The last President that serves more then two terms was FDR and we know what that brought us. The new DEAL... Social Security (which is bankrupt) OBAMA often refers to FDR as some sort of HERO.

Well KING OBAMA would like to rain forever if he could, him and Queen Michelle on their way to establish a NEW WORLD ORDER!.

So keep your eyes peeled for attempts to repeal the 22 amendment that limits Presidential terms.

Franklin D Roosevelt ... was elected to 4 terms which is the most terms for which a president has been elected. Now a president can only serve 2 terms. He spent almost 13 years in office - from 1933-1945. He passed away in 1945 and his Vice President, Harry Truman, became president. He did not complete this fourth term.

FDR: Great President Or Socialist Disaster?


A new, monumental biography of Franklin D. Roosevelt has been released penned by Conrad Black that once again lionizes the WWII president. Naturally it ignores his failures and over emphasizes his achievements. So, it is time to remind everyone of the things that FDR did that damaged this country so badly that we are still dealing with the results today.

It should be remembered that FDR is far from the "Greatest American president". In fact it is difficult to claim him much of an American at all seeing as how he despised and worked to undermine nearly every institution that makes America America. Here are some of the facts:

Assault on capitalism

-The top tax rates were 91% on personal income and 95% on corporations1 this prolonged the Great Depression by decades and cynically confiscated the wealth of the working class and investment class alike.

- On April 7th, 1942, FDR declared that no one in America should be allowed to earn over $25,000 annually (equivalent to $260,000 in 2004 money).2 This was a typically socialist/communist inspired steal from the rich program. It also assured that the rich would not be able to invest in their businesses, save for the future, invest in the stock market or build homes much less spend on luxury items.

Social Security, just another vote pandering exercise

FDR admitted that the Social Security Act, which we are burdened with trying to "fix" now, was nothing but a vote pandering device. FDR said, "I guess you're right on the economics, but those taxes were never a problem of economics. They were politics all the way through." 3 This was a quote from FDR in reply to the fact that Social Security Payroll Taxes were a drag on the economy.

To illustrate the instability of this program the first person to get Social Security for the rest of her life was Ida fuller of Ludlow, Vermont. She garnered $20,000 in benefits but the amount she paid into the system before hand was $22 … TOTAL4.

Socialist "Work" Programs did NOT go to the poor

-The top 14 states that got WPA money were Western states NOT the states in the South that were poorest. Why? Because FDR needed western state votes and he already had the southern vote. 60% more New Deal money went to Western states than it did to Southerners. 5 So, the money of these New Deal Work programs never went to the Americans who needed it the most.

Blacks hardest hit

-FDR's FLSA bill (Fair Labor and Standards Act- June 14th, 1938) put more than 40,000 African Americans out of work upon its passing6. And most of FDR's other sweetheart deals for the various unions of the country similarly put blacks out of work because most of these unions worked exclusively to keep blacks out of their work force to support the white worker.

The New Deal prolonged the Great Depression by decades

I can sum up the effects of FDR's New Deal policies no better than Jim Powell ….

"Regardless of the role of domestic versus international factors in ringing on the Great Depression, the New Deal did plenty to prolong high unemployment. New Deal policies were dubious when considered from the standpoint of their effects. After Americans had suffered through a catastrophic contraction for three years (1929-1933), FDR supported policies like the National industrial Recovery Act that promoted further contraction. His executive orders helped enforce higher consumer prices when millions of Americans were unemployed and needed bargains. FDR approved the destruction of food when people were hungry. FDR signed into law higher taxes for everybody, so consumers had less money to spend, and employers had less money with which to hire people-during the worst depression in American history. New Deal labor laws empowered the most racist unions to exclude blacks and had the effect of making it illegal for many employers to hire blacks. The power of the Federal Reserve became centralized, but this meant that the mistakes of a few people (members of the federal Reserve Board) were likely to harm millions across the United States; and indeed the Fed's mistakes were a major cause of the depression of 1938 as well as the monetary contraction of 1929-1933. After having throttled competition with the National Industrial Recovery Act, Agricultural Adjustment Act, Bituminous Coal Conservation Act, Robinson-Patman Act, Retail Price Maintenance Act, Federal Communications Act, Civil Aeronautics Act, high corporate taxes, and other measures, new Dealers posed as defenders of competition and filed a record number of antitrust lawsuits against private employers, one effect of which was to further discourage investment needed for growth and jobs." 7

And I am not even bringing up his fore knowledge of the attack on Pearl Harbor, his deportation and imprisonment of thousands of ethnic Americans and his mishandling of the Soviet issue. Suffice to say, his best achievement seems to be his ability to get people to continue voting for him despite his constant failures on the economy, the law, the war and his ignorance of the Constitution of the United States.

For an American president FDR made a great member of the Kremlin.

FDR: War Monger and Economic Idiot
Most Americans believe in the Roosevelt myths: that he ended the Great Depression, and that he saved the world from Nazism.
by Steven McDuffie(libertarian)Wednesday, April 22, 2009
Disclaimer I didn't realize this was going to be one of my most popular articles. I apologize to my readers for the brevity and sloppiness of it. I am leaving the country for a few weeks. When I come back, I will rewrite this article, and bring it up to the standards of my others.
If public schools taught the unbiased facts about Franklin D. Roosevelt, Americans would know that the New Deal was an abysmal failure. Roosevelt's economic advisors thought that the cause of the Depression was low prices. To solve this problem perceived problem, the New Dealers embarked on an aggressive plan to shift the supply curve leftward, resulting in higher prices, thus stimulating the economy.
To this end, and with Americans literally starving in the streets, the Braindead Trust burned thousands of mountains of potatoes; plowed under millions of acres of crops; slaughtered six million piglets; and prosecuted and fined tens of thousands of American small business owners for the crime of charging too little.
Not surprisingly, that destruction didn't lead to greater prosperity. Unemployment never went below 14% during Roosevelt's first two terms and the average over his entire reign of error was 17% causing Treasury Secretary Morgenthau to lament "We have never made good on our promises. I say after eight years of this administration, we have just as much unemployment as when we started, and an enormous debt to boot."
FDR devoted himself to Stalin more than five months before Pearl Harbor and his love for Stalin approached the level of insanity with Operation: Keelhaul, in which some two million Russian soldiers, who were either POWs in German prison camps who didn't want to return back to Russia or who wanted to return home to overthrow the Soviet regime, were arrested and turned over to Soviet officials.
Roosevelt's actions allowed the Soviets to enslave an additional five hundred million people under communism's cruel heal. He was not a great president: he was one of our worst.

War Relocation Authority Camps in Arizona, 1942-1946
On March 18, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order No. 9102, "Establishing the War Relocation Authority in the Executive Office of the President and Defining its Functions and Duties." This order created a civilian agency in the Office for Emergency Management to provide for the removal of persons or classes of people from designated areas as previously denoted under Executive Order No. 9066. The Authority embarked on a rapid trajectory of planning and building 10 relocation camps that would house more than 110,000 Japanese Americans who lived chiefly inside the boundaries of Military District 1 along the Pacific Coast. A map (135K) shows how the WRA dispersed the camps across the western United States.

This Exhibit features images from approximately forty photographs taken for the War Relocation Authority and vividly depicts life in Arizona's two camps.

Two of the larger camps that received the trainloads of evacuees were located in Arizona. One was the Colorado River Relocation Center (April 1942-March 1946), on Colorado Indian lands near Poston, 12 miles southwest of Parker in La Paz (formerly part of Yuma) County, that had a peak population of about 18,000. The other was constructed at Rivers, on leased Pima-Maricopa Indian lands in west central Pinal County, and was known as the Gila River Relocation Center (May 1942-February 1946) with a population of about 13,000. While extant, these sites became two of the larger centers of concentrated population in the state. Until it closed offices on June 30, 1946, the Authority carried the responsibility of housing, feeding, employing and otherwise providing services for citizens who had been hastily and summarily placed in an alien social and geographical environment by their federal government in a fevered time of world war.

The engineers typically designed the fenced camps in block arrangements wherein each block contained 14 barracks, 1 mess hall and 1 recreation hall on the outer edges, and ironing, laundry, and men's and women's lavatories on the interior. Households were assigned space in the spartan 100 by 20 foot family structures of wood and tar paper according to the number of people in their household. Other structures in the camp were designated for dry and cold warehouses, car and equipment repair and storage, administration, schools, canteens, library, religious services, hospitals, and post office. Cooperatives purchased and distributed merchandise; efficient work groups formed around the manufacture of camouflage nets and ship models used as training aids for naval personnel; vegetables and fruit were cultivated for camp and commercial consumption; and livestock was bred and raised. At one camp, a honeymoon cottage was set aside for the exclusive use of newlyweds; at another, 662 babies were born while 221 adults spent their last day on earth behind the wires.

These interned citizens represented a broad spectrum of the Japanese community in America at the time including Issei, the elders who arrived in the early 1900s, the Nisei, the second generation born in America, and the Kibei, also second generation born here but educated in Japan. The melange of individuals and administrators in the camps, coupled with the social, political and psychological dissonances of the relocation conditions, engendered numerous responses in their combined efforts to construct community from chaos. An anonymous poem circulated at the Poston camp, entitled That Damned Fence, illustrates the despair felt by the evacuees.
