Nothing to Fear but Fear Itself

[dragonsder]

This was just kind of stupid.

Fear of Homosexuals?? Lol, What are you afraid they are going to decorate your living room? This is the first time in years and maybe ever that I felt compelled to comment anything anyone has ever posted in a negative way but please indulge me. Fear of abortion? Fear of sex? This is the weirdest thing I have ever seen on you tube. Franklin D. must be rolling over in his grave. Democracy is having the right to be all those things. You don't have to and know one should make you.

Roosevelt is my role model and a role model to mankind. Despite being paralyzed from the waist down this man was pure amazing. He helped America through the toughest times, pulled our nation from Bankruptcy and helped take down a facist totalitarian dictator killing Jews as scapegoats. This man deserves proper respects and is sitting now at the right hand of god in heaven. God rest his soul and may another president as inspirational as him come again

[johnstondr1]

Roosevelt and Churchil saved the world from annihilation and nothing less. We are all here today because of these 2 greatest ever world leaders. Bashing them today 75 years later is crazy. We are sitting here right now, FREE, because of them. If you don't like paying taxes, try living in a concentration camp or POW camp. Taxes might look a little better.

[bugmg]

Is this some sort of Republican/Democratic ad? I did not understand.

[girlystar123]

[ThatGUY666666]

@drewsky684 wow your petty and pathetic

[hendrixgroupie23]

im all for that other than the enviroment and education cuz we kinda need those XD

[MattD023]

WTF! He said this during the depression people were scared they had FEAR in them, so he said ''the only thing we have to fear its fear itself'' because we shouldnt be afraid and the same for today to dont be afraid of osama be afraid of fearing him!

[therealfactor]

Exactly. And don't be afraid of the economy, be afraid that a freaking liberal is trying to fix it!!!!

[5P3NC312]

You have taken this way out of context. It has an inspirational meaning, stop perceiving it as a bad message and making yourself look like an ass.

[sharinganclan213]

still a great president no matter what. better than bush, nixon, bush snr....

[therealfactor]

...I don't know about that. But he's deffinately not better than Theadore Roosevelt!!!!

[kamranii]

FDR: The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

George Bush: If money isnt loosened up, this sucker could go down.

[RadicalForLiberty]

Somehow, I think the speech may have been less popular and inspirational had FDR told the truth.

[therealfactor]

Haha, you mean the truth as in he did nothing to fix our economy other than convence us it was fixed? He shut down the banks for a week, told people that when they opened they would be fixed. He did nothing to them and people invested. Haha. You're completely right, but I think maybe the people needed to be lied to at the time you know? I'm not one to argue on behalf of a liberal, but he was a damn good democrat. Haha.

[RadicalForLiberty]

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." That's right. Nobody fear being drafted and condemned to death on some bloody mess of a shore. Nobody fear being kidnapped and thrown into concentration camps. Nobody fear that I will stagnate the production of real wealth, exercise near dictatorial control over every social and economic aspect of society, and piss away future generations by borrowing and spending this country into oblivion.

[tubecraft5]

taken out of context = distortion of the truth

[mrsaintjames]

Too bad you didn't play the rest of the speech. The reason he urged people that it was only fear itself they needed to be araid of was because he didn't want them to fear him proposing a temorary dictatorship if he saw it necessary. Don't believe me? Read the entire speach. I used to think this was a great quote until I read the whole thing within it's context.

[RCLibra]

It's still inspirational. At the time many people wanted FDR to make radical changes to save the country like Hitler and Mussolini did for Germany and Italy. FDR had to fight long and hard to keep people from seeing him as a fascist or communist.

[sheva605]

what a stupid dv

[brittany1leee]

Are you a sophmore at Simmons or something? I just saw a picture of a 6 month old fetus that lives inside my friend. She ( the baby) I'm willing to bet is pretty fucking scared of abortion! Otherwise- I like what you're trying to do ;)

[denimsocks]

This video makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. It doesn't specify any sort of stance on the subjects mentioned, like abortion or homosexuals. Well, it's nice to know that you aren't afraid of sex, I suppose, but that doesn't really mean anything other than the fact that you don't suffer from coitophobia. This is hardly a political statement you're making here. Better luck next time.

[wearelegionanon2]

I afraid this video sucks ass

[scphares]

I'm afraid of clowns.

[revengeofcleveland]

clowns are scary especially when they try to think

[Hastaj00]

[scphares]

@Hastaj00 Nah, just clowns.
