have cristifori's dream as background music :D

[Fred Aley]

An excellent suggestion. However, I believe I would have to re-create the entire video to add the background music and replace the video entirely. Rather late for that I think. But thanks for the suggestion, I listened to the music and do think it appropriate.

i don't see why you need to argue politics on YouTube comments under a video of the president praying for safety of the American soldiers . . . not to mention that every political party from the beginning of time causes tyranny so republican/democrat is fucking pointless . . . but you shouldn't argue via internet you should argue in the traditional way . . . behind a sword !!!

The New Deal set-up a safety net for Americans who had their livlihoods and savings taken from them through the greed of powerful people and a credit-based banking system. People were starving and had no work. The programs sustained the economy until it could naturally regain momentum. The Republicans wanted to let everyone suffer and the Democrats would not have it.

FDR kicked so much ass, his legs quit working.

sorry everything couldn't be done at once in one presidency, but Truman supported civil rights, which caused the southern democrats to walk out of the democratic national convention in 1948. and it was Johnson who passed the civil rights act of 1964. For the rest of america FDR was still the president, helping to set political changes into motion which would eventually liberate more people from discrimination.

Steven maybe you didnt get the memo but this was when atheists didnt state their beleifs openly as much as alot of americans where christians. That and there was this thing cslled D-day were many good men lost their lives

[brandoneiger]

What a shame F.D.R. was such a hypocrite. Americans of Japanese ancestry interned in camps WITHOUT TRIAL or even charges against them. Americans whose skin was black deprived of their rights by red neck scum south of the Mason-Dixon line, yet F.D.R. not only did nothing to right these wrongs he actually caused them. A good president-only if you were white. For the rest of America F.D.R. was just another White House occupant-nothing more!!

So did the germans when it came to hitler...connection maybe?

[KFCVideos1]

My mother cried when FDR died. So did the nation as a whole. For the nation trusted him with all their heart and soul in Peace and in War.

This was not a president who would cut taxes as he sent our children off to war.
