May Day would be the appropriate day to honor FDR. The man was a socialist. He began the socialst movement in the US that led irrevocably to the generational dependence on government handouts that we see, and have seen destroy so many lives since it began.
The priciples of individual liberty and limited government began their fall with FDR. He created cracks in those foundational pillars of that simply could not be repaired. He was the epitome of big government and the spring from which the mindset still exists today.
In short, the man was a socialist/communist and this country will never be more than a faint ghost of what it could have been but for the destructive effect of his socialist policies. The welfare state that he created has eroded all but the last lingering shreds of the rugged individualism that this country was founded on and as a nation, we will always be less than we could have been because of it.
