Emperor Roosevelt stomped all over the Constitution. He set up a vast bureaucracy that still plagues us today. Prior to that, the federal government was just a kind of caretaker for the collective state governments. He presided over extensive communist infiltration of the new-powerful government. Communists in the federal government colluded with the Russians to push for war against Japan. He also violated George Washington's two-term precedent because he loved power so much. We were right to set up term limits, it's only a pity that we didn't do it for Congress at the same time.

Well there was also that whole Pearl Harbor thing that brought the Americans into the war.

FDR provoked the shit out of the Japanese. The Japanese didn't want to strike south, they wanted to invade Siberia. A dirty Communist spy in FDR's administration was a highly placed diplomat who did everything he could to take the pressure off Russia. The result was endless provocations that angered the Japanese.

FDR also deliberately didn't warn the commanders at Pearl Harbor. There is a very serious book from a reputable historian called "Infamy" that concludes this from all the evidence.

Admiral J.O. Richardson: The admiral said he was going to tell a story that the lieutenant could regard as a parable. "Assume", Richardson said, "you were the leader of the greatest nation in the world, and assume that you saw, in another hemisphere, the development of a power which you regarded, and with reasonable support, as a total threat to Western civilization as you knew it. Supposing, however, for various reasons, your conception of the danger was not shared by your constituents, your own people. And you saw the total destruction of western civilization in the hands of this adversary, and your detected in your own people, at the time, on the basis of everything they knew, a lack of appreciation of the problem. Assume you saw that the only salvation of Western civilization was to repel this particular power but that required you to enter a foreign war for which your people were not psychologically or militarily prepared. Assume that what was needed to galvanize your own people for a unified approach towards this basic danger to civilization was an incident in which your posture was clearly of passive non-aggression, and apparent unpreparedness; and the incident in question was a direct act of aggression which had no excuse or justification. Assume that you saw this potentiality developing on the horizon and it was the solution to the dilemma, as you saw it, of saving civilization and galvanizing your own people. It is conceivable, is it not, that you might be less disposed to create a situation in which there might be no doubt as to who struck the first blow"...."It's a fable. You just think about that fable as you study some of this material. And, it's conceivable that it might have some enlightening factors."

That about explains the United States allowing the Japanese to attack her. Written by a credible historian, he went and read every single piece of correspondence written about the investigation afterwards and concludes, yes the commanders of Pearl Harbor were hung out to dry and blamed so that FDR could have his war.

He literally robbed the nation of it's gold reserves and future monetary stability, gave the banks a free pass to exploit the people, got the US into a war it had no business in in a time they weren't ready for war, let zionist lobbyists get a stranglehold on America in order to fulfill their Balfour declaration with Britain, he fucked over farmers, and was a close friend of the biggest genocidal maniac funding the death of tens of millions in Stalin. Fuck FDR

The point seems to be that some people don't know what socialism and communism is was.

*Now properly disposed on the trash heap of history.

Roosevelt was certainly not socialist/communist and no one that voted for him thought he was.

if roosevelt wasn't socialist then what would u describe him as?

[–]DffrntDrmmr 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

He was a liberal Democrat.

Though he introduced reforms during difficult times, he was patriotic to America's democratic and capitalist institutions.

America's social safety net was inadequate during the Great Depression so he took action to remedy that.

Socialism is a different thing entirely (though ideologues today are attempting to blur distinctions). In short, socialism is a system where wealth and the means of production are in the hands of the government.

Capitalism is a system where wealth and the means of production are in the hands of the private sector. Like in a Monopoly game, there is need for fair rules for all, but social programs and regulations are not socialism and FDR was not a socialist. He was a Democrat who supported democracy and free enterprise but intended to improve it.

Exactly, he was FAR FROM a communist but he sold out the country nonetheless.

webster tarpley actually praises this psychopath

[–]Jesus 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Tarpley lies about Lincoln and has many ties to Russian oligarchs liek Trump.

clinton and bernie sanders have more connections to russia

[–]Jesus 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

They all do. But Trum has connections with the Chanad Lubavitch cult and the rabbi who brought up Putin is good friends with Trump, Kushner and Netanyahu.
