With the toppling of all the icons and statues of Saddam it is ironic that the right wing is determined to delete FDR from the dime and to replace with the Gipper as vengeance that CBS dared make an irreverent film about the Right’s icon. They are not even satisfied with the wide-spread renaming of countless structures in which Reagan had no part, but have an organization dedicated to have each state in the union to have a minimum of one state landmark named after him in addition to one in all the nation’s three thousand counties.
To counter this expunction the Democrats are introducing its own legislation to keep the FDR dime which supplanted Lady Liberty as a tribute to his death and more relevantly to honor his launching The March of Dimes in 1938.
I shudder to think what will be next when BW finishes his tenure.
