    Why does everyone have a love affair with FDR and JFK?

    In a word: _Leadership. They held office during difficult times, showed up, and helped. FDR is an absolute no-brainer. My God. What do you want?

    When I was a ute in the 60's FDR was still widely known as a socialist fuck up by real rock ribbed conservatives in Olympia and Aberdeen

    People rippin Reagan in this thread despite the economic and cultural miracle of the 80's. FDR needed 12 years and a world war to fix the economy

    My colors are what they are, with or w/o your imprimatur, and I'm not asking to join any clubs here.

    The difference between a card carrying paper hanger and an independent thinker is the ability to assess things dispassionately. The piece about Marx doesn't make me a Marxist, as should have been evident in my prose. It's just a discussion, and I was drafting behind Dick Posner, a conservative who is known to wander about on some issues.

    Reagan was a good president because he respected markets and private property. It was a bad move to invite the fundies into the tent. What happened in the end was just biology and I don't hold it against him. I like him, but I don't pray to him.

    I wouldn't want New Deal as a permanent fact of life in the U.S., but then again I didn't have to lead the country out of a depression. You were there; you know how bad it was. He thought he had to do something. And his qualitative leadership during the great war is unassailable. You can think what you want, but admiring FDR hardly makes anyone a liberal. Jesus.

    Wow

    I was waiting for your reply to point out that the massive Federal state we have now is most likely an UNINTENDED consequence of FDR's efforts to save the republic from actual socialists and communists

    I've defended FDR myself despite an onslaught of Mike Damone down votes

    What you missed, and maybe have a cup o joe, is that I was making fun of my own relatives on the 60's who called FDR a red.

    I didn't vote for Reagan even though I had two chances to do so and even though @Dennis_DeYoung down voted me for pointing out some positives.

    I'm in my club. Fuck the rest of you

    Right and in February of 1982 they peaked. And didn't get under double digits consistently until 1990. Which exactly showed me being correct.

    Thanks for playing.

    Race has always been right on this one- i.e., FDR and saving the Republic from radicals. The New Deal didn't end the depression; Hitler and Tojo made that possible. Military spending is the greatest Keynesian stimulus of them all. But his brilliance as a politician was making the common man feel like we were "doing something".

    Fun fact: some of that "doing something" - e.g., Bonneville and Grand Coulee Dams - enabled us? to win WWII years a head of schedule. Takes a shit ton of juice to make aluminum and plutonium and of the warring powers we? were the only ones who had an ample amount of spare cheap electricity.
