Just recently finished reading "Witness" by Whittaker Chambers. It was 800 pages, and the library copy I ordered was published in 1952. FDR was told about Hiss and the other cadre of Communists working in the US government from the mid 1930s to the mid 1940s. He chose to do nothing, as Stalin was too important an ally in the fight against Hitler. Stalin used to be referred to as "Uncle Joe" during WW2 by us, how sick is that? The Venona Papers released in 1995 by the KGB confirmed the identity of the Soviet agents in DC in that time period, and vindicated both Chambers and McCarthy.

You left out the most important Soviet agent of all:

FDR himself.

Look at FDR's imposition of increasing amounts of socialism during the 30's, ever increasing levels of government control over the economy, etc. FDR chose to do nothing about the Communists he deliberately surrounded himself with, because he was one of them.

Sure, that's why everybody's Communist here now.

That's why all private enterprise was nationalized in the Thirties.

That's why millions of Americans died in our Gulag.

That's why the White House was painted red and the Statue of Liberty was replaced by a monument to Lenin.

C'mon. If FDR were actually and literally a Communist our history would have been very different from what it was and we'd be a very different country than we are now.
