wow this thread has grown really fast!
The US cut off Japan's oil supply. The Japanese then had three options
1. Give in to US demands and cut the crap in China.
2. Grind to a halt.
3. Attack.
How an attack came as a surprise given those options, is what has led to all the conspiracy theories.
Alot of worse betrayels have taken place in history.
Don't forget that he also increased the national debt from less than 1 trillion to over 3 trillion. Sure, he reduced the marginal rate of taxes from 70% to 28%, but in so doing he increased government borrowing, and spent money like a drunken sailor on shore leave.
Reagan? Gorbachev ended the Cold War - not Reagan.
wow this thread has grown really fast!
Japan gets a pass for bullying us because we don't provide oil to them yet the U.S. gets hammered for doing the same to the middle east?
So, you're justifiying bad behavior with an example of other bad behavior?
Um all I was saying was that FDR betrayed us...by allowing the japanese to attack us so he could unter us into the war. Lots of witnesses and written correspondence has been recorded on this. google it, or read the half dozen books written on it.
I'm surprised it hasn't been locked. If I said what I thought about slavery and the C.W. it would be.
Woodrow Wilson. He signed the legislation that allowed for the creation of the Federal Reserve.
Did the bullseye on your belly finally get washed off? Or did your hair finally grow back over it?
Woodrow Wilson!!!!!! Why didn't you include him? He signed in the FED!!!!! You're money is worthless paper, and inflation is destroying the country, and taxing the working class into abject poverty, and Wilson didn't even make it to this pole?!
On Sunday, December 23, 1913, two days before Christmas, while most of Congress was on vacation, President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into law. Wilson would later express profound regret over his tragic decision, stating:
"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world - no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men."
No FDR in the poll either.Second worst President ever.
Nor do they quote speeches given by Southern politicians and VIPs to the conventions that decided to vote in favor of secession. What do you suppose all those men were talking about? Taxes and tariffs?
