there were five objective greats: both Roosevelts,
Wilson, Johnson and Reagan. I would rank Reagan #2,
behind FDR. Normatively, I don't like much that FDR
did at all, but there is no disputing that he did it,
and changed the political landscape in fundamental,
enduring ways.

This last comment speaks volumes about the true character of Conservatives
in this country- They give FDR his due- or any other Commander-In-Chief for
that matter, Democrat or Republican- because of a sense of decency, honesty,
and fair play. I don't hear any of that coming from the Left. They are
conspicuous in their silence, and a few of them have the audacity to mock
and ridicule a man who dedicated his life to this country, and the world, at
the hour of his death.
