FDR – Granite Grok

Quick Thought – Republican “packing” or Democrat “packing” – which is worse?

With the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, the Democrats have threatened, like FDR did, to “pack the Court” by adding new Justices if Trump and the Republicans ram through a replacement for RBG as soon as possible.

Voting Democrat means voting to destroy our great country

by Op-Ed

This is in response to the letter recently printed in The Sun by Richard Davis. How someone can live to be 84 and be so misinformed about the issues is incredible to me. Seems that CNN and MSNBC have done their job. Mr. Davis mentions FDR, the president who did not so much end the Depression as prolong it in an attempt to have more people dependent on government.

Attacking Washington

by Percy Blakeney

FDR Stole Two-Thirds of Americans’ Savings

by Percy Blakeney

Remember when FDR stole two-thirds of Americans’ savings? No, of course you don’t. It happened 87 years ago. The last time that populism existed as a major force in the world was in the 1930s. What we’re experiencing today is similar to what happened in the 1930s in many ways.

Why Is the Black Constituency So Hard Core Democrat?

by Percy Blakeney

Academia and the media are involved in peddling a narrative. Black America has bought the narrative they are pushing lock, stock, and barrel. The narrative is: Once upon a time, a long, long time ago the GOP used to be the party of black America. The Democrat Party was the racist party.

The result each time is more government, more debt, less freedom

by Percy Blakeney

We have replayed this time and again… and time and again. First, the government causes a problem. Next. they declare the problem they are the cause of, a crisis. Then, the government raises taxes and usurps more of our freedom. The government then bills itself as the solution.

Man is not free unless govt is limited - Reagan

Notable Quote – Robert Higg

by Skip

The most important legacy of the New Deal, however, is a certain system of belief, the now-dominant ideology of the mixed economy, which holds that the government is an immensely useful means for achieving one’s private aspirations and that one’s resort to this reservoir of potentially appropriable benefits is perfectly legitimate. To take – indirectly … Read more

FDR, Collusion, and Impeachment

by Op-Ed

In 1940 Franklin D. Roosevelt sought an unprecedented third term as President. But while his first two elections were landslides, the political landscape had changed. Americans were inherently troubled by the notion of an entitled presidency and a measure of “Roosevelt fatigue” set in.

The Left’s War on Climate Escalates: Say Hello to the New Greener New Deal

by Steve MacDonald

Bernie and his socialist idiot-savant Alexandria Ocasio-Cortex are declaring war on your indifference to their narrative on global warming. It’s so bad they’ve decided to declare War!

AOC: Congress Amended the Constitution To Keep FDR from Getting Re-Elected

by Steve MacDonald

Boston University has failed Miserably

by Op-Ed

By Jim Johnson

Alexandria Ocasio-Ortiz (Graduated with a bachelor’s degree in economics and international relations from Boston University):

What we had was an existential threat in the context of a war. We had a direct existential threat with another nation, this time it was Nazi Germany, and the Axis, who explicitly made the United States as an enemy, as an enemy.

Me:

Wrong, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor President Roosevelt proclaimed:

“Yesterday, December seventh, 1941, a date which will live in infamy, the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan”. The U.S. declared war on Japan December 8, 1941. Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, Japan’s Axis partners declared war on the U.S December 11,1941.

IRS As Political Hammer, Not the First Time, Nor the Last, Unless…

by Scott Morales

Sometimes blogging is about creative commentary and piquing the other side while, hopefully, providing a different perspective. Other times, it’s just about spreading information.
