FDR — one of the great villains in American history.

Possibly the worst.

He was every bit as radical and tyrannical as the current white hut occupant.

Excellent analysis. And in the end, we defeated them anyway — only to see a Communist occupation of our own White House.

Appears to be strikingly similar to what Obama is trying to do with Iran.

I detest him and his ilk. His administration was riddled with Soviet agents, not to mention the State Department, and he knew it, in my opinion.

We would ultimately have had to align with Stalin anyway, or else World War II would ended in victory for Hitler.

We could “unrecognize” Russia, I guess ... :-) ...

AND, while we are at that ... we should also “unrecognize” Red China, too! Nixon did a really bad thing here!

Don’t forget LBJ, the Clintons and the Kennedys.

Make Bonnie and Clyde look like angels.

Nope. Not by a long shot. FDR's alliance with Russiaa was all about WWII. A fact that Diana ignored here. LBJ did far great damage to the US than FDR. And B. Hussein is a close second and gaining fast.

If so, they were covert and not boasting about it.

Compare that to the current White House infested with muzzies and their anti-American dogma.

FDR is an Altar Boy compared to B. Hussein.

Sort of a “Pick Your Poison” situation. This article helps me to see some parallels in American History. Obama crawling on the floors hoping to extend an olive branch to Iran is not without precedent. This article is as full-bodied and opaque as a dark Mexican beer, so I will come back and finish it later, having sampled the froth.

What you say is certainly true.

Back in 1930-1945, it was beyond the comprehension of most Americans that our President would have had any common ground with someone like Stalin.

Now, they don’t even bother to hide it.

That really is the bottom line. A wolf at your door is much more dangerous than a wolf that is some distance away.

Not necessarily, there’s a good chance that if Hitler took Moscow, Stalin and the Bolsheviks would have been removed from power, and a new government could have led Russia to victory, and both the Nazis and Bolsheviks could have been out of the picture.

Interesting thought. But I'd guess that had the Bolsheviks fallen, they most likely would have been replaced by a collaborationist government, something along the lines of Vichy France.
