1. Take a look at how the Soviet Communists valued the lives of their citizens:
a. "We must rid ourselves once and for all of the Quaker-Papist babble about the sanctity of human life." Leon Trotsky
b. "As one of his friends later recalled, "Vladimir Ilych Ulyanov (Lenin) had the courage to come out and say openly that famine would have numerous positive results...Famine, he explained....would bring about the next stage more rapidly, and usher in socialism, the stage that necessarily followed capitalism. Famine would also destroy faith, not only in the tsar, but in God, too." The Black Book of Communism, p.123-124.
c. "In 1945 Zhukov is reported to have said to US General Dwight D. Eisenhower, "If we come to a minefield, our infantry attacks exactly as it were not there." Georgy Zhukov hero file
This version of Leftism, Soviet Communism slaughtered 100 million human beings, the majority of them their own citizens.
The butchering of their own citizenry is a hallmark of totalitarian governance.
2. When this fact about their fellow totalitarians is brought to the attention of Americans on the Left, who share the same aims, the Liberals and Progressives, the inhumanity is met with a shrug.
When the shocking fact of the slaughter was brought to the attention of a resident Leftist, his shrug came out this way, as a sneer:
"Sure it wasn't 100 billion?"
FDR Admiration Society
3. The above quote from a Leftist was in a thread called "The FDR Admiration Society." No coincidence, as so many Leftists, Liberals, Progressives are supporters of a President who had a very similar cavalier attitude toward about American lives, the patron of the Soviet Communists, Franklin Roosevelt.
Let me put it this way: if Franklin Roosevelt had more of a concern for the lives of American troops, one would imagine his aim would be to bring WWII to a rapid and successful conclusion.
Not just successful.....but rapid.
He would not have acquiesced to the demands of Joseph Stalin, demands which extended WWII by years, with the commensurate American deaths and casualties associated with those additional years.
Roosevelt would have looked at the United States Declaration of Independence and aimed to safeguard the lives of our troops, and supported them in their pursuit of happiness.
But he had something very different in mind........
