Sure you are, shit for brains.
Reading comprehension do you understand it!
Fucking moron!
Sure you are, shit for brains.
No one is defending it asshat.
I know no one is defending it, I am talking about the logic behind it even in context.
If you understand it then why are you asking the question? Was there segregation in the 40's? Was it common at the time to round up those that you didn't like or trust? Was there a war going on? Were we attacked by the Japanese? Did the president do anything that would have been considered abnormal at that point in time in history?
Yeah looking back on it it's quite disgusting but that's not how educated scholars judge people and it's why this thread is pure garbage.
You don't judge a person in history based on today's standards. Do you look down upon your grand parents for their views on racial equality? If you do, do you compare their actions/views in the past to today's standards and call them names now or do you look at their views and actions of today and base your view of them on today's standards?
I was just reminded that:
"Lefties have an amazing ability to uphold FDR as some sort of admirable standard, absolving him of responsibility for starting the federal war on pot,.......
The left can't even be neutral on him. Why is that?
The forces of Stalin and FDR get credit for saving Jews just like Lincoln gets credit for freeing the slaves... yet both men were white nationalists.
Meanwhile, there is probably someone currently accusing Old Right Dr. Paul of being racist... yet Dr. Paul of the Old Right isn't racist.
FDR is a hero to the left because of the New Deal and the idea that the middle class could only exist if big govt stepped in and institute wide ranging changes to break up trusts and regulate industries to protect the common man and small businesses.
In other words, the Left is stupid enough to believe that the super wealthy, Wall Street-connected Roosevelt, who was put in office by super wealthy Wall Street banks and corporations, became president to regulate those same super wealthy banks and corporations for the betterment of the little people?
Ha, ha, ha...
Might as well believe in the fucking Easter Bunny and Santa Claus, too!

Glass Steagall was supported by the Rockefellers and that was why he signed it into law.FDR was not a big wall street stooge. He irritated WS and made enough enemies from the business sector and wallstreet to make them plot an armed military coup.
This is the type of response that just shows how the right have managed to turn the truth upside down after decades of political activism on the right to rewrite history.
Old respected democrasts/conservatives are labelled as proto-communists, FDR is wall street connected banker, Rand Paul is supposedly a true old school conservative...

I was just reminded that:
"Lefties have an amazing ability to uphold FDR as some sort of admirable standard, absolving him of responsibility for starting the federal war on pot, expanding the corporate state more than any other president, building the modern military-industrial complex, sending Jewish refugees back to die in the Holocaust, establishing legally dubious military commissions, forcing a hundred thousand people known to be harmless into concentration camps on the basis of race, firebombing dozens of cities, arranging ethnic cleansing and murderous repatriation schemes with Stalin, and creating the first nuclear weapons."
The left can't even be neutral on him. Why is that?

He was the first and only President to authorize the use of Atomics in war. DUH!
I hope you are kidding.
FDR was long dead by the time Truman authorized the nuclear strikes on Japan.
