WIth all due respect, while I am not as big a fan of FDR as most of the Left is, I must protest the idea that he was the "worst president of the US ever." Yes, he had his gross flaws, and yes, he ultimately did start us down this road towards statism (or at least truly kicked it off), and yes, his naive trust of Stalin did prove disastrous.

But he also did much good, in particular for accepting the truth about Germany and Japan far before most of the country did, and for trying to take measures accordingly, and for leading with competence if not genius.

He deserves much condemnation, but let us not deny the man the praise he deserves. After all, we are not Liberals.

As for the Worst President of the US ever, I am still decided in regards to Carter, Obama (though to be perfectly fair, he still has more time to either rise up or sink down), and (on my more cynical days) Ike.

That be said, I agree with the rest.

I pity you, that projection complex you have, is one of the worst I've ever seen.

It's a wonder that you are capable to type a message and post it, with 1/2 a brain cell; dear.

"New PBS doc embraces Big Gov't, Criticizes Individual Freedom."

Wow, what a shocker. And here, all the time, I was under the impression that the PBS crowd were libertarians.

In 1920 the alcoholic beverage industry went underground taking a very large slice of formerly legal economic activity with it to the black market. This assault on 'Joe Sixpack' ensured his blind eye turned to gang activity and corruption in government was virtually assured. That corruption infested Wall Street in order to launder huge chunks of money doesn't require a PhD to grok.

The excesses of the twenties are entirely understandable under these circumstances (the later motion picture code can be understood as a sop to the moralists after Prohibition was repealed).

Dealing with the crash of '29 and the ensuing depression while this huge underground economy and it's corruption were operating was impossible (Capone freely operated soup kitchens). As FDR was the beneficiary of the return of this formerly hidden capital his misuse of the same could be his most damning epitaph.
