A minor piece of historical linkage: LBJ first ran for Congress during the court-packing controversy. His main argument for election was voting for him would be a show of support for the FDR plan.

Promethea,

Liberal Fascism is a great read. In just a few hundred pages Goldberg covers a lot of territory and reveals the ‘progressives’ for what they are: fascists.

Good Lord, Neo – insidious propaganda doesn’t begin to describe that “chat!”

Thank you for posting it. I’m passing it on.

Great work Neo.

I was first exposed to the fdr lie in the military.

I can’t remember the guy but within a year I found talk radio in 1991.

It is lie after lie as Geoffrey Britain says because the ends justify the means…

Sorry that I didn’t use the preview function. What I really meant to say is that we must promote “limited government.”

I don’t personally need my federal, state, or local government to tell me how many calories should be in a Snickers bar.

OK, people. It’s time to move on. I was raised in the era of the so-called greatness of FDR, but that was a long time ago. FDR was a whimsical leader whose “ideas” were garbage. We know better now.

We now understand that free enterprise, fair laws, equal opportunities, and respect for the Constitution are what make our nation great. The olden days are gone. This is 2012, and we’ve all learned a lot since the mid-20th century.

Right now, we’re moving toward the same kind of gangster state that currently exists in Russia. It’s not about “communism and socialism;” it’s about fascism and a country run by criminals.

FDR’s economic policies led to a dead-end road. It’s time to “reset” and promote the free enterprise system that we now know works better than any statist utopia envisioned by FDR, Mussolini, Juan Peron, etc.

In this ranting post, let me once again put in a plug for Jonah Goldberg’s “Liberal Fascism” and Ann Coulter’s “Demonic.” Both these books have lots of info on the crazy ideas currently expounded by the Democrat party.

Lucky for us, most of the people who thought FDR was some kind of saint are dying out rapidly.

Curtis, Thanks for the Nick Dip/Milller link. Belly laughs for sure. “ROE – Don’t fire until you smell the humus on their breath.” So true. It is to weep.

Curtis said, “Let those efforts carry you to 101. Just to piss them off!”

If the “death panels” get scrapped, maybe I’ve got a chance at another 22. ;>}

“Ohh, by the way, if you do live another 22 years, we might be able to preserve your consciousness in a jar of some kind.” Yeah, neo’s archives will be the jar.
