You were on a roll right up to the "willing to work" part. Are you completely forgetting that FDR was a Democrat?

Can you imagine the disaster if it was Republicans who had to restructure us into a wartime economy with their states rights and isolationist philosophies?
FDR was the right man for the right time

FDR rightly dumped money into our economy when nobody else would.

The scumbag "dumped" American citizens into concentration camps.
Yes he did

I visited Hyde Park last month and what struck me the most about FDR was that he seemed to be the only one in that era who "got it"
He understood the depression was about people and not corporations
He understood the panic of the time and what he needed to do to calm it
He understood the threat of the Nazis and Japan
It was funny reading the anti-FDR rhetoric Republicans were using......exact same nonsense they use against Obama
Everything you just wrote is a lie.....the same as your usual posts.
When I visited Hyde Park, I noted the Henry Wallace Library adjacent and attached to Roosevelt's.
Ironic, huh?
Roosevelt attached to the communist Henry Wallace in life and afterwards as well.
Let's see...
Rightwingnuts scream.......commie, commie, commie
Their rhetoric didn't work then, doesn't work now
But you didn't deny that Wallace was a communist.....
...nor that Roosevelt demanded Wallace as his vice-president after Garner....or he wouldn't run.
Yes.....he actually threatened not to run.
Come on PC
To you, everyone to the left of Nixon is a communist

No one who commits such an outrage can be considered anything but a fucking scumbag. He was the worst villain to hold the office of Chief Executive in US history.

Why can't you stick to the facts that I've posted?
Oh...right.....because they're facts.
Go ahead...challenge any of 'em.
Americans are the hardest working and among the most productive on earth
It is Conservatives who call them lazy

It is easy to Monday morning quarterback 70 years later. Every nation on earth took similar actions or worse during the war.
FDR gave in to post Pearl Harbor histeria
So did 90% of Americans who supported his actions
Wallace began as a right wing populist and ended up a populist socialist. Use terms correctly, PC.
And "Discussion in 'History' started by PoliticalChic, Today at 7:21 AM."
It's tough to be PC.
The blending of socialist ideas into a capitalist economy is what created the middle class in America. That led to America being the richest and most powerful country the world has ever seen. It was done without conquering vast regions and numbers of other countries with military might. FDR promised a chicken in every pot. By the time he was done he had us lined up for a house, car, college education and jobs for everyone willing to work. Presidents that followed him kept to his basic plans until Reagan showed up. Countries been a mess ever since.

Oh, so do you play the suckass apologist for Hitler, Stalin, Mao and every other dictator of the day? After all, that's just what everyone did back then so it's fine, right suckass?
We would have sided with Hitler and the world would be a vastly different place.FDR was the right man for the right time
Can you imagine where we would have been if Republicans had been allowed to lead us out of the depression or during WWII?

Republicans would have bitched about HItler but would have done nothing about him
They would have tied us up in interstate bickering about who was getting defense dollars and would not have been able to build an allied alliance
We would have fought as isolationists
.......nobody was executed

What nonsense.
- FDR did very little for the Army either with its size or weapons and during the 1930s, his defense budgets were cut to the bone.
- To quote George Marshall's words to FDR in May 1940: "If you don't do something...and do it right away, I don't know what is going to happen to this country". FDR had underestimated the Japanese and the Pearl Harbor attack devastated the American Navy and exposed the president's incompetence.

Before the war, FDR and Hitler had quite an amiable relationship.
The National Socialists praised Roosevelt.
" Fascism did not acquire an evil name in Washington until Hitler became a menace to·the Soviet Union."
