I'll give you that. We'll see how it manifests itself. Will it make us smarter with all that new information? Arab spring.

Still, my dear old ma used to give me history lessons about the great depression and how FDR had his fireside chats and Eleanor roosevlet got right out there in the middle of the poor and fought for them like a woverine. She was a tour de force. Should would not be defeated. she was damn well going to get the poor fed.

When people are starving, you do something about it. You do not say: sorry it just wasn't possible because the Tea party wouldn't go along. You wade out into the misery.

Funny how easy it is to spend trillions on even stupid wars.

We either defeat these rigth wingnuts or they will defeat us. Corporations are running the world. Money is power. And they do not give a single thought to underpaid farm workers (us).

"If you keep talking about FDR and as Wharfy does about Nixon, then you folks are living in a old world"

Then how come Obama is studying Raygun, Nixon, and Lincoln, and trying to channel them?

"You need only take a look at your kids"
You know what? My kids ain't terribly different than I am in their thinking.

"Remember, FDR and Nixon could not carry a Blackberry"

Oh, like that's important? LMAO.
