FDR also admired the brand of socialism of Adolf Hitler.
‘Ich bin ein Berliner’ - Which translates to: “I am a jelly roll”.
Well his “ask not what your country can do for you” speech suddenly has new meaning. Hitler’s speeches were all about Altruism and sacrificing for the good of the state.
So did Daddy Joe. That’s why Roosevelt called him home from London.
It seems that the only admirable character in that article was “Dunker-The-Dog”.
(sigh)
Roosevelt modeled the “New Deal” and the U.S version of the Wefare State on the fascist versions of the times so it doesn’t surprise me that a liberal New Deal politician of the times admired Hitler. it just points out the incredible irony and twisting of history that goes on when the media and Dems claim that Nazis were “conservative.”
Maybe that explains why he fought against the Japanese? Just kidding. Virtually all Progressives loved the Nazi regime and also that of Mussolini. It is an undeniable fact and is still part of artistic engravings on major buildings in New York City.
Remember, JFK was born in 1917, so he was still in his callow yout' period any time he traveled in pre-1939 Deutschland.
Some things never change. Our President today loves Hitler also. Would have loved him at 20 just like JFK did. JfK was not learning about America at a young age either.
Lots of famous Americans were fascinated with Hilter before 9-1-39. JFK always had hardons for blond German/Austrian women, and J. Edgar Hoover had files to prove that he was too close to NAZI HONEY POTS; which is one of the reasons he was transferred to the Pacific Theatre.
Does this conjecture about Hitler have any supporting facts or is it another hot air inflammatory charge? I have not had enough coffee to read beyond the excerpt.
No surprise. His dad, Big Joe, was certainly an admirer of Hitler.
American Progressives are the godparents of European fascism. Fascism and Progressivism were not about redistribution, they were about a govt knowing what’s best for the people and working with willing business and financial interests to create a society where the elites “take care” of the people by programs, regulations and laws. the New Deal and before that Wilson’s programs were both American versions of fascism,sans the overt violent enforcement. Mussolini, not Hitler, is the true face of Fascism. and prior to his Ethiopian adventure, Mussolini was much admired by Progressives.
Jack-in-the-Sack also admired this German Spy.
In fact, JFK's inability to control Little Jack with this babe got him transferred out of Naval Intelligence (in Washington), then out of big boats (in South Carolina), and ultimately into his PT destiny.
More (somewhat sanitized) details of the affair can be found here.
I thought he fought against the Japanese.
Not news, but basically JFK (like all Lefties) was a power-junkie, and all power-junkies admire successful power-junkies.
In another; 'What are the evils of fascism compared to communism?'
And on August 21, 1937 - two years before the war that would claim 50 million lives broke out - he wrote: 'The Germans really are too good - therefore people have ganged up on them to protect themselves.'
Yeah, it's all that 'goodness' .../s
Germans are going anti-semite again - and our most anti-Israel President is visiting "embarrassingly close" to the news about JFK being an early Hitler fan... and that's going to hurt Obama? Yep. Very painful. Wink, nod, wink, nod, wink, wink...
I know that his daddy did. Churchill kicked him from England for his pro NAZI views. Actually he told Rosevelt to recall him.
