Godwin's law is part of the natural law. You can't repeal natural law.

Yep. Just like you can't repeal your love for Hitler.

The trail of tears was voluntary. The indians were offered to move or become citizens.

That's not voluntary.

Obviously Jackson was the last person on earth you wanted for an enemy because he played to win and he played for keeps. Just ask the English, the Central Bankers, or any of the people that dueled with him.

Sickening.

I don't think it's really because they support everything FDR did, it's because government schools indoctrination camps don't teach any actual history these days. FDR, to them, was the guy who won WW2 and fixed the great depression. That's all they know.

True. They are usually far more so.

At least Lincoln's actions led to a lot of good, his actions led to 4 million prisoners gaining their liberty.

Just how did FDR not raise the wages of workers by hiring them away from the robber barons to work in Federal programs? Why did these former robber barons take FDR to court trying to stop his political methods? Why was it okay for the government to allocate the wealth that created the robber barons and then not okay for it to use wealth to help the poor workers?
I ask these question when it would be better for me to just let them eat their cake. In other words, I already have the greatest tyrant to ever live on my side in the person of Saul / of the chosen vessel Apostle Paul. According to his take on the situation, when people have a choice between becoming masters or remaining slaves, they are far better off choosing to remain the latter.
That should be a strong warning for anyone partaking in the over heated business of tyranny.

Looks like we have a resident socialist/communist.

First of all, the so-called "robber barons" made your life possible. Yeah, they did some bad shit - they also did a lot of good. Without those guys, there would be no internet, for example - and you'd have probably died of diphtheria or some other horrid disease in your childhood. Forming institutions such as the Fed were acts of evil, I agree, but credit where due on all fronts.

Far more people benefitted from the activities in question than suffered from them. That aside, all things have their associated costs, including "progress". Had the bucolic life been actually better than that found in the cities, the industrial revolution would have fizzled. It boomed because people WANTED to participate. They wanted to because conditions in the cities, poor as they may be by OUR standards, was still better than those back on the farm. People are often pretty dumb, but not quite so much as one would be lead to infer by your assertions. There was nobody marching workers into factories at the ends of guns. They came of their own will. Conditions often sucked, but that was the nature of business in those times. You cannot judge them by current standards quite to the degree your words imply.

FDR's interferences with the market dragged the depression on for 13 years. Had he kept his mitts off, the crash would have been felt for maybe 6 months and we would have been recovered. The previous market crash... what was it.... 1920... don't recall offhand at the moment... Harding was urged almost to the point of violence to interfere. He steadfastly refuses, earning him the wrath of the money trust, but that crash, every bit as bad as that of '29, was fully recovered from in a few months. FDR was the penultimate American fascist.

You are actually the one Brainwashed. The only solution we have to stop the hyperinflationary policies is to restore Glass-Steagall. A law in which he signed, and to restore a fixed exchange rate system, through treaty agreement, to end this imploding floating exchange rate that undermines soveriegnty of nations. We have to absorb the Bankrupt Federal Reserve System into a National Bank, seperating commercial and investment banking.

Truth. Jefferson Davis was a pawn to England.

You think we are free today?

No, I have a master who beats me. He makes me work all day and doesn't pay me a dime. He feeds me if he feels like it. He never taught me to read or write. I'm not allowed to vote or run for public office. I can't get married without permission. My children were sold off at aution. So was my brother and sister.

But I am allowed to practice my own religion.

you are never free, not even under pure anarchy. There will always be a group with some power or control over most within their own country, state, and/or communities.
