And Roosevelt, who managed to get all those regulations passed that ended the Depression, was hated, detested, and despised by the bankers and the Wall Street con-merchants who caused it and now could no longer mug the entire country.

They attacked Roosevelt by saying that he was a Communist, a Fascist, and a Socialist, and a traitor in general, and that he was part of the "International Jewish Conspiracy" to take over the United Stares, and insisted that his real name was "Rosenfelt." Then, later, they try to revise history by claiming that he ended the Depression by starting World War II.

What the hell!! I was a kid at the time, but I remember. The Depression was pretty well over by the time Pearl Harbor happened.

Birthers? The usual suspects and the usual foaming at the mouth.

P. S. By the way, there were some flakey folks who, when Kennedy (a Catholic) was elected, had a hissy-fit and tried to claim that he was going to have a trans-Atlantic tunnel dug between the Vatican and the White House! Yup. A real Catholic-hater told me that, with his bare face hanging out! Un-bloody-real!!
