Thank you FDR

[regent]

And that may be the very reason historians rate FDR as America's best president.

the best because they caused 16 years of depression and world war????

America's greatest historians probably see history differently than you. The topic is FDR so who is they? My own fault for responding to your post.

FDR introduced the concept of treating people like human beings....

Oh, is that what he was doing when he threw innocent, loyal Americans into concentration camps? You just broke the Stupid-O-Meter.

Tunnel vision; you are making a judgment based on a narrow view of how your ancestors were treated.
For the most part in that time period, immigrants were not quite welcomed by those who already lived in the US.
Japan attacks and the powers that be have no idea of what newly arrived Japanese were thinking.
Heck, I can be angry at FDR for dragging his ass as far as getting involved in the war.
Probably a few million more Jews could have been saved, but I have an overview of that time period...exhaustion from WWI, racism and anti-Semitism.

What the hell does any of this have to do with how Irish immigrants were treated?

There were wannabe Know-Nothing turds then just as there are now. There were millions of recent immigrants then just as there are now. There were real citizens who understood what America really is then just as there are now.

Wrong.

You mean they see FDR's 16 year Great Depression and World war as a good thing?

Perhaps then they will love Obama too since his economy has been the worst since FDR's.

Maybe even if Obama can turn this recession into a Depression they will love Obama as much as FDR??

You were there?
The old guard is always suspicious of new comers, regardless of national origin.
Italians and Irish faced enormous prejudice; that's why most cops were Italian and most firemen were Irish.
Everybody had to form their own ghetto.

Very few, but once again you are a victim of emotional tunnel vision.

You should know better. Edward has been making that 16 year depression idiocy forever. At least now he has it narrowed down to they instead of just FDR.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

that 16 year depression idiocy forever..

if its idiocy please say why or admit with your silence or attempts to change the subject that you lack the IQ to do it.

Stock market crash was in 1929. Hoover was President. FDR came into office in '33. Dust bowl and droughts began in '34 and wreaked havoc in agriculture throughout the west and mid west all the way up to 1940. WWII is accepted by academics and scholars as the end of the Great Depression.
Now give your idiotic facts to support your claim of a 16 year depression.

market crashed in 1929 and liberalism kept it going till 1945. Capitalism would have prevented it or ended it within one year. Wars don't end recession, moron. If they did we'd fight pretend wars and never have recessions!!

I think every cop in Chicago was Irish, I think there is a cop gene.

One of the stories that show the difference is perhaps the Bonus Army of WWI vets asking for their pension to be paid a little early. Hoover sent MacArthur down to rout the vets killing a couple, including a vet's baby and burning their camps down. When FDR took office, the Bonus Army tried again, this time FDR sent Eleanor down alone to talk to the vets. She had tea with the vets, they sang some old army songs together and she left.

Eleanor was the most active, most tender hearted, real human first ladies this country has ever had but ugly..........if you look up the word in a dictionary her picture is listed as the definition.

And her husband was the worst scumbag piece of shit to ever soil the office of President of the United States.
