Ocasio-Cortez blasts Reagan, FDR over ‘racist’ policies

Um construction for the damn begin in 1931 by the Hoover Admin.....hence why the name was changed to the Hoover Damn

 

Your 15 blacks hired does not trump my 500,000 blacks hired. The CCC and WPA jobs existed in the entire country. The Boulder dam was a one location program. How many back people lived in NV at the time the damn was constructed (1936)?

 

Yet Hoover ignored the pleas for relief..He fed the Europeans during WWI but claimed it was bad to just give folks help in the US...

 

While I appreciate the lower prices & quick service offered by Amazon, I am less enthusiastic about how Amazon treats its business customers. (I'm speaking partly from personal experience here.) Amazon is following the yellow brick road toward becoming a gigantic monopoly, which I am NOT so comfortable with. Furthermore, Amazon may create 20,000 new jobs in whatever location it settles into, but it will also run many small, family & personal businesses out of business, so I'm not convinced AOC was wrong in her opposition.

 

He wasn’t president in WWI, and actually started most of what we call the new deal...but I am not a fan of the new deal...that’s another story.

During wW1 we had another dem president. They historical take us to war

 

I refuse to conduct business with Amazon.

All the reasons you pointed out and Amazon are thirefs.

For six months I noticed I was missing money from my banking account every month. It ends up Amazon was stealing my money !!!

I can deny it. I can also refute it.

Funny how dems need to lump their racist politicians like FDR in order to smear Reagan.

 

Heck I thought the dems this week were saying it's morally wrong to attack those that are dead like McCain? I guess that only applies to the republicans as usual.

 

I suppose that's why racist segregationist George Wallace won 6 democrat presidential primaries in 1972? Or Jimmy Carter carried 10 of 11 Southern states in 1976? Y'all are fact challenged. Most the South had Democrats in Congress, the Senate and governors seats well into the 80's, 90's and beyond in some states. CLICK THE LINK TO THIS POST BELOW. (SMALL ARROW)

 

I never said Hoover was president during WWI..

One American will be forever linked in history with Belgium's travail in that awful war. His name, of course, is Herbert Hoover. After the battle of the Marne, giant European armies bogged down in the trenches, and famine threatened beleaguered Belgium, a highly industrialized nation of 7 million dependent upon imports for three-quarters of her food. On one side the German army of occupation refused to take responsibility for victualing the civilian population. Let Belgium import food from abroad as she had done before the war, said the Germans. On the other side stood the tightening British naval blockade of Belgian ports. Let the Germans, as occupiers of Belgium, feed its people, said the British. Besides, they argued, how could one be sure that the Germans would not seize imported food for themselves?

As the tense days passed in the early autumn of 1914, food supplies dwindled ominously in Belgium. To the outside world went emissaries pleading for the Allies to permit food to filter through the naval noose. Finally, on October 22, after weeks of negotiations, Herbert Hoover established under diplomatic protection a neutral organization to procure and distribute food to the Belgian populace. Great Britain agreed to let the food pass unmolested through its blockade. Germany in turn promised not to requisition this food destined for helpless noncombatants.

Why Hoover? In the summer of 1914 Herbert Clark Hoover was a prosperous forty-year-old international mining engineer living in London—and dreaming of a career of public service in the United States. This orphaned son of an Iowa blacksmith had come far indeed from his humble beginnings in the American Middle West. Rising rapidly in his chosen profession, by 1914 he directed or in part controlled a worldwide array of mining enterprises that employed a hundred thousand men. "If a man has not made a fortune by 40 he is not worth much," Hoover had said, while still in his thirties. By August 1914 he had achieved his goal yet was not content. "Just making money isn't enough," he confessed to a friend. Instead, he wanted (as he put it) to "get into the big game somewhere." Fascinated by the power of the press to mold and direct public opinion, Hoover that summer was negotiating to purchase a newspaper in California. Events in Europe compelled him to abandon his quest. Had it not been for "the guns of August," he would have entered American public life—and might even be remembered today—as a newspaper magnate.

 

Wilson was President during WWI

 

Jimmy Carter was the first American President that was born in a hospital.

 

Cool, what does that have to do with the point?

 

She came in a flame. Recall the flame of Utah? She is destined to meet the same fate.

I was born in a hospital yet my youngest sister was born at my parents home.

 

True and then FDR smacked them silly by barring them from combat duty. They also were infected with VD and later learned it and got angry at FDR.
