Roosevelt's Rotten Record:Communism, Treachery, Betrayal
Franklin Roosevelt was a closet communist. http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHART.../6315/fdr.html
Everything he condemned in Hitler - one party state, dictatorship, secret police, concentration camps, press censorship - he supported in Stalin. Apologists for FDR state that this was because of the wartime alliance with the USSR. This is a lie. One of the first acts of the Roosevelt administration in the field of foreign affairs was to give diplomatic recognition to the Soviet Union. This was at the same time - 1933 - that Stalin was starving 10 million Ukrainians to death www.holodomor.org which the US government knew all about. Also during the Spanish civil war instead of being neutral and supporting neither side Roosevelt openly sided with the Repubicans who had many communists in their ranks and who had received arms and ammunition from Stalin. Roosevelt spoke of "democracy" when in reality he helped extend soviet communist dictatorship over half of Europe. It was FDR who came up with the idea of unconditional surrender instead of a negotiated peace which prolonged the war leading to millions of casualties on both sides. Roosevelt was a criminal who should have been impeached. |

Almost immediately upon taking office, however, President Roosevelt moved to establish formal diplomatic relations between the United States and the Soviet Union. His reasons for doing so were complex, but the decision was based on several primary factors. Roosevelt hoped that recognition of the Soviet Union would serve U.S.strategic interests by limiting Japanese expansionism in Asia, and he believed that full diplomatic recognition would serve American commercial interests in the Soviet Union, a matter of some concern to an Administration grappling with the effects of the Great Depression. Finally, the United States was the only major power that continued to withhold official diplomatic recognition from the Soviet Union.

I see an OP filled with lies. I see the lies supported with crack-pot websites. I chose to ridicule the OP.
Generic ridicule. |

Roosevelt was very thin skinned. In true communist fashion he came up with the idea of a soviet type show trial to imprison critics of his warmongering and pro communist policies all the while hypocritically claiming world war 2 was being fought for democracy including freedom of speech. http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Great_S..._Trial_of_1944

Tell you what, Roosevelt died before my father was born, Stalin followed not long after, and the Soviet Union fell before my now-adult kid was born. What's next, you gonna start bitching about the Teapot Dome scandal? Who the hell cares?
When you catch up to this century, let me know. |

No, he will shockingly hint that certain Canadian politicians accepted money from railway interests to buy votes and then secure lucrative contracts. Granted this was the 1870s....

Amazing. Some Republican's give Dems grief about not being able to let go of the Bush the Younger administration - and then some folks can't even let go of a Presidency that ended 65+ years ago.
These people are really in a funk that FDR was elected - four times. |

The Roosevelt administration instituted the Fair Labor Relations Act. This gave us the 40 hour week, minimum wage, legalization of labor unions and the right to strike. is this communism?

I was getting my hair cut when the topic of discussion with the stylist turned to politics. She mentioned how she hates (I mean HATES) FDR. One of the main reasons being because FDR caused the Great Depression. ![]() I should mention this in Orange County, CA which is one of the few conservative bastions in Southern California. In the course of the same conversation I had to adamantly state we did not evolve from monkeys and that “evolution is 'just' a theory” is not quite the counterpoint she thinks it is. I had to ask where she gets this crap from, which is generally ill advised to ask of someone holding scissors. |

I know people who would certainly call it socialism (in a negative context) and yet are happy to benefit from these protections. The disconnect between what people rail against and what they benefit from is sometimes staggering.
I have a coworker who argues that what is wrong with the economy is that government (federal and state) is too big and unions are to blame. The irony being he is a teacher now and before that was in law enforcement. So he has been on the government payroll and protected by strong unions most of his career. If he seriously believed his own reasoning shouldn't he quit and get a job in the private sector? |

FDR opened diplomatic relationships with Stalin precisely so he could find a way to end the horrible actions you accuse him of condoning. For the same reason the regimes of Pol Pot and mister Mugabe were recognised. Please stop being silly now.

Whatever one may think about FDR's New Deal policies during the Great Depression (and I am kind of ambivalent about them), his leadership during WWII, IMO makes him one of the great American presidents. Of course, a Neo-Nazi would probably disagree with me.

OP, I guess FDR duped the entire US public, except for you. Hats off!

Roosevelt stands condemned as a warmonger. In 1938-39 in secret dealings with the Polish government he urged them not to negotiate with Germany for a peaceful solution to a territorial dispute. FDR's insistence on a belligerent attitude accelerated tensions and contributed to the outbreak of conflict. www.ihr.org/jhr/v04/v04p135_Weber.html

Who is condemning him? 4 rednecks jacked up on meth and jack daniel's in their backyard?
A group of rebellious teenagers in Frankfurt? Some guy named Eddie in his mom's basement in Queens? |

Sorry, the warmonger would still be Herr Schickelgruber who was making the territorial demands, positioning his armies and using spec ops people to cause an incident.
By this logic, if Canada made territorial demands on the US (say over part of Maine or the Alaskan Panhandle) and Mexico urged the US to stand firm on its territorial integrity and Canada then launched a war after prepositioning it's troops, ratcheting up international tensions with a propaganda war and finally faking a terrorist incident to justify the invasion, then the Mexican President would be the warmonger? |
