Yeah, FDR’s domestic policies stunk to high heaven… but they were also very influential.

After all these years, we still haven’t been able to get rid of his pinko commie New Deal crap. The problems with Social Security alone will probably be enough to bankrupt the country at some point.

And sadly, all we have to turn to for help at the moment is the Stupid Party and the Stupider Party.

number 93 Ralph Nader? ok I’ll allow for some humor....

Yeah.  “Influential” is kinda like “notorious”; it could mean really bad, or really good.  Go figure.

Media uncovers more Palin stories in one weekend than Obama stories in two years. Still no bias detected

Obama: more experienced than Bristol Palin

OK, the commentary on each person is just plain stupid (or liberal, but is there really a difference).  For example:

MLK:

His dream of racial equality is still elusive, but no one did more to make it real.

Oh really?  Which states still has laws that treat people differently based on race?

Andrew Jackson:

The first great populist: he found America a republic and left it a democracy.

Uh, it’s still a republic.  It always has been and always will be until we completely rewrite the constitution.

FDR ranks up there as one of the most influential Americans. His “New Deal” was a move from self-sufficiency to government dependence. He fundamentally changed the mindset of future generations of Americans.

We’re dealing with “affirmative” action laws. Saying that MLK’s “dream of racial equality is still elusive” is right on the money.

I thought about that, but I doubt that is what the author had in mind when he wrote his comment.
