After the big buildup the Repubs and some in the media gave him, I
thought his presentation was laughable. His one idea for revitalizing
the economy: cut taxes. In other words, the same old crap that has not
worked for the last eight years,.

It's worked over the previous 6 or so recessions in the preceding 90 years.

FDR tried to spend us out of the depression and he only succeeded in
lengthening the depression. The only thing that got us out of the
Depression was WWII.

So it actually required tax increases and large government spending.

I think Bertie (BAR) ingested the "revised" Republican talking points on
the depression. Roosevelt did a lot of remarkable things in the 30's to
help out of work, starving Americans.

The GOP is working hard to become irrelevant. Or more irrelevant.

For all of FDR's good intentions he accomplished absolutely nothing. FDR
spent a lot of money and didn't anything accomplished as far as stopping
the depression. The depression effectively started in 1930 and didn't
end until 1942. 10 years of FDR spending money like a like a drunken
sailor and the depression wouldn't go away. It wasn't until the
industrial might, private industry, of the US of A was unleashed that we
started to come out of the depression.

We already know that you enjoy living under the direction of others.

Well, he made the GOP the minority party for over 50 years. I guess
that's something.

You can award him the Emanuel/Shumer award posthumously of course.

If your party has to destroy the other party in order to impose your
will on the people then you need to take a hard look at your party's
ideology and principles.

This is what is so interesting about the whole talk radio phenomenon.
Why has conservative talk radio flourished across the USA? Why does
conservative talk radio pull in the ratings and in return the
advertising dollars? Why did Rush Limbaugh just get a $400 million
contract for 8 years with a $100 million dollar signing bonus? Obviously
the advertisers are there, the ratings are there and the listeners are
there.

Yet when we flip the coin over and take a look at liberal/progressive
radio we find that nobody wants to tune in and hear what Al Franken or
Randy Rhodes has to say. There are no listeners, there are no ratings
and therefore there are no advertisers.

When you pull in NPR which to any objective listener is left of center,
left, and far left and it is supported by US government dollars. Would
NPR still be broadcasting if they had survive without government footing
the bill?

Part of it is that the liberals see that the people are generally bad
and need to be told how to live while the conservatives see people as
generally good and want them to live their lives to the fullest without
government intervention.

I still can't unravel the idiocy of people who say they come from
Democrat families and therefore vote Democrat but, the rest of their
life is based on conservative values. Pulling the lever for a Democrat
because your grandfather voted for FDR is not the mark of an intelligent
person. Conversely, pulling the lever for a Republican just because your
grandfather voted for a Republican sometime in the past is just as stupid.

I would argue the Republican Party is destroying itself. It needs new
leadership, and new ideas. Deregulation has been a disaster, as the
current fiscal crisis shows. Republicans have lost touch with there
fiscal conservative roots for decades now. They are a party in
disarray. The American people have spoken, and it isn't with a
Republican voice. I believe in a strong two party system, but
"government is the problem" isn't cutting it, anymore.

If I'm not mistaken, government funding is somewhere between 2-6% of
NPR's funding. Corporations and charitable foundations, however, are
major donors. Considering how "leftist" you consider it, at least one
survey has PBS and NPR the "most trusted" news source.
