1003: The Man I’m Not Supposed to Like // Spiritual Lessons from Black & White America 09 (Eric Ludy)
This is the ninth installment in Eric's epic summer series covering the contentious and war-torn season of American history from 1914 to 1974. Due to Monday’s technical glitch and lost recording, this episode supplies a quick review of what has now become “the missing episode in the series" and then builds on this drama of the 1929 stock market crash by investigating the 1932 election between Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt. Roosevelt’s resounding victory in 1932 still, to this day, causes Conservatives to wince with pain. And, honestly, it did effectively alter our country and proved the undeniable origin of Big Government here in the United States. But, hidden in the folds of this "political nightmare for conservatism," is a very unique and special man that is hard not to like.
