Righties Only: FDR v. Saddam Hussein

[I’m not Stu]

Easily FDR. Saddam murdered thousands of Iraqis. Saddam and his cousin "Chemical Ali" were responsible for the al-Anfal Campaign and 1988 Halabja poison gas attack. Saddam Hussein also had secret "acid baths" and "rape rooms". He also personally shot dead a Minister of Health. He also put people into a wood chipper feet first. FDR got Social Security passed, which is an important government program that helps people during retirement and is a crucial part of the nation's important social safety net. FDR also abolished the gold standard because it couldn't keep up with the economy. Today, the gold standard would be impractical.

A better comparison for the right would be Allende or Pinochet.

That is a better one. I prefer Allende. Although Allende was a major homophobe, Pinochet was a brutal authoritarian.

[I’m not Stu]

A better comparison for conservatives would be Fidel Castro and Saddam Hussein. I would still easily pick Castro.

[I’m not Stu]

FDR was one of, if not our greatest President. But I guess I'm not a "rightie" per se.

Although you are right of center.
