Thursdays with Theodore, episode 11/30/06
Welcome to this week's episode of "Thursdays with Theodore!" Now, to a great question:

What do you think of...Huey Long?
Jack, great question. The short and sweet answer is that he was simply a west-coast, liberal elite demagogue. For him, it was all about ego and hurting business. The man stole from the rich through taxation (hurting the free market, no doubt) to provide handouts to the lazy such as free textbooks for public schools. The man was full of San Francisco values.
While I'm not one to revel in anyone's death, luckily he wasn't around long enough to be President. Had he been President in WWII, he would have no doubt cut and run and allowed the enemy to fight us here rather than fight them there. Plus, he would have opened our borders to the enemy, forced women to have abortions, forced gay marriage and gay adoption, banned Christianity, forced evolution down our throats, and provided welfare to all lazy Americans. He could have been even more disastrous than FDR!
Jack X, thank you for your question. Dear readers, thank you for loving America!
