The United Nations was finally ratified in 1945 due mostly to the work of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. I know this from recently watching the 14 hour PBS documentary by Ken Burns, THE ROOSEVELTS. Did even one Republican watch the show? Has even one Republican ever watched PBS for that matter? After all, they can watch intellectual giants like Sean Hannity instead.
From Republican Theodore Roosevelt who took a big stick to big business monopolies, trusts, banks to big to fail and his fight for the environment. To Franklin Roosevelt who did so much for so many for so long bringing us out of the worst depression in human history and winning the greatest war ever fought. To Eleanor Roosevelt who gave her life to woman’s rights, civil rights and an advocate for the poor.
Ever since, and even during, the Republican Party’s top priority has been to UNDUE it all, every facet of the NEW DEAL they are intent on destroying by hook or crook – Gerrymandering and Citizen’s United. It’s who and what they are which isn’t going to change anytime soon. They have no NEW deal, no FAIR deal, no HELP deal, no deal of CONCERN, all they have is the pre Civil War OLD DEAL. And of late it seems to be catching up with them.
Where will the GOP be in February 2017?
