Wow did you know the New Deal made the Great Depression much worse?

[Wetzelbill]

This guy on youtube has been educating me on this. Amazing, I might have to rethink my opinion of FDR. Probably even my whole policy philosophy. I tell you what, say what you will about them but these RWers sure have an excellent and accurate knowledge of history. I am pretty much in awe right now.

:rofl:

9. try this

His name is something like RustyShackleford, which is funny because that's the fake name that conspiracy theorist Dale Gribble on "King Of The Hill" always uses, lol.

2. I don't thnk that my opinion of FDR could get much lower,

but the New Deal policies seemed to work.

3. It's gonna get worse ...

Today, it's some idiot on YouTube.

Tomorrow, it'll be floor speeches in Congress.

But, of course, knowledge of history is just worthless in the real world. Who needs to know all that junk anyway ... :eyes:

6. I'm sure ABC is working on a special called "Was the New Deal a Raw Deal for America?"

You heard it here first.

7. it's a common refrain of Buchanan's

and supremacist crank Thomas DiLorenzo (on a shallow note, DiLorenzo, Frank Luntz, and other young neocons all look like Patton Oswalt...)

10. They are terrified that a Newer Deal is needed to rebuild the middle class.

Since America has spoken in the last election, by handing the White House and Congress to the Democratic Party...

Why in the Hell are these Bat Shit Loony Imbecile Right Wingers allowed a microphone?

Sit down and STFU Right Wingers! You lost, because you only know how to destroy everything that makes America great.

11. Well, I have a few simple questions?

How come the market did not create jobs for all those millions that were working for the WPA and the CCC? Were they supposed to wait until WWII to get a job so they could survive? Ten years is a long time to go without eating.

12. your intellect and sense of history is futile

when armed with the rightness of saying something moronic over and over and over again until people begin repeating it without question.
