OPINION: Pearl Harbor Day One For Which Franklin Delano Roosevelt Shoulders Infamy
OPINION: Pearl Harbor Day One For Which Franklin Delano Roosevelt Shoulders Infamy
On Dec. 7, 1941, the Empire of Japan bombed the U.S. Pacific Fleet which was stationed in Pearl Harbor on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. In addressing Congress the next day, President Roosevelt called it “a date which will live in infamy.” But Roosevelt’s reputation should live in infamy too. The line that Roosevelt enthusiasts and left-wing historians have peddled for so many years is that the attack was a complete surprise. Here’s a sample from The American Pageant, a typical left-wing American history textbook widely used in American high schools: Officials in Washington, having “cracked” the top-secret code of the Japanese, knew that Tokyo’s decision was for war … Roosevelt, misled by Japanese ship movements in the Far East, evidently expected the blow to fall on British Malaya or on the Philippines. No one in high authority in Washington seems to have believed that the Japanese were either strong enough or foolhardy enough to strike Hawaii.

FDR screwed the pooch by denying America it's National Security while kicking the Constitution to the curb for a fistful of entitlement programs and power grabs should be enough for him being in the Presidential hall of shame.
The so called common history of a "sneak attack" by Japan is a complete and utter lie told by FDR and Democrats, who called Stalin "Uncle Joe" and admired his work program of Gulags.
What we see today is the Socialist Left’s version, and it’s in line with the rest of the “fake history” they want American high school students to learn. The Education and Research Institute (ERI — of which I am chairman) has written a critique of The American Pageant, which tells a more accurate story about Pearl Harbor and scores of other events in American history.
Let's face it, FDR's Socialist efforts to revive the economy were going downhill fast. It's been said the economy would have been back to normal by 1936 without FDR's interventions which dragged down even further. War time production was just what the doctor ordered to jumpstart everything.
FDR has many things to answer for, he allowed Japan to attack us at Pearl Harbor, he gave away the store to Stalin at Yalta, which at that time FDR was a very sick man, on his way to his deathbed. The one smart thing he did was to put Eisenhower in charge and give him the freedom to do his job.
The Progressive Marxist Socialist scum here and there are all about revising and telling history in their own warped fashion.
