| Description | The royalists of the economic order have conceded that political freedom was the business of the government, but they have maintained that economic slavery was nobody's business. (FDR, Speech to the Democratic Convention, 1936).
Let us put a quick end to the invented right-wing caterwauling about Vice President Joe Biden's remarks regarding Romney-Ryan's plans to allow banks to again "chain" Americans by recalling one of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's most famous speeches best known for the phrase, "Rendezvous with Destiny".
(Today, of course, one cannot utter the word "rendezvous" in any political speech because the right-wing will then hoot and holler that the speaker is "French", you know, those people who helped us win the Revolutionary War. Mitt Romney, who avoided the Vietnam war draft by becoming a Mormon "missionary" in France, speaks fluent French, but he will never reveal it.)
FDR is lauded as the greatest president of the 20th century, by Republicans and Democrats alike. |
