   I don’t think that’s the point of this cartoon. However, I’m still trying to find the point of this cartoon.

   It appears Tom is noting some folks want to regress to prior periods in history as opposed to progressing into the future. That regression is a contributor to our failure as a nation.

   I think he also reminding us that SCOTUS appointed shrubster to the White House.

   The republicans didn’t seem to mind having activist judges on that decision.

   FDR tried to save capitalism by restraining its excesses and harnessing its successes for the benefit of all. Now that home-grown fascism and communism are forgotten threats, the need to harness and restrain are being forgotten.

   opposite of “Back to the Future”?
   What the Republicans want to do…“Ahead to the Past”!
   Sometime around 1545, I figure…

   All Al Gore had to do was win Tennessee, a State he should have won by a landslide as he served as 4th District Congressman and Senator. Here is Proof

   2000 Final Electoral Vote

   Bush 271 – 11 = 260
   Gore 266 + 11 = 277

   Tennessee has 11 Electoral Votes

   Gore also skipped campaigning in AZ and WV, had he campaigned in both of these States he might have carried one of them and he would have been President
   was in Eastern Time Zone and they were too stupid to look at Time Zone Map, had they done this, at 19:01 EST, they could have called Florida too close to call and prevented the events that occurred. It’s the Stupid Media’s fault the 2000 Election went to SCOTUS

    The “Gilded Age” is what Tom was referencing. Pure capitalism run amock. None of those socialist tools for redistributing wealth such as income tax, Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare. The Gilded Age was only gilded for the few, the Carnagies, Vanderbilts,Hearsts, etc. Vertical and horizontal monopolies. Not much of this is taught in US history text books anymore, unfortunately. How did it end. With the Depression. Thank God for FDR. We need another like him.

    the New Deal came after 1930. FDR wasn’t inaugurated until January 1933.

    Yes, hopefully President Obama, in his second term, will finally abandon the idea of finding middle ground with a group of people that don’t even have a middle ground, or any sense of compromise, and just go ahead and do what FDR did: turn the government back into a force that creates a balanced and just society in which everyone has a chance to thrive, and “damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead”. It could happen.

    FDR was inaugurated on March 4, 1933. This was before the 20th Amendment. (AKA the "Lame Duck Amendment.)
