Adam Cohen on FDR-2/2

Nothing to Fear: Adam Cohen on "FDR's Inner Circle and the Hundred Days that Created Modern America"

The current economic crisis has often been cited as the worst the country has seen since the Great Depression of the 1930s. When Franklin Delano Roosevelt took his oath of office in March 1933, over 10,000 banks had collapsed, following the stock market crash of 1929. One-quarter of American workers were unemployed, and people were fighting over scraps of food. We speak with Adam Cohen, author of Nothing to Fear: FDR’s Inner Circle and the Hundred Days that Created Modern America. [includes rush transcript]

I believe in PEOPLE. Someone in front of me, NOT above me. (except for the cops because THEY have guns). Religion is used as a tool/device to divide people. Some would argue that it brings "us" together. It doesn't. It puts people at a level where depending on your beliefs, They are superior because of their beliefs(you just need more violence instead of churches).

Stop using his name in an acronym=FDR! The name is Franklin d Roosevelt If you have to save TIME, then president Roosevelt would suffice RESPECTIVELY.

FDR(the acronym) bugs the SHIT out of me personally).\

If people do not listen to reason, you have to speak to them in a language they understand. It is RELIGION that poisons everything. It is religious reasons for America's support for Israel, it is religious reasons why Zionists feel they are entitled to the land between the Nile and Euphrates and it is religious reasons why muslims cannot get along with eachother and other nations. All sides are wrong, but if everyone thinks god is on their side, who wins?

So what then, innocent Americans need to die when those that have made the decisions are untouchable? If you take part and supprt it you most certainly can be blamed. Keep in mind that 99.999% of Americans do not know about what their gov't is up to. And no a large calamity such as your view will bring death to ALL. We are the only country in the world with both first and second strike capabilities so if terrorism gets to be too rampant believe me, America will hit the "reset button."

rationalskeptic7718, I do understand the motivation on all sides, but, as a Palestinian seeing my people being slaughtered for the past 70 years at the hands of ZioNAZI Jews in izrael and with full American support, I can NOT be blamed for wishing DEATH and DESTRUCTION for countries. Both entity need to be punished severely similar to what happened to Germany & Japan in WW2. The day we hear of the massive destruction of both terror entities, is the day earth will have its peace.

Israel recieves a great deal of support mostly because America is primarily x-ian. Their support for Israel is entirely selfish because they think that once the Zionists have their way and all of the territory from the Nile to the Euphrates belongs to the Jews and all the Jews are there the battle of Armageddon can happen and the Jesus can come back and kill everyone who is not a x-ian. The Jewish settlers who settle in Palestinian territory do so to bring back THEIR messiah..see a pattern?

Krumbz2003, Read my comment again & realize I mainly meant the gov. But I blame the people for voting Bush in again. Americans support NAZI izrael even though they see how evil it is. Which makes them responsible for anything that happens to them as a blow back. 1 MILLION dead Iraqis = 333 (9/11). So, even if over 300 (9/11s) would happen, they will be very understandable. Americans seem to only care when they are being killed, so maybe that's how they should be awaken from their sleep.

[Krumbz2003]

That's super ignorant.

American citizens do NOT equal the American government.

The American government is evil and corrupt and hopefully that will all change with Barack in the White House.

Conservatives and Republicans are running scared.

[Krumbz2003]

Bush and Cheney DO illegally detain people today...

Guantanamo Bay has 250 illegally detained prisoners.

There are 15,000 illegally detained prisoners in Iraq.

Bush and Cheney WILL be tried as war criminals... and finally be brought to justice... soon.

So was Jefferson, Darwin, Ben Franklin, Holmes, and a slew of other "Heros". Really sad, isn't it?
