#FDR Hwy earlier tonight…man one of these days we’re gonna get smacked with another real storm like Sandy and we’re gonna be screwed….because clearly we didn’t learn anything & still not prepared
@RichardJMurphy Early in #FDR's presidency, in the depths of the 1930s Depression, someone proposed that should his initiatives fail, he'd go down in history as the worst ever President of the United States.
Answer - 'No, if I fail, I'll be the last'.

If you want to understand why FDR was the greatest president we ever had thus far, listen to this podcast. He lifted us out of the Great Depression, rebuilt the US Navy, and won World War II, just for starters.
FDR was a person of deep convictions and strong morals, but also decisive action.
The kind of leader fascists simply can't produce. Try to be the next FDR. Ask yourself what he would do (or heck, Eleanor, for that matter).
A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
Among us today a concentration of private power without equal in history is growing. This concentration is seriously impairing the economic effectiveness of private enterprise as a way of providing employment for labor and capital and as a way of assuring a more equitable distribution of income and earnings among the people of the nation as a whole.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism — ownership of Government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power.

#Stalin gave people #healthcare. #Liberals have been promising to give us healthcare since #FDR & have failed to deliver on that promise for 9 decades.
And when you dare get mad at them about this & bring this up, there's always some excuse why it can't ever be done.
Why am I supposed to believe after nearly a century that #Democrats will EVER follow through on this promise?

The Zhi Zhu post (attached) is one of the most important messages of the past week. Franklin Roosevelt saw the Hitler threat long before the American public did. FDR needed to do the groundwork for American intervention, which, by the way, started long before the bombing of Pearl Harbor. US history is filled with major examples. Right now, according to public opinion polling, the American public is not with us on Gaza. We need Capitol Hill "leadership" to lead on this issue and many others and we positively are not getting it. It has been altogether too convenient to just slide along while Bernie Sanders says what needs to be said. Young or not so young, we need a new group of Democratic politicians who do not leave their spines at home.
