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.

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

Well you're certainly predictable in your postings. We get it - you hate Roosevelt and believe the Holocaust was faked. Try something new or original or *shock* with actual evidence....

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.

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?

Anything that interferes with the absolute right of employers is communistic.

Employees should be grateful to be allowed to work and should love their employers and be happy to kiss the boot that kicks them.

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.

I hear that from time to time. Most often from people that want to tell me why gold in the only true money. Somehow the Great Depression started in 1929 because FDR took office in 1933.

The propaganda artists of the right are masters at rewriting history.

An old Bircher claim is that the initials JS on the Roosevelt dime were put there to honor Joseph Stalin.

Which by the way has an excellent article on the Beatles song Get Back, then tells us the original version of the song (complete with lost lyrics) is about Lennon's hatred of Pakistanis

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.

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

In your gushing poetic over your love for Nazis you seem to have neglected that the 'territorial dispute' was Nazis wanting all of Polish land.

Quote:
FDR's insistence on a belligerent attitude accelerated tensions and contributed to the outbreak of conflict. oh look more nazi-luving links
In other words, FDR might have suggested that maybe Poland shouldn't roll over like the Czeks.

I don't see anywhere that Roosevelt stands condemned as a warmonger.

Perhaps you're confusing this forum with an alternative history one?

FDR's insistence on a belligerent attitude accelerated tensions and contributed to the outbreak of conflict. www.ihr.org/jhr/v04/v04p135_Weber.html
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?

Perhaps you're confusing this forum with an alternative history one?
He's condemned as a war monger if you want to see all members of certain classes of people murdered. Interesting use of the word condemned.

No, shot, burned at the stake, and then hung.

I'm not sure this country has had a bigger POS in the White House than FDR.
