Would you say that a huge percentage of the population is lazy and unproductive because they're thinking about the Social Security gravy train? Doubtful.

I'm not calling the average American lazy, quite the opposite, the average American is more productive than any other citizen in the world! And we're proud of it!
1) economics IS black and white (we will have to disagree). It is ONLY when it becomes shades of grey that we have depressions and recessions.
2) Yes most of the new deal programs were ended after WW2, however, those that remain ARE socialistic. "Social" security is about as socialistic as you can get.

Absurd to call FDR a socialist??
Here is the Webster definition of socialism:
socialism |ˈsō sh əˌlizəm|
noun
a political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.
Each and EVERY one of FDR's New Deal programs were socialistic according to the definition of socialism.
FDR was a socialist on a good day and a communist on a bad day.

what happened to the democratic party?
did their balls fall off or did they just sell them to lobbyists?
same goes to republicans ... what happened to the leader like IKE? all we have now are corporate lapdogs. hopefully obama does not dissapoint.

@ISinisterI Obama has already begun to disappoint. He has already gone against his campaign promises. He is just puppet for the democratic party.

@Rayman3424 I could not have said it better. All he cares about is this health care thing that will ruin us if it passes

it's incredible how some of you americans are against free public healthcare. Living in europe it is easy to realize that free public healthcare is one of the key points which a civilized population should have, and see that some of you still oppose to such a reform is just incredibly unbelievable.
