When the world faced its greatest crisis, he refused to admit defeat. He refused to accept his handicap. He refused to reveal everything, his hidden diplomacy, his plans to take America to war. FDR became American’s shining light by keeping us in the dark. FDR, a presidency revealed, Sunday April 17th 9, 8 central on the History Channel. ( Audio Transcript. )
FDR and his polio, infidelities and lies about the Pearl Harbor attack?
JFK Shooting up speed to cover up Addison disease, and numberous infidelities?
Bill Clinton coving up his health records, rape charges, corruption, etc etc.
The only time I ever remember hearing my Father Curse was when he made reference to FDR as"That Socialist Son of a B----.
Machiavelli rules.
Yup, he is a solid-gold (no pun intended) DemoRAT.
Year 1942: Republican Senator steps before the press's microphones to ask, "What did FDR know, and when did he know it?"
Roll that old socialist down the wheelchair ramp to Hell.
You're right. I'm too late; the old leftie took that trip 60 years ago, I hope.
Suppose that happened.
Also, further suppose that
internal pressures
from decent Germans
put an end to Jewish deaths
(just as our Feds stopped
explicit attacks
on Native Americans
once our west-ward push
was over and done).
That kind of scenario
is a stable world,
industrialized,
with no "cold war" horrors, and
no Vietnams, and
global businessmen
who more or less share common
business practices.
I am NOT saying
Nazis were good guys! But IF
they could have been stripped
of their inhuman
elements internally,
would they still be bad?
You're either terminally foolish or terminally crazy.
WTF?! Did I accidentally enter a parallel universe?
The dude posts in haiku, what do you think?
Are you serious?
"Perhaps FDR should have allowed the Germans to triumph"
You have it dead wrong.
FDR ruined the world with his leftist ideology. He let the NY Times cover up World War 1.5 when Stalin killed 10 million and Duranty got a Pulitzer.And then he formally recognized Russia and started formal trade - lo and behold, his son Eliot recv'd a $500,000 commission for the sale of 50 fokkers by the nazis to the communists.
Had we stopped the communists in the 30's, there would have been no WWII.

"One of Roosevelt's early acts in foreign affairs was to recognize Soviet Russia. Three months later February 28, 1934 Elliott went into a deal with Anthony Fokker to sell the Soviet government 50 military planes for a price which would leave a commission of half a million dollars for Elliott and the same for Fokker, who told a Senate committee the price was excessive but that Elliott had enough influence with the ExportImport Bank and the Russian Purchasing Commission in this country to swing the deal at this price. Elliott was only 23 at the time.10 "
I am thinking that someone is using "home grown pharaceuticals." There is so much nuttiness in that post that I am at a loss as to where to begin.
My sentiments exactly.
My dad thought FDR walked on water and would really get angry when my Bro and I said otherwise. FDR was a pure socialist, a liar (by omission and otherwise) and the precursor for following RAT presidents who blemished the nation and helped create socialism in fact and not theory. The worst offenders were JFK, LBJ, Jimmah and the worst by far, WJC, the Felon.
You forgot the great Ponzi/hidden tax scheme called Social Security that still blights the economy.
And it's seeming more and more that when we see Bush, Clinton's there too. And we suely hear more of The Bent One.
