HELP PLZ!
Winston Churchill’s multi-volume history of World War II is excellent and has a lot about Roosevelt.
he was a rat bastage commie POS who took a recession and turned it into a 12 year great depression.
he also knew we were going to be attacked at pearl harbor...and did nothing.
He is probably zer0bama’s hero.
Here’s some stuff, eeevil

—here’s one—
There was a book written a year ago about FDR and his making the Depression worse. Go to the library and look for a book written around Jan last yr, the title was pretty obvious, the Real FDR or something. Knock your sox off.

Liberal Fascism by Jonah Goldberg has great stuff on FDR.
It’s nice to help children with homework, but if you include the material you mention, the teacher may question how much work the student actually did.
Have her write about the attempt to pack the USSC.
FDR criticized the USSC during on of his inaugural addresses.
“The Red Scare of 1919”

Remember, there was a powerful undercurrent after WWI in this country, including the adulation of the Soviets in some quarters. This included the general strike in Everett, WA, with the Wobblies. Years afterwards, people who still had relatives that knew where the bodies were buried, so to speak, really didn’t speak of it. Frances Farmer, a starlet of the 20s & 30s, went on some scholarship to the USSR, and paid the price for her involvement in all that by being committed by her mother—and by being one of the 1st people to ever have a lobotomy. There was a real power grab at that time that soured an entire generation of people on government per se, but they didn’t write the history books, now did they. In our house, it was the constant diatribes every night against FDR. Some people simply refused to speak his name.
But his press was great.
FDR was like Zero is today; gulliable and had such an inflated self-worth he thought he could iron things out with Stalin just by talking 1-on-1.
The information must be relevant to WWII. I am determined to teach not just my daughter and her fellow students, but even the teachers things about FDR that they don't know and won't find in our "cleaned up" progressive history teaches.
I am particularly interested in something I heard years ago about FDR writing letters with a high up Soviet years before we entered into war. If I recall correctly, he was a fan and admirer of this Soviet, but any searches I have done have come up dry...

VOYAGE OF THE ST. LOUIS
http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/article.php?ModuleId=10005267
On May 13, 1939, the German transatlantic liner St. Louis sailed from Hamburg, Germany, for Havana, Cuba. On the voyage were 938 passengers, one of whom was not a refugee. Almost all were Jews fleeing from the Third Reich. Most were German citizens, some were from Eastern Europe, and a few were officially “stateless.” ...........
Sailing so close to Florida that they could see the lights of Miami, some passengers on the St. Louis cabled President Franklin D. Roosevelt asking for refuge. Roosevelt never responded. The State Department and the White House had decided not to take extraordinary measures to permit the refugees to enter the United States. A State Department telegram sent to a passenger stated that the passengers must “await their turns on the waiting list and qualify for and obtain immigration visas before they may be admissible into the United States.” U.S. diplomats in Havana intervened once more with the Cuban government to admit the passengers on a “humanitarian” basis, but without success.
You obviously don't want your daughter to get an 'A'.
Double dittos on Amity Schlaes book and don’t forget to tell your daughter to make sure she emphasizes that Truman not FDR won WWII.
