Where he asks Congress to declare war on Japan for the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Philippines, Wake Island, and Guam:

Total piece of shite. Americans wanted no part of that war so he arranged for Japan to pull us in.

As I said yesterday, Churchill was begging the US to join the war to help with the Battle in the Atlantic, but congress and the US people didn’t want it. Churchill and Roosevelt needed something to draw us in.

That is contrary to the poll numbers we have from Gallup in the latter half of 1941.

On November 26, 1941, Gallup asked the following question: "Which of these two things do you think is the more important–that this country keep out of war, or that Germany be defeated?"

The answers may surprise you:

Germany be defeated: 68%
Keep out of the war: 28%
No opinion: 5%

Germany attacking and sinking our merchant shipping in the autumn of 1941 would have eventually brought us into the war in 1942, just as it did in 1917.

I love it. Everything's a big conspiracy. And we both know who was REALLY behind it.

They hated him so much that they elected him 4 times to make him age faster.

My FIL, who was 93 Former Marine who fought the Japs in the South Pacific before he died, would have punched you right in the eye for saying that.

How, explicitly did FDR communicate to the Japanese government he wanted them unprovoked to sneak attack Pearl Harbor and kill 2,400 American military men? You said it, back it up factually, no long winded conspiracy theories allowed. Prove it.

Btw, don’t bother signing up for the military if we’re ever in need with another attack on our country. You’d be especially scared shitless in Marine Corps boot camp and die of fear.

Although I doubt that thought has ever passed your timid little brain. It must feel pleasant to you to slander the names of the men who died defending our country at Pearl Harbor and during WW2.

Please keep your retarded bullshite to yourself.

Anyway, it's not a 'conspiracy theory.' There is ample evidence that FDR et al allowed that attack to happen.

My great-uncle was touring DC and happened to get a seat in the public gallery for that speech. His twin brother was a pilot in the Army Air Corps and received the Silver Star for his actions in the attack the day before. I always thought that was pretty cool.

Just as I thought, you're happy being a scared little puppy allowing others to defend you.

Crawl back under your mommies bed, you'll be safe there.

FDR was a POS, but not for this reason. The conspiracy theorists who thinks FDR knew about, or helped arrange, Pearl Harbor are deranged.

Found another safe space for you. You can't logically back up anything you've said and will fit right in. Although few there engage in slandering American military personnel who fought during WW2.

Safe Space for Blue Boy

Now, frick off shitbird.

NYT Article Re: “Day of Deceit”

9/11, “Fast and Furious”, WMDs, C-19,

Who’s slandering service men? Where in the US Constituion does it say one can’t have a dissenting opinion?
