The Czar was the Republican and the people were the Democrats. Was the Czar bad, yes, but was the Communist Party worse?

What we have is a bad situation here in the US in 2008. I agree, but is the medicine more dangerous than the illness? This IMO is the real issue before us. As long as Nancy and Harry are in office, I know the pill is poison.

A vote for Obama is not necessarily bad, but a vote for Obama with Harry and Nancy.... death will be a genuine possibility for our government.

Even under the best laid plans, it's going to be rough. We have a decision to make. We either allow the people to take control of their own lives or we hand it all over to the government to save us as long as it can afford to.

Since you're going back to the early 20th century to make a very thin point, it seems that you've placed your political well-being in the hands of the party that brought America the Great Depression. God Bless You.

I agree that the Great Depression was the result of wild and crazy spending by 20 somethings coming out of a terrible world war, but again, did history repeat itself? Was the New Deal a terrible poison that will destroy the US some 70 years after it used socialism to cure the illness?

The New Deal did not implement "socialism" in the United States. The New Deal did not result in the appropriation by the Federal government of all or even most of the means of economic production across the nation. So, by definition, the New Deal did not implement "socialism" in the United States.

Err... I beg your pardon.... What do you think "Social Security" is if not socialism? Err... I beg your pardon.... What do you think the TVA is if not socialism? Err... I beg your pardon.... What do you think the REA (Rural Electrification Act). Shall I go on?
