FDR passed away 76 years ago today

[Unkotare]

Wonder why the American people voted for FDR four times in a row and American Historians named FDR, America's best president?

Maybe the same reason why tyrants and dictators all over the world are reelected over and over and over? Don’t be stupid.

He plunged eastern Europe into 50 years of slavery under communism because he had a man crush on Stalin

Stalin conquered those countries at great human cost.
How do you propose FDR should have gotten Stalin to give them up?

Ask him nicely?

Maybe not supply the Soviet Commies with the following, which the USA did.

• 400,000 jeeps and trucks
• 14,000 airplanes
• 8,000 tractors
• 13,000 tanks
• More than 1.5 million blankets
• 15 million pairs of army boots
• 107,000 tons of cotton
• 2.7 million tons of petroleum products (to fuel airplanes, trucks, and tanks)
• 4.5 million tons of food

The Soviets used those things to defeat the Nazis so that we didn’t have to.
20 million dead vs about 200,00 for US

Not a bad investment on our part

Maybe the Nazis should have defeated the Soviets, with zero Americans dead on European soil.

 

[LA RAM FAN]

Because FDR ran and won four times, the nation was ready to accept term limits.

If it had not, we all know who would now be in his fourth term today and indefinitely into the future.

you nailed it.

Franklin D. Roosevelt - Wikipedia

Here is something not many people are aware of.


With the Wilson administration coming to an end, Roosevelt began planning for his next run for office. Roosevelt and his associates approached Herbert Hoover about running for the 1920 Democratic presidential nomination, with Roosevelt as his running mate.[89]

Campaign for vice president (1920)

Cox and Roosevelt in Ohio, 1920
Roosevelt's plan to convince Hoover to run for the Democratic nomination fell through after Hoover publicly declared himself to be a Republican, but Roosevelt nonetheless decided to seek the 1920 vice presidential nomination.

FDR ranks up there with Hitler, Mao, and Stalin as one of the worst human beings to ever live. He plunged eastern Europe into 50 years of slavery under communism because he had a man crush on Stalin. He robbed and interned thousands of American citizens in concentration camps because of their race, and he blocked Jewish refugees from the Holocaust entering into the US, turning them around to face certain death in Europe. If there is indeed a Hell, he is in it.

One of our most outstanding Presidents

I figured you'd say that, because:

If that was to happen, the Nazis would have France, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Italy, Norway

Is that the world you want?

Wonder why the American people voted for FDR four times in a row and American Historians named FDR, America's best president?

Because he sent US citizens to internment camps? Was it was because he met with Olympic athletes except for the great Jesse Owens? Was it because he was not able to get us out of the depression until we entered WWII?

The US almost unanimously supported sending the Japanese to internment camps. That includes the Congress and Supreme Court

Oh, so everyone was wrong and he went along with it because he was a leader? Sometimes you need to be a leader or others will need to make excuses for your actions many decades later.

It isn't about what I want. What would have been better the Nazis winning or the Soviets winning (that is who won)? Who would have been easier to deal with? We know the answer relative to the Soviets spreading communism globally and communist revolutions.

Unanimous you say?
In December 1942, a year after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor and several months after Japanese-Americans living on the West Coast were subsequently "relocated" inland to U.S. detention camps, 48% of Americans believed the detainees should not be allowed to return to the Pacific coast after the war. 35% of Americans said they should be allowed to go back.
President Franklin Roosevelt signed an executive order to relocate nearly 120,000 Japanese-Americans living on the West Coast to internment camps during the war. Roosevelt's order forced those of Japanese ancestry living on the West Coast to evacuate, regardless of their citizenship or their sympathies. This decision was driven by the fear that Japanese-Americans would be loyal to Japan and sabotage the U.S. war effort.

Gallup asked those who said Japanese-Americans should not be able to return to the Pacific coast a follow-up question: "What should be done with them?" Half (50%) believed they should be sent "back to Japan," and 13% said, "Put them out of this country." One in 10 Americans (10%) said to "leave them where they are -- under control."

Toward the end of the war, after the Supreme Court ruled in late 1944 that the incarceration of loyal Japanese-Americans was illegal, detainees began returning to the coast. The last internment camp closed in March 1946.

President Gerald Ford in 1976 formally terminated Roosevelt's executive order, calling the internment camps -- by then considered a blatant violation of civil liberties -- a "national mistake." In 1988, Congress awarded $20,000 in restitution to each camp survivor, with 73,000 people expected to eventually receive compensation.

Gallup Vault: WWII-Era Support for Japanese Internment

In 1942, 48% of Americans said that Japanese-Americans incarcerated during World War II should not be allowed to return to the Pacific coast after the war. Half of this group said the detainees should be sent "back to Japan."

Lincoln preserved the Union. The scumbag fdr threw innocent, loyal Americans into concentration camps (among other atrocities).
