yeah that is what I did...leftist statists...ugh.Interesting how you support the interests of Nazis and Japan over FDRIf I might summarize your belief system...It seems that hundreds of America's most noted historians is a pretty good authority. But then we have the authority on logic, Unkotare, calling it a fallacy, so I think I will go with the hundreds of historians. Nothing personal Unkotare.Some people can't think for themselves, so they let others do it for them.And who decides a logical fallacy?
Classical Logic (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Let me know when you need help understanding this.
His argument is classic appeal to authority.
You purposely ignore the following FACTS about FDR:
- condemned Hoover during the 1932 campaign for economic interventions, then intervened 1,000 times more than Hoover.
- actively tried to stack the Supreme Court, when his stupid policies were found unconstitutional.
- forced farmers nationwide to destroy their products under the belief that scarcity would revive the economy, all while millions of Americans were starving.
- filled his administration with Stalinist spies and ignored all warnings about them. His closest adviser reported directly to Stalin.
- set up Poland to make provocative demands of Hitler before Germany invaded, making many promises he had no intention of fulfilling.
- in the 1940 campaign he said repeatedly that American boys would not die in Europe, all the while actively trying to get Hitler to sink American shipping as a pretense for war.
- Placed absurdly stringent sanctions on Japan, knowing they would likely resort to military action.
- Knew Japan planned to attack Pearl Harbor BEFOREHAND, but told no one (but did manage to get the carriers out of Pearl) and scapegoated commanders after the event.
- Provided massive amounts of supplies to the USSR, while American troops went without and suffered on the battlefield for it.
- Placed the requirement of unconditional surrender on Japan and Germany (per Stalin's direction), thus prolonging the war causing hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths.
- Imprisoned Americans during the war unconstitutionally.
- Refused to bomb Nazi prison camps and rail lines leading to them, knowing full well what was going on there.
- Knew Stalin committed the atrocity at the Katyn Forest, but continued to blame Germany.
- Was terribly ill and entirely unfit to be POTUS during the war and even ran for a fourth term, from his deathbed.
What is there to admire?
