I understand that many of you will never forgive FDR for introducing socialism. What I don't understand is the rogue meme about FDR and our entry into World War II. (I recall that Penske is bent out of shape that FDR said he wouldn't lead us into the war, and thinks that FDR's failure to immediately surrender to Germany on December 8, 1941 makes him a liar. Whatever.) The thought seems to be, Democrats think FDR is a great president, and FDR was president when we went to war, and W. was a president when we went to war, so therefore even Democrats should admit that W. is a great president. Anyone who got a good enough score on the LSAT to get into law school should be able to see what's wrong with this reasoning, which is probably why you guys keep hinting at it instead of just saying it outright.

Actually, I will never forgive him for failing to go as far as the Europeans.
