Just a history lesson for you - FDR did not do anything to bring this country out of the Great Depression (not "recession"). The US recovery lagged most other developed countries and I have no idea where you got the notion that FDR had anything to do with turning this country into an industrial powerhouse. That is what we were before the Great Depression and that was what we were after. Men like Ford, Firestone, Rockefeller, Edison, Tesla, and many others working in the private sector ushered in the industrial boom in this country. Government had nothing to do with it except it interfered much less in the pre-FDR days than it does under the industrial no-nothing 0bama.

BTW, I do not fault FDR for trying to spend his way out of the Great Depression because it was an unprecedented event. Modern day liberals should have learned from his mistakes. To FDR's credit, at least he put people to work building the country's infrastructure. Nancy Pelosi recently argued that unemployment benefits stimulate the economy. Tax cuts stimulate the private economy. Welfare kills jobs.

Please take another look at spending under 0bama - the graph that shows )bama adding as much to the national debt in two years as Bush and the Democrats did in 8 full years. Have you seen this point made on any of the TV channels or newspapers that you read? Let that graph sink in and then tell me that you really believe that 0bama has not received a fair shake from the media.

As for ACORN, it was not a "company." It was supposedly a non-partisan, tax-exempt organization. In reality, it was a corrupt, highly partisan organization that should not have received the first dime of taxpayer funding. The national media, including the conservative media was not tough enough in its reporting on ACORN and it was too late to save millions of wasted dollars. Now, the same scammers that worked for ACORN have formed new non-profit organizations and are setting themselves up to loot more money from hard working taxpayers.

One final point. I am not a big Glenn Beck fan. Because I work for a living, I rarely watch or listen to him. I like Fox News Channel but I decided that I could live without cable here in DC, so I probably watch FNC less than you do. Please do not let that stop you from making more unfounded assumptions about where I get information about current events and national politics.

To take a excerpt from one of your previous posts "thats one way to look at things but its not the right way" hh: I am done with this discussion because its not going to go anywhere you are obviously to intertwined with your own beliefs to respect anyone elses. On the event of politics its very much opinon based, many will argue FDR did alot for this country in which I believe you are on the other side of the aisle. However, you wish to look at it I can at least respect that but NOT when your to much of a "convie" to respect someone of opposing views. Have a nice "DISCUSSION" remember Hoot Gibson for PRESIDENT the man with ALL the ANSWERS or rather convoluted ideas (which is what lost it for the Repubs any how). On an ending note Hoot please go read "Seeds of Change" by John Atlas it takes a look at ACORN from beginning to end and the effects on misinformation. It is a non-partisan book that takes a look at both sides. Then we can discuss that in PM if you wish to read it.
