Yes my grandfather couldn't stand FDR.

My grandpa was a poor sharecropper in Missouri and despised FDR.

I was born to older parents too. They were depression era/ww2 generation .I'm in my early 50s. My Dad was 49 when I was born. My Mom was 38. My Dad was in the Army in WW2 loved Eisenhower as a general. He shook his hand once before the invasion when he inspected my Dads regiment before the Dday invasion. He ran the Army so my Dad thought he'd be a good president.

I love that you're in Michigan. I've adopted it as my new home for the duration and we're about to move the whole clan to a new homestead here in the southern lower mitten, 3 generations planning on 4 on the same property. I'm trying to stay optimistic, but we're preparing for other scenarios that we won't like as much. To put it mildly.

Spot on. We are about the same age.. I couldnt agree more.

Thanks MR. I, too, was raised by older parents. My dad was born in '21, my mom in '27, so they grew up during the Great Depression. My dad also flew a fighter plane in WW2, off the Yorktown, CV-10. He didn't much care for Roosevelt at all. I was born in '64, and feel blessed to have been raised by that generation. I learned a lot from the old timers as well. One of my dad's fellow pilots filmed things during the war, and made a film out of it called 'Return of the Fighting Lady'. It's here on youtube, posted by a guy named Laurence Futrell. It's about 59 minutes long, and my dad appears at the 22 minute mark. Check it out if you'd like to see what life as a Navy pilot in the Pacific was like. He mainly did strafing and bomber missions on the west coast of Japan near the end of the war.

Absolutely right, MR! My grandparents (born in 1882 and 1885) and my parents (born 1914 and 1919) all talked about how it really was. Mom grew up in Dover, England, and lived through WWII and rationing over there. All wars are bankers wars!

In Pennsylvania the CCC camps used a lot of local boys. They were worked hard,but better food then some would get at home. As a kid head many stories but the camps

Eisenhower was an honorable man. They say that JFK used to call him and ask for his advice from time to time, they had become good friends even though they were from different political parties. Great video, interesting topic. 👍

Very interesting. At least they didn't have to deal with traitors ruling the nation.😞

Yep. Many took umbrage with FDR. Outstayed his welcome as it were. Power corrupts. Truly. Wars definitely seem to get everything going for a while. Thanks MR.

I sure am glad I now have social security payments every month, and that back when my husband died, my then-7 year-old got social scuriety survivor's benefits through age 18.

I remember hearing my elders complain about him... the road to hell is paved (or disguised) with good intentions.... Thanks MR 👍

My grandfather was a WW1 vet and he hated FDR. Look into the UCC Act of 1933 and they created a trust with everyones birth certificate.

True everyone liked Ike. I have a decorative plate with him and his wife on it

Thank you for that information. I only know first hand stories of Kennedy and Nixon from Dad

Interesting video, Modern Refugee! Thanks!

Having a cup with you , thanks for sharing YAH bless brother !

True; Modern Refugee.

The powers that be are still making the calls today.

👍😀♥️ Great video, true…

Just like any president, FDR had positives and negatives. The CCC was a great program as is Social Security even though it has been abused

My parents liked FDR. I was born when Ike was president and I never heard them say anything super negative about him. Both did a lot of good for this country

I was just saying yesterday that I remember news reels about Ike and Him being president when I was a kid. I like Ike Buttons were still around then too. Kennedy was the first president I knew more about but I was in 3rd grade when he was assassinated by the CIA boy were we lied to by Johnson and so many others. Made Carter Look Good.

Thank you 🤙🏻🇺🇸

I can think of another couple of past presidents that wasn't worth a pinch of shit. One of them is in there now.

oddly, my dad who would be 85 right now loved FDR. I think he really drank the cool-aid about him winning the war, he was 4 when it ended so it was probably a big deal to him.

I am in my 70s. My Grandfather was a World War One vet and, even being a staunch Democrat thought FDR was a rich crook.

My "old timers" felt differently MR. They liked FDR and weren't all that fond of Eisenhower.

I like hearing about the old timers.

No delay on editing a comment though

Interesting perspective. This isn’t something that I’ve heard before. A lot of people in my area were Democratic Party loyalists back in the day strictly due to the coal mining and steel mill unions.

Old timers sure did like the Social Security Benefits though - I'm kind of glad it's still around.

Peak America was 2005

Starting today , 3 second delay on entering a comment , this is new , used to happen immediately

How’s the new Job ?

Had the war started just before FDRs 3rd term ??

He brought socialism to America

No doubt the CCC was communistic, big government stuff. However, they did construct some things that have stood the test of time in National parks, etc. Watching some of our YT preppers melt down over Trump convictions. Taking a break from the language.

No they didn’t like him and with good reason.

Sounds like Obama

My neighbor , wears a hat that says ? FDR saved your Ass , my research says otherwise , He’s a Diehard Democrat , I’m no republican fan , but you can’t teach this guy anything , stubborn dude
