Thoughts Aloud

Republicans, the other “Confederacy of Fools”, figure they’re a slam dunk in 2012. Well guess what? FDR won a second, third, and fourth. He did it without the internet and the MSM in his corner? What was it Yogi Berra said, “It’s deja vous all over again.”

Read this book (nonfiction horror); “The Roosevelt Myth”, John T. Flynn, Copyright; 1948, 1956, Revised Edition 1956. Preface to the Revised addition:

It has seemed advisable to offer a new edition of this volume for a very obvious reason. In the eight years since it first appeared a great mass of testimony has come from various witnesses whose evidence was not available when this book was written. In the main this testimony has completely buttressed and confirmed the facts as they appeared in the original edition. But some of those new revelations have made necessary certain revisions throughout the text. As an example, Chapter II in Book Three originally made no mention of the treasonable activities of Harry Dexter White, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under Henry Morgenthau. White dominated that Department and was thus able– as an agent of Soviet Russia__ to induce Roosevelt to accept a secret Stalin plan for a post-war Germany against the wishes of Roosevelt’s own cabinet members, Secretaries Hull and Stimson. The fully documented story of this almost unbelievable betrayal of America’s interest will now be found in the chapter mentioned.

Other additions to the Roosevelt story have been made in a Postscript, which serves as a reappraisal of Roosevelt’s character and his regime as we look back over the 11 years since his death. It is hoped that this Postscript will add to and enliven the portrait of Roosevelt and the New Deal which this volume contains.” John T. Flynn, Bayside, Long Island, May 1956

The book is available on Amazon.com. I searched for a hard copy and found one copy in our library system in southwest Mississippi. It has never been re-printed…..Surprise ……Surprise!
