Where is the greatest threat to your well being coming from?

Wondering if DUers see things differently than Fox news viewers.

Titanic:Blood and Steel

This is a 12 episode series, not about the voyage, but about the life and times of those people in Belfast, Ireland in that period leading to the commissioning of the Titanic. I finished 8 episodes, and we're still looking for more! Nicely done and the story is always varied due to problems with labor, religion and romance.

By todays standards, Eisenhower would have been a great Democrat!

I remember Ike, but I needed to be 21 to vote at that time, so missed out. But, looking back I can remember there were some big investigations pretty good tax rates, even for the millionaires, plenty of jobs for labor and strong fed building programs for the infrastructure. And I don't remember him wanting to change domestic programs like Soc. Sec.. (of course Medicare wasn't started yet.) Compare him to our modern Dems, and we can see how far adrift are the so-called left wing in this country.
