Coulter: FDR Ignored Warnings That Hiss Was a Traitor

Much of this is documented in Richard Rhodes "Dark Sun".
Ann hasn't won a Puliser Prize, but then Richard doesn't look as good in a mini-skirt.

Roosevelt, with Hiss at his side whispering his "advice" in his ear, sold Eastern Europe into Soviet captivity.

The difference between one, such as FDR, who would consent to the enslavement of millions of people, and someone, such as Ronald Reagan, who would devote his live to the freeing of those millions is all but indescribable. How do words capture the sentiment?

We have 100 Million people in this country who would say FDR was the "greater" president. Sad!!!

Just finished chapter 9. Great book.

Again I recommend Chambers' autobiography, Witness.

I'm glad to see that someone elst thought "Dark Sun", by Richard Rhodes, was a tour-de-force. The story of the invention of the hydrogen bomb was interesting, but far more engrossing was the story of Soviet espionage targeted against the US nuclear efforts. Basically, the U.S. was almost clueless as to the extent of the Soviet effort.

I have another reason for reading the book - my last name is Rhodes - no relation. And I can assure you that my legs aren't anything close to Ann Coulter's either!

[ex-snook]

Does she shed any light on who led the McCarthy lynch mob that included Eisenhower? That would really take the book beyond Venona.

I don't know if it is in her book but Truman in his oral biography published 40 years ago, says that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt referred to Joseph Stalin as Uncle Joe. Truman implied that Roosevelt thought of Joe Stalin as if he were a blood relative.

Truman said Stalin often got Roosevelt drunk at meetings. Truman said Stalin always drank vodka. At the Yalta meeting Truman picked up Stalins glass and tasted it.... Truman said it was plain water.

There was much spin put on the close relationship between Churchill and Roosevelt, but by examining in the conflicts between Churchill and Stalin you will see how often Roosevelt came down on the side of Stalin... That is some confirmation of Roosevelt's underling status to Stalin.

Roosevelt used the media "Drew Pearson" to take down General Patton. Roosevelt would not tolerate any statements against Stalin and Communism. Patton certainly recognized the threat posed to us by the Soviet Union. But Truman also bought the spin of ("can't we all just get along") Dean Acheson. Truman called the case against Alger Hiss a read hearing. When Acheson was Secretary of State under Truman... many referred to Acheson as the RED DEAN. It was Acheson who told the world we did not care about Korea... That stupid statement lead to the Korean war and 50 thousand American deaths.

Nearly all of the Soviet Spies were recruited and placed in our government during the Roosevelt administration.

I think Roosevelt like many who are born to riches and power they did not earn, are very attracted to a system of enforced equality. They espouse a system in which they could not even exist. Jane Fonda is an example. Who believes her movie success is because of her dad Henry Fonda. The funny thing is such people do indeed embrace the Communist ideal, but never want to give up their own wealth, power, or fame.

FDR was a traitor of the highest order. He should have hung high.

Eleanor Roosevelt attended meetings of the "Young Communists League" according to an autobiography of Frances Perkins, FDR's Secretary of Labor. I have a signed copy.

[ApesForEvolution]

LOL! Where do you find those funny little guys?

What does SPOTREP mean?

[RaceBannon]

I just keep my eyes open, right click and save, post for a link to the ones I will use again sometime.

[RaceBannon]

yes, she names names, and Eisenhower was included in her arguements against the WASP culture that bred liberals up here in New England and such

"I'm glad to see that someone else thought "Dark Sun", by Richard Rhodes, was a tour-de-force."

In a related vein I strongly recommend "The New Dealer's War" by Thomas Fleming. This book lays out a withering critique of FDR's domestic and foreign policy which shows in scrupulously documented detail how the egalitarian fanaticism of FDR and his cadre impelled FDR's administration to callously and repeatedly deceive the American people. This book also demonstrates that FDR's "unconditional surrender" policy, hailed by liberal court historians, was a piece errant foolishness that extended the war by as much as 2 1/2 years and cost millions of lives.

Maybe Ann Coulter's celebiry can help to publicize other scholars who have previously exploded the Liberal FDR myth.

I am a retired Army officer (artillery, MI, and chaplain). I have the privilege of teaching several classes in Colorado Springs to high school, college, and adults on comparative worldviews (biblical vs secular). As I read the various threads, some impress me as good for illustrating different worldviews. So, using some Army terminology, I mark "incidents" as "SPOTREPS" (spot report) and "descriptions of the current world scene" as "SITREPs" (situation reports). INTREP (Intelliegence Report) provides information of an event involving those of the "opposition;" INTSUM (Intelligence Summary) provides more general information. When I get home, I download these SPOTREPs and SITREPs to a database for future use.

Does that help?

[Jean S]

Ah, thanks. I've seen it before but I couldn't figure it out.
