137. Without FDR, America would have become an ally of Nazi Germany
Edited on Wed Apr-22-09 06:50 PM by IndianaGreen
There was strong support for Hitler and fascism in America before Pearl Harbor. Industrialists such as Henry Ford, media magnates such as William Hearst, entertainers such as Walt Disney, politicians such as Prescott Bush and Joseph Kennedy Sr., and national heroes such as Charles Lindbergh were among thousands of America that admired how Hitler had dealt with the "Reds" in Germany and wanted America to remain isolationist.

The GOP would have impeached FDR at the drop of a hat had they known of FDR's circumvention of Neutrality Act to help England against Hitler at the hour of her greatest need.

FDR saved this nation from suffering the fate of Europe at the hands of Hitler. The Holocaust would have remained a secret, except to the countless millions of additional victims from the Americas.
