Putting aside the rhetoric about FDR, it was indeed shameful that America did not welcome the oppressed and endangered Jews threatened by the dark Fascist menace, as it had in the past, and did in the future. It cannot be defended or justified. It was wrong, and a shameful episode in American history. I hate it when the shining city on the hill falls short of its ideals.
Agreed.

I'm having trouble figuring out what's motivating you on the other stuff.
Sharon said the obvious. I don't see your problem with that.
And for the record, FDR was a Socialist. Through and through. Took a deep recession and morphed it into a Great Depression. What a guy.
