>>My mom thought FDR was so wonderful). Treachery, force, lies, all in the name of "getting out of the depression" but honestly to take away people's individual rights.<< It has always kind of amazed me how easily the freedoms were lost with no resistance. The 3rd election of the socialist FDR was even far more baffling to me than slick's 2nd. The generations of gov't schooled people today have no clue what happened. JM

I have a copy of The People's Pottage by Garet Garrett kicking around the house, as well as some other titles by him. Garrett, the historian Charles Beard, the journalist John Flynn and several others exemplified the "Old Right" (pre-WWII right) thinking in this country. At that time the majority of American people agreed with them. Quote from Garet Garrett: Between government in the republican meaning, that is, Constitutional, representative, limited government, on the one hand, and Empire on the other hand, there is mortal enmity. Either one must forbid the other or one will destroy the other. That we know. Yet never has the choice been put to the vote of the people. Garet Garrett Rise of Empire, 1952

>>to take away the people's individual rights<< Of course, the people you refer to whose rights were taken away were the Japanese internees, yes? Who else had rights taken away? You mean the individual states, some of whom were busy passing Jim Crow laws, depriving people of the right to vote if they were of too dark a color, giving syphillis to farm workers as experiments, hounding to death people who expressed the wrong political views?????? Oh, do I wish I wuz back in de 1930's, when y'all had rights. I surely do.
