Let Freedom Ring! 
And, no -- it hasn't been the right that's "been running the show for decades now". It's been the philosophies and the directives of the left, with occasional tepid forays into conservative thinking timidly tried here and there. The Clintons weren't exactly a couple of right-wing fanatics. And the Republicans, even when they were technically in charge, haven't been all that.....uh....."Republican" in their behavior. Which goes back to my earlier statements about political cowardice.
But then again: I'd better go check in with my Regional Director prior to posting anything else in here. The High Council of Thirteen needs to approve my statements first. It's dangerous to go against them, you know. :ohmy:
BTW - FDR did nothing to get us out of the Depression. In fact, his policies likely prolonged it and made it worse than it otherwise would have been. WWII got us out. But that's another debate for another time, and I don't have the personal time to deal with it at the moment.
