So forget the historians if that nettles you, how about the people of that period, they elected FDR four times and that is a record that will probably stand for some time. The people of the period knew about the internment camps and all the other charges Republicans can muster up against FDR some seventy years later. and the people still voted for FDR. Perhaps Republicans should be trying to figure out how to elect someone better than their last president, fifth worst. The president that Jeb Bush never seems to have heard of.
"They elected FDR four times and that's a record that will likely stand for some time"? I hope it stands for a long, long time. It took an Amendment to the Constitution to force democrats to act like all the gentlemen before them and bow out after two terms. The point is that it don't matter how many times the fool was elected. As a matter of fact Americans voted for a a virtual freaking corpse in his last term because the media supported FDR and they made sure nobody outside the DNC knew he was going to die before his term was up. Democrats knew it and that's why they kicked a competent sitting V.P. off the ticket and hand picked dumb assed Harry Truman because they knew he was a pushover. The dirty little secret is that Americans were pretty much victims of the slick media for most of the 20th century and there was no fair and balanced voice until the 80's and early 90's that challenged democrat propaganda disguised as news. Hitler came into power about the same time as FDR and the good people of Germany justified the Holocaust because their only information source was controlled by the government. Americans didn't care about Japanese Concentration Camps because the media didn't care about Japanese Concentration camps. You almost gotta laugh that the FDR defense has deteriorated to "well duh, people voted for him". The fact that a president had the power to issue an executive order that forced the incarceration of American citizens and the radical FDR defenders justify it to this day is such a freaking chilling reminder of how easy it is for the pop-culture education system to convince fools and idiots that atrocities are fine as long as the media says it's fine and there is a democrat in the W.H.
The dirty little secret is Americans are still victims of a slick media. Most of the MSM today is completely in the D camp and are blatant progressives or worse. Yes there are many alternative news sources and many Americans no longer pay any attention to the MSM, but millions still do. We see their posts on this forum everyday.
