Why FDR Was the Best President We Ever Had

Here’s just some of the RINO Republican’s hero President’s accomplishments.

The Iran–Contra affair (Persian: ایران-کنترا‎, Spanish: caso Irán-Contra), also referred to as Irangate,[1] Contragate[citation needed] or the Iran–Contra scandal, was a political scandal in the United States that came to light in November 1986. During the Reagan administration, senior administration officials secretly facilitated the sale of arms to Iran, the subject of an arms embargo.[2] Some U.S. officials also hoped that the arms sales would secure the release of several hostages and allow U.S. intelligence agencies to fund the Nicaraguan Contras. Under the Boland Amendment, further funding of the Contras by the government had been prohibited by Congress. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran–Contra_affair

The Beirut Barracks Bombings (October 23, 1983, in Beirut, Lebanon) occurred during the Lebanese Civil War when two truck bombs struck separate buildings housing United States and French military forces—members of the Multinational Force (MNF) in Lebanon—killing 299 American and French servicemen. An obscure group calling itself 'Islamic Jihad' claimed responsibility for the bombings.[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Beirut_barracks_bombing

Reagan pulls American troops out of Lebanon even after swearing he wouldn’t RINO hero cuts and runs.

“In the 1980’s, the national debt more than tripled, from $829 billion to $2.9 trillion.” http://thenationaldebtcrisis.com/history-of-the-national-debt/

Reagan along with his White House Guest and social drinking buddy, (Democrat House Speaker Tippy O’Neal), wheeled and dealt for Reagan’s Military Industrial Complex spending build up in exchange for Tippy’s expanded spending on federal socialist programs. The end result being a near tripling of the National Debt.

Operation Urgent Fury was a 1983 United States-led invasion of Grenada, a Caribbean island nation with a population of about 91,000 located 100 miles (160 km) north of Venezuela, that resulted in a U.S. victory within a matter of weeks. Triggered by a bloody military coup which had ousted a four-year revolutionary government, the invasion resulted in a restoration of constitutional government. Media outside the U.S. covered the invasion in a negative outlook despite the OAS request for intervention (on the request of the U.S. government), Soviet and Cuban presence on the island and the presence of American medical students at the True Blue Medical Facility. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_of_Grenada

Reagan insults, defies and violates the Constitution with his Grenada invasion without a constitutional congressional declaration of war as mandated by the Constitution’s Article One Section Eight. ……….”The Congress shall have the power……….to declare war.”

WASHINGTON — As the national debate over immigration reform began last week, a GOP-leaning advocacy group circulated talking points for Republicans. Among them: Don't mention Ronald Reagan.
The unusual warning to party faithful reflects the hangover Reagan left over immigration reform in 1986 by granting amnesty to nearly 3 million illegal immigrants. http://www.tampabay.com/news/politi...r-ronald-reagan-haunts-current-debate/1273597

While today’s RINOs decry the Democrats promotion of “amnesty for illegals,” They ignore their hero’s historical amnesty for illegals.

Three cheers for ole Reagan the RINO’s champion and hero, RAH, RAH, RAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bikini graph Feb 2014 overall

bikini graph Feb 2014 private sectorSteve Benen:


Today’s announcement was a more pleasant reversal – job creation exceeded modest expectations.

The new report from Bureau of Labor Statistics shows the U.S. economy added 175,000 jobs in February, beating economists’ predictions. The unemployment rate inched higher to 6.7%, though as we’ve discussed many times, that’s not the metric to watch.

This time around, the unemployment rate ticked up because more people were out there looking for work, a healthy sign. Another nugget of good economic news: The public sector added an unusually high 13,000 jobs.

You may recall that the GOP have been doing all they can to eliminate public sector jobs (aka *gasp!* government jobs held by teachers, postal workers, firefighters, police officers, public transit workers, etc.). Why? Well, for one thing, a lot of those jobs are held by union members, and union members tend to vote for Democrats. For another thing, they want to minimize those jobs because, well... government. Duh.

But there's one thing they can't eliminate, no matter how hard they try: Facts.


[O]ver the last 12 months, the U.S. economy has added over 2.15 million jobs overall and 2.19 million in the private sector. What’s more, February was the 48th consecutive month in which we’ve seen private-sector job growth.

And we all know what that means, right?

LMAO; you're really too stupid for prime time. You're another prime example of the low information voter who voted for the most inexperienced, inept, partisan, divisive and arrogant President in our history.

The cart that I posted showed two years: one at almost 11%. Not since the drepression did the rate go that high.

again... no... we have shown you the bls data. There was not one single year that averaged over 10%. If you look at rolling twelve months, then it may be one year. It most certainly is not two.

Above is the link again. Just adjust the years to 1980-1989 and it will show you that you are wrong.

I adjusted the range from 1978 to 1990 and it clearly shows that I am right. So I don't know what you're looking at.
