from the Madison Square Garden Speech by FDR 1936. How brave, how true, a truth now that is never spoken out of fear. Perhaps the most memorable line of the speech came when Roosevelt described forces which he labeled the old enemies of peace: business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering. He went on to claim that these forces were united against his candidacy; that They are unanimous in their hate for me — and I welcome their hatred.
