Oh boy I have never seen such a hero "Christ-like" cult worship than the worship of this man, who is perhaps the most vile President we've ever had. It shows you how successful liberals have been in this country, in that they somehow made this man, who should be considered the most vile President America ever had, into an almost "Christ-like" worship figure.
Let us clear up some misconceptions about FDR and his supposed "accomplishments."
1. "FDR got us out of the Great Depression"- This is false, FDR's New Deal did NOT get us out of the Great Depression at all, but instead put this country into it's first sign of debt. In fact FDR's New Deal economic policies are still being felt today as we are still feeling the debt caused by the New Deal and LBJ's Great Society. The way FDR "got us out of the Great Depression" was by using the Federal Reserve to inflate the money supply. As much as I despise Morgenthau, he even admitted in 1939 that the FDR Administration spent all of the money in the Treasury and did not produce any results, as people were still as jobless as in 1933. It wasn't until World War II and the war-time economy that people stated going back to work, either in the factory making war-time goods, or as soldiers.
2. "FDR won World War II"- Oh he won it alright, at the cost of the world being subjected to Communism. It has been well known recently that FDR was baiting Germany and Japan to fire the first shot, as he was anxious to get America into the war. The myth that FDR was an "isolationist" is exactly that, a myth. FDR was heavily involved using American submarines to bomb German U-boats when America was neutral, along with baiting Japan by cuttiong off their oil and rubber, by refusing Japan's desire to negotiate, and by deliberately leaving the naval unit in Pearl Harbor, just waiting for the attack to happen. And the cost of FDR winning World War II? Well we lost Europe to Stalin after FDR and Churchill gave Stalin all of Eastern Europe and half of Germany, we gave German slave-laborers for Soviet labor, we gave the Soviets Manchuria which led to the loss of China to Soviet Communism etc. And all of this when Japan was willing to negotiate with America and it is well known that Hitler did not want war with anyone? They don't call World War II as the war that destroyed the West for no reason and this was FDR and Churchill's war.
3. "FDR hated Big Business"- Well I will admit FDR called out Wall Street in his speeches but make no mistake FDR was a free trader, because he came from a liberal background so inb that respect he helped Big Business.
4. "FDR created a moral America"- This must be why FDR had numerous affairs in the White House correct? :wink: Although looking at his wife, who looks like she could land a role in "Night of the Living Dead" perhaps I can understand that. You definitely know he simply married her for simple political power and family influence. Yes he created a "moral America" which must be why he let Hollywood run around with every form of leftist and pro-Communist ideals they could, in fact FDR supported the Hollywood Jєωs in this endevour, since his Administration itself was full of Soviet and Communist spies.
