About 75 years ago, Franklin Delano Roosevelt promised the American people a New Deal. He took advantage of the nation’s disgust for the Hoover administration and its handling of the Great Depression to bring about the most radical reform this nation has ever seen. The landslide which took place in the 1932 election was an authorization from the American people for Roosevelt to do whatever needed to be done to rescue our country from the Depression. President Barack Obama enters office under many of the same conditions: an unpopular president, a failing economy and a mandate for change.
Barack Obama will have the ability to get all of his legislation passed without any reasonable resistance from Congress, the same way Roosevelt was able to do whatever he wanted during his first hundred days. Obama can be as radical or as moderate as he chooses.
The Obama administration seems as if it will continue Bush’s policy of bailing out our nation’s major corporations. However, the amount of money given to the corporations and the number of corporations being bailed out will greatly increase. We also know that Obama plans to immediately implement an economic stimulus plan. During the next four years, Obama will be sending plenty of stimulus checks to American households.
Moreover, if the time was ever ripe for our country to finally give into socialized medicine, it is now. Just as Medicare and Medicaid were an expansion of Social Security, so will Medicare and Medicaid be expanded into a universal health care system, where all Americans can be confident that the government which destroyed our currency and funded the Taliban during the Carter and Reagan administrations can now monitor brain surgeries.
What’s worse is that Obama is poised to stick a dagger in the heart of the pro-life movement. With legislation such as the Freedom of Choice Act, abortion will have the stamp of approval by the federal government. Abortion will be made as accessible as humanly possible, demonstrated by the fact that Obama has shown support for infanticide.
President Obama is more than capable of being the most radical president ever. He will expand socialism so far that voters in Venezuela will think Chavez is ripping them off. More importantly, his unequivocal support for abortion will destroy any hope which pro-life conservatives have of restoring our nation’s respect for human life.

it’s amazing that you were able to write an article about Obama’s radical agenda that begins with a comparison of Obama’s stimulus agenda to that of FDR’s and somehow you end up randomly tying in abortion – one of the GOP’s go-to issues when they don’t have a good point to make about something else.

The article makes perfect sense to me, if you don’t understand the connection between FDR and Obama, well then clearly you are not knowledgable in politics. Also,abortion is an important issue because as Obama has shown in his first few weeks in office, he enjoys long walks on the beach, classical music, dictating socalism, and killing babies.

First of all, the writer is not even a republican. Second, I agree that he did a great job of comparing the FDR administration to the now President Obama’s administration. Also, I’d love to know what you intend to do with your life, since anyone short of a garbage man will only be harmed by Obama’s stimulus plan. If you love socialism so much I’ve got a couple countries you could check out – China and Russia for instance.
If you think abortion is a pointless issue, please note the fact that your beloved Democratic politicians espouse such dead-end policies as spending thousands of dollars on global warming, which hasn’t been proved as anything other a natural cycle, and the phasing out of the War on Terror. Oh, that makes sense, lets try to placate terrorists who brutally murder their own people and want nothing less than the total annihilation of America – I’m pretty sure that’s the nation you and I live in.
Lets talk about medicare now. Implementing socialized medicine in America is part of Obama’s big plan. Ok, so what?! Well, tell me this, why the heck are people from all around the world (Canadians for instance) rushing madly to America to get important health problems addressed – its because America is one of the few nations where you can go into a clinic without worrying that you will be euthanized because of a serious illness or put at the back of the line because somebody else is deemed more worthy of medical attention.

Hey, let’s put politics aside for a moment. Michael, what’s going on with your movie? What’s up with that?
