Last Kiss by John Lustig for February 20, 2023

Thank you John! And happy Presidents’ Day to you, too!

FDR? It’s a bust in more than one way.

Some would-be despots should quit Stalin and come in out of their reign.

Nicely done, sir!

Well done! Great quote.

When a nation is cruel the people are not free. Guard your freedom. MAKA.

As much as I generally admire Franklin Roosevelt, let us not forget that the man who said that “A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough,” was also the man who ordered the internment of most of the Japanese-Americans – men women and children – in the continental United States simply because they or their fathers and grandfathers originally came from a nation that the United States and Canada were at war with. And yes, I am aware that Canada, to its undying shame, did the same thing to our Japanese population.

and during his time in office, the press never showed him in his wheelchair…4 terms

Outstanding !

Yes. A thousand times Yes.

not a very fitting quote for the current administration! There IS no cause to celebrate President’s Day….this country HAS no President!!

Awww! This is great! ❤️

Great message! Thanks, John.

Right on!

Great!

And may every person who would have a “tough” despot as President take note of the words of the toughest President to have served since Lincoln.

“I don’t take responsibility at all” TFG

Sign I put up in my office: In a world where you can be anything, be kind.

hear, hear

Probably a nation that’s cruel isn’t tough — and that goes double for such a nation’s “leaders”.

good one, john… ☺

It galls me when some people still snipe at Roosevelt for his economic efforts. If he had not acted as he did, likely we would be now a fascist country ruled by oligarchs, just as Russia has become.

I’m reading a book, “1944”, dealing with the war and during the meeting with Stalin and Churchill at Tehran that quote personified Roosevelt’s sentiment (quite, QUITE, different from Stalin). Looking at today’s climate in eastern europe it appears that the more things change the more they stay the same.
