Quote:Just two quick points: calling Woodrow Wilson a Socialist is Comedy Central worthy; I think you need to read up on Roosevelt and Yalta - tell me what you think his options were and how things could have been done differently. The standard in hind-sight views of Yalta are pretty lacking in my opinion.

 

Wilson was a Socialist who couldn't conceive exactly how the government could carry out the Socialist agenda. His writings prove time and again that he believed that the rights of the community at large superseded the rights of the individuals that comprised it and that the government had every right to assume control of both the public and private spheres. Progressive, Socialist, Leftist, Democrat...a dime's worth of difference, all tracing their roots in this country to Woodrow Wilson.

 

What we know about FDR is that when he was done negotiating at Yalta the fates of millions of Eastern Europeans were doomed to fall behind the Iron Curtain.
