Brian wrote: Dave Heil wrote in message ... Brian wrote: Dave Heil wrote in message ... Brian wrote: Dave Heil wrote in message ... You've never come up with a straight answer for an explanation about Frankline Roosevelt referring to himself as "President Roosevelt". Dave K8MN I took an excerpt from someone else's material. The part in the quotation marks is Franklin[e] Roosevelt's quote. You typically find quotes within quatation marks, or at least I do. Do you have trouble identifying quotation marks? Please let me help you. They look like this: "quoted material" Please notice that the quoted material really is within the quotation marks. The material is then referenced to a web site where I encouraged readers to click and read the entire article for themselves. Do you have trouble clicking on a hyperlink? Please let me help you. Using the mouse, navigate your cursor to the location of the hyperlink. When the cursor is over the hyperlink, left click once. It really is that simple, and I'm glad to have been of assistance. After this little episode of educating you yet another time, your self-imposed stupidity cannot be excused any longer. Please deal with it in a more constructive manner. Sorry, little electrolyte, you wrote "Franklin Roosevelt is to have said:". That was followed by more material copied from a web site by you. Just because you provide links to material does not obligate me to use them or even to feign interest in doing so. Now, let's take a look at what you cribbed and posted: Quote Concerning the "Bonus Army" of 1932, where veterans of The War to End All Wars (1917/1918) were due a bonus in 1945, but wanted payment early because they lost their homes in the Great Depression, Franklin Roosevelt is to have said: ------------ In the end, some money was paid to veterans but not without further difficulties. Within a year of the Bonus Army Incident, President Roosevelt imposed the Economy Act of 1933 which cut veterans disability allowances by 25%. In the effort to cut federal expenses, veterans were viewed as having inordinate special status over civilians. During the 1932 election campaign, he had publicly proclaimed: "No one [merely] because he wore a uniform must therefore be placed in a special class of beneficiaries over and above all other citizens. The fact of wearing a uniform does not mean that he can demand and receive from his government a benefit which no other citizen receives." end quote ======================= Now, what do you make of that colon hanging at the end of "Franklin Roosevelt is to have said:"? What does it indicate to you. You can't place blame on me because you can't get your act together. If what you posted wasn't what you meant to convey or if the words aren't yours (since you've ignored common English rules for quoting someone else), perhaps you'll want to look the material over next time. Dave K8MN Dave, you just revealed that you really did understand the post, and that your sel-imposed stupidity is just another act for us to be amused with. Congratulations. You'll recall that I asked if you thought Franklin Roosevelt called himself "President Roosevelt". That didn't indicate confusion on my part. It pointed out an inconsistency in your post. Now you've spent days attempting to defend your error. You've spent days dumb-assing your way through this and now you say you didn't know if FDR referred to himself as "President Roosevelt." Your logic is quite unique. You screw up and that is, in some way, supposed to reflect badly on me for noticing. Fact is, you didn't post what old Franklin is to have said. Dave, yes, it does reflect badly on you, but not for noticing. But for playing the idiot as if you didn't understand the intent of the post and asking stupid questions. Too bad for you. You just keep playing your idiot self. |

Is that pretty much your view? I'm starting to get the hang of the way you think. Dave K8MN |
