He won't be FDR or Washington but he could end up being a modern day Republican version of Abe Lincoln. So, you are willing to sacrifice or let go of the rule of law, equality, traditional Judeo/Christian values and accept lawlessness and mob rule to keep another not so good Democratic coalition together. So, does that seem about right to you? Yes, Churchill despite all he did to rally a nation that was badly losing a war and save Great Britain from inevitable defeat by the Axis powers and a divvy up or surrender of its empire and its monarchy or even worse by being invaded and conquered.(07-08-2020, 12:13 AM)Classic-Xer Wrote: If the liberals take over that's what they'll do, they'd either roll over or attempt to appease by turning a blind eye or reluctantly going along like they did with Hitler. Today, we have the benefit of hindsight. We can decide whether America needs Churchill (Trump) or Chamberlain (Bumbling Lovable Biden) right now. Right now, we have a bunch of liberal wimps and wimpy professional people pleasers in power and what you are seeing here is the result.
I would line up Trump with Hoover and Buchanan, stickers to the old values and making it clear how they fail in newer times. We won’t know for sure until we are into the high, but things are heading that way again.
People are disappointed in advance with Biden. If I gave Trump a year or so before I started giving him a hard time, I would do the same to Biden.
I know FDR was not viewed overly well in his early days. He was a lawyer and governor from New York who hadn’t impressed yet. He had yet to take his place next to Lincoln and Churchill. You have to solve your crisis before being given political sainthood. Even Churchill got the Order of the Boot.
