We talk about Hitler and Tim McVeigh, too.
You must be so proud.

Look, it's like a college degree. Once you dumb it down, no one respects it anymore. *shrug*

You're in a bubble of intelligent friends then. That isn't how they're talking in NYC, SF and LA. The DNC has pretty much decided that a one party government is their goal. Centrists are a dying animal.

There was no Amendment to prevent FDR from serving more than two terms. You can't apply present day laws onto past events. So I have no issue with FDR serving more than two terms.

What has changed in the last 60 years to warrant a term limit?

Just curious as to what you think...not really for or against.

idk, i just see a man who worked hard and got ahead.
if it was easy, anyone could do it.
most don't.
so they sit back and criticize.
by all means, though, go on doing that...
no skin off my back...

things aren't as simple as people make them out to be.

if you propagate hate, don't be surprised if you end up hated.

You would have to read up on the history of the 22nd Amendment. Before that it was basically an unwritten rule, but more than two terms is too long for any one person to serve as president.
