when pinko democrats screwed the pooch

This 1934 Chicago Tribune political cartoon Merrily laid on me is just precious.  I don't need to add much.  Eight years after FDR took office, the depression was as bad, or worse than when he arrived. But in the process Roosevelt, using a solid Democrat congressional majority, and a less than heroic Supreme Court, had irrevocably put the nation on the road to serfdom.  World War II ended the depression.  Henry Wallace, shown shoveling OPM into the street, was an ardent communist who would become Roosevelt's VP in 1936. At the end of World War II, as historian Allen Weinstein has revealed, Wallace even arranged a secret meeting with the NKVD's Washington station chief, offering him access to American scientists working on the atomic bomb.   By a stroke of luck, FDR dumped him in Favor of Truman in 1944, or we'd have had our first communist president 54 years before Obama. Ickes is the father of Hillary guru Harold Ickes, and all we need  say about that is --  acorn. Oh, This time around, the Chicago Tribune plays the roll of useful idiot.
