my great grandfather was a sitdowner, my grandmother told us how the women and children marched right through the hired thugs, not one of them wanted to be the first one to hit a woman, they had bags of food for the strikers hidden in the middle of the mass of people , we owe this generation for many of the labor laws we take for granted today, they earned them for us

Back in nineteen hundred and twenty-five There were thousands of people struggling to survive. There was hunger, unemployment and poverty, Then in 1926 they decided to be free So they all went on strike and The workers told the unions, who blamed it on the government, The politicians blamed it on the strikers and the militants, Everybody's guilty and everybody's innocent, But the fact of it is nobody gives any more. RAY DAVIES (The KINKS)

The GOP also supported Japanese internment,I don't agree with everything FDR did but he was not a horrible president. Hover was much worse the depression started under Hoover's the And just the record it was Republicans in congress who vote for NDAA Obama just approved it (which he shouldn't have) Ron Paul claimed to be against the NDAA but did not show up for the vote

yeah we have illegals, race riots don't really apply to unions and defending the free world? just to stay on topic i'll point out that defending the free world has nothing to do with unions.

The only man that i know of can give BEFORE take is Jesus, but too bad American now is run by Jews.

yeah that was definitely a dark stain on his presidency. and he also gets more credit for the New Deal. that being said I wouldn't say he is a horrible president in fact scholars consistently rank him top three

FDR was a horrible president. He signed the Japanese internment camp order stripping Japanese Americans of their constitutional rights. He doesn't care about the constitution at all, just like Obama today.

[nicenonya3]

you mean Hoover's great depression!

[fluffynoses]

oh hell no. obama can't carry FDR or even LBJ's jock for that matter

[fluffynoses]

FDR was one of the best presidents we had...i mean sure the new deal didn't really get america out of the depression, but he was a true leader especially during the global crisis that was WW2

Americans like anyone else on earth enjoy their lifestyle ONLY after FIGHTING for it at HOME! So the idea that American armed forces are responsible for others' freedom and lifestyle serves as only a decoy to divert Americans' away from the injustices at HOME! Only the Iraqis and Afghanis can fight for their own freedom and lifestyle just like our ancestors did.
