FDR Quote of the Day: Ignorance and Intolerance.
“We have faith that future generations will know that here in the middle of the twentieth century, there came a time when men of good will found a way to unite, and produce, and fight to destroy the forces of ignorance, and intolerance, and slavery, and war.“

FDR Quote of the Day
This photo was taken at the FDR memorial in DC. If you haven’t visited, you should.
I don’t think this quote needs any explanation.
“We must scrupulously guard the civil rights and civil liberties of all citizens, whatever their background. We must remember that any oppression, any injustice, any hatred, is a wedge designed to attack our civilization.”

Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial
Here are some more quotes from Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
“I see one-third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished.”
“The test of our progress in not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much. It is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.”
Let’s not forget, that FDR and his programs pulled the USA out of a depression and allowed us to grow into a great nation, one that is presently being attacked from within. It is the government’s duty to protect its citizens and help them in times of need.

FDR Quote for Today’s World
Have you been to the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial in DC?
FDR did some great things. He pulled our country out of a depression and started many of the programs being destroyed today. Here is one of his quotes:
No country, however rich, can afford the waste of its human resources. Demoralization caused by vast unemployment is our greatest extravagance. Morally, it is the greatest menace to our social order.
We need to:
Protect our Democracy
Protect our Children’s Future

January 6, 2021 Riot: Never Forget
On January 6, 2001, a mob descended on the capital at the behest of Donald Trump for the sole purpose of stopping the ratification of the next lawfully elected president of the United States of America, Joe Biden. The world watched in horror as people assaulted police, vandalized and entered the capital unlawfully, and threatened members of congress and vice president Pence.
Let us not forget that this wasn’t “a day of love” as Trump is now calling it, and those rioters weren’t patriots. In fact, this was not a random or spontaneous event at all. Many of the participants came prepared with pepper spray, zip ties, and combat gear. These are definitely not the acts of peaceful protesters. Let’s also not forget how many hours passed before Trump, after watching this unfold on live tv, consented to text his people, and tell them to go home.
This convicted felon will soon be sworn in as our 47th president. He’s promised to pardon all the rioters in the first few hours of his presidency and retaliate against anyone who has ever opposed him. His cabinet choices are all people who will do his bidding, some of whom aren’t qualified for their positions.
Wake up America. It’s up to us to remember the truth and keep our history from being rewritten and our constitution intact.
