this was a democrat, one of histories greatest men. Republican opposed entry into the conflict until Pearl Harbor. They were of course wrong all along. Roosevelt is a demon to most in the Republican party--particularly its strom troopers in the tea party. So it is ironic that this appears on this site. Thomas McCormick
Oh no, he's breaking the establishment clause! I guess liberals should hate on FDR for this prayer. He's in violation of the establishment clause. Can you imagine if FDR were a teacher today in America's classrooms! People would freak. God has truly blessed this great nation of ours because we're a nation that puts our faith in Christ alone.
@gunzrkewl context, please. I'm liberal, great speech he calls for a single day of special prayer. It's the people of the united states, giving prayer (their own) to the soliders at the end of each day. Let the words of prayer be on their lips at the end of the day, giving strength to the soldiers task.
I was raised Roman Catholic, and confirmed at that.
@gunzrkewl So in so far as religious tolerance, my family sees none. It is unfair though, to skew these beliefs as strictly religious, these are political views, let not the events of today skew your belief. Let not the obscurations of your beliefs lead you otherwise. We are united, and we have been since that great war, and it is Americans that reap the rewards of the planet together, not seperate.
Thanks! i'm in musical, and i'm FDR. The guy doing the musical wanted me to listen to some recordings of FDR to see how he talked and stuff. This helped!
Can you imagine FDR or any other President for that matter-until this imbecile that's in there now-going on an apology tour?!?...saying " America is not a Christian Country," ...who would play more rounds of golf than play our National Anthem...who would approve Eleanor-or any other First Lady- to " vacation " like Doris Duke, Barbara Hutton or some other spoiled heiress but vacation lavishly w/our dollars!? in Sun Valley or some other resort. This jug-earred imbecile-and his WIFE HAVE TO GO!!
@Rod1stiffington he needs to go NOW!! We have to wait until 2012 for Himself and Madam Mao Michelle but Frau Eva Pelosi along w/Dumbass Harry Reid can go NOW!!! This jug earred moronic imbecile, his Marie Antoinette of a wife and his communist buddies-along w/his apology tours!
@Rod1stiffington Well said! The piece of shit has overstayed his welcome?!? Or is it non-organic manure. Whatever, one cannot make a silk purse out of a sows' ear.
Dear God help us destroy the White race and turn America into a bi-racial third World sewer run by Communists. Help us destroy the quality society of wonderful architecture, music and culture of Nationalist Socialist Germany and help us to have problems till the end of time. Amen FDR.
Nice prayer FDR.. I bet those Russians and 200 or so million Christian Eastern Europeans enjoyed their freedom and liberty you spoke of in your prayer... So nice of you and Churchill to facilitate that for them... I'm sure they are much thankful to you for it.. I'm sure they enjoyed 50 years of Marxism thanks to you.. Burn in hell FDR and Churchill!
As a result of FDR and Churchill over 200 million eastern european chritians lived under a Marxist iron curtain for nearly 50 years after ww2!!! Churchill and FDR are both decieving scum of the earth scoundrels!!~! If they were good men they would have joined Hilter in aniliating Bolshevism.. Study America! You have witnessed the evil of Iraq. You know our leaders lie and it was no different under FDR.. Just more lies w/ out anyone to question them..
@coaltrader07 Uh...allow me to let you in on few facts. The War in Europe didn't end until May 8th, 1945. FDR died-that's DIED-on April 12, 1945. The Allies needed the Russians on the Eastern Front to push back the nazis' and stop them from getting the oilfields in Ploesti and other places east of E. Europe. Churchill voted out of office in june'45 replaced by Atlee. We still had the hell-bent suicide Japanese to surrender.Red Army parked it's savage ass in E. Europe...and stayed there!
@libralady1010 I don't dispute anything that you stated. Pretty much all facts; however, I question the reason we were ever allied with Marxist to begin with. I would have much rather preferred a Europe in which the Nationalist's ruled over. Furthermore, in America we live under a very vile and evil Jewish Apartheid. I would encourage you to carefully consider everything that you have always held true. GB is 90% right but 10% wrong. Don't be decieved.

All of you that think what makes someone a real American are so ignorant that I HAD to post a comment letting you know just how wrong you are. That said you are VERY wrong, I would venture to say that thought alone makes you less American than anyone that doesn't believe that.
Awesome prayer, I wish obama thought we were a Christian Nation and lead us in prayer. We need God's blessing. It matter's not what FDR's triumphs and failures were, because you and I have them too, but atleast he was a good leader in a bad time, he made the best of it, and I believe he did what he thought was the right thing to do at the time. I think this prayer was sincere, though you may think me naive. Nevertheless I continue to pray for our nation, our republic, and hope others will too.
Wow, I don't even think Obama has ever even thought about making a speech like this, it's too bad we have come so far from having real Americans like this
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
FDR was a knob who was motivated by reelection and not by Americas future...........if he had listened to Churchhill most of Eastern Europe wouldn't have lived behind an Iron Curtain for 50 years
@Aussiephil99 Hey...Fact: Churchill was voted out of office and replaced by Atlee and FDR died in April 1945 before the war in Europe was over. Oh...yeah one more thing: FACT: wasn't it a BRITISH PM -Chamberlain-who came back from Munich w/the infamous " Peace in Our Time." Somehow-IDIOT!-you left the f**king French out of all this!
I won't claim that this is FDR's greatest or most galvanizing speech, but it's my personal favorite: noble, understated, comforting yet resolute. It would be unimaginable, in today's stripped-down culture, for a president to infuse a speech with such lofty spiritual sentiments. (Too bad for us.) Great clip -- thanks!

Put thousands of Japanese Americans in concentration camps. All as a pay off to Democratic party members who wanted to steal their land. May he roast in hell
If he had survived, Pres. Roosevelt would have been squarely for the G.I. Bill, something that helped veterans to move America forward after the war. Newt Gingrich, the poster of this video, would have been squarely against it, calling it an unnecessary government program. That alone speaks volumes to the differences between the two.
Newt supported extension and expansion of the GI Bill and VA plans in Congress...I dunno what Getting-Rather-Old-Turks propaganda rag youre reading, but check your sources.
Somehow, the religious tone that FDR takes, is much more muted, and nonthreatening, than the mention of God today. It was an America I know so little of.
God is tainted by Lefty stigma...they flash the same individuals over and over and over to make you think all Christians are crazy...8 of 10 people you see are Christian...Bush's mention of God and religious tone was the same as FDRs, you just have a modified world view.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Oh, really? This is not a discussion over a fact of hard science, so much is left to interpretation. However, that said, I think my original view can be cogently argued and defended. As for my "modified world view", I am not quite sure how this figures in your couterargument.
@whiff1962 That's because God has been taken out of Schools, courthouses, taken off coins, etc. and we're supposed to be " Friends," ?!? w/the countries of the bastards that flew planes into buildings and ran one into the ground-killing "civilian infidels." AND we have a president-an islamic idiot-who goes to those countries saying America isn't a Christian nation." He only used the Reverending Wright in Chicago to get votes.He is hellbent on destroying our great Country...and will be stopped
And people say Obama is a good public speaker? Yeesh. Our standards must have seriosly lessened. Public speaking seems to be a lost artform in America. The last great American speaker and President was Reagan. Obama can't hold even a candle to any of these great men.
Just listened, and watched, this and was deeply, deeply moved. I've never heard or read FDR's prayer before, but what a testimony to the faith and courage of those times. The picture montage was very moving as well ... and the concatenation of D-Day photos followed by contemporary photos I think is very on target. Gratitude for the brave men and women of 1944 and gratitude for the brave men and women of 2009 really go together. Thanks Newt!
V is for Victory and America will be ALWAYS victorious. Enemies do not kid yourself. We are Americans and will never give in or give up and we shall stand with Israel...
When a Nation has a leader who leads the people will always respond to stregth and courage. Anything else is unacceptable for so great a sacrifice to end in VICTORY.
It's not ironic. True Statesmen like Newt can look past party labels and even ideological labels to admire one aspect of a man's presidency. Conservatives can agree with FDR's New (Raw) Deal while still admiring him for leading the country in a fight against fascism. It's only too bad that the leaders of today's Democratic Party feel they can't invoke the name of the Lord or engage in war, as FDR did, against those who would do us harm.

Lets stop lining up our Brave Troops for a couple of fools led by another fool. Best to not live in FEAR which is exactly what they want. FOX News is a purveyor of terror in USA.
yes different in politics but, both were and are PATRIOTIC when it comes to America. Today's politicians who use the word "Liberal" are actually Marxists who hate the very concept of America. FDR's definition of Liberal is far different than today's, his Liberalism included God, Patriotism, duty, morality, and responsibility.
What on earth are you talking about? Today's liberals are Marxists? FDR was FAR to the left of today's liberals. Modern liberals are comfortably pro-corporate whereas liberals in FDR's day were pretty anti-corporate.
FDR launched the New Deal, Public Works Programs, the TVA, etc. Democrats today....well, they sign corporate/banker bailout deals and Clinton cut many welfare programs.
Your argument is silly. FDR and Progressives of his era were far more comfortable with social programs.
Pelosi, Reid, Obama, Biden and all those who think like them are Liberals? They are Marxists who use the words Progressive and Liberal. A Progressive is a Marxist who imposes their legislation over a long period of time. FDR at least defended Americans, there is no doubt Marxists control the Media, education, Hollywood, and the DNC...they think it's a right to have healthcare, a job, and a home. That is right out of the Constitution of the Soviet Union..redistribution of wealth-MARXIST.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Please. They supported the War, the bailouts and they support most pro-corporate policies. Many of them have also voted in favor of gutting welfare programs.
FDR passed the New Deal (far more socialistic than anything modern Dems has passed), was an ardent union supporter, created the Fairness Doctrine, Social Security, supported national healthcare, government housing loans, etc.
If modern corporate Neoliberal Democrats are "Marxists" what are FDR Democrats? Radical Trotskyists?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
In fact for that matter Republicans of the past are far to the left of modern Republicans as well. Republicans like Eisenhower and Goldwater supported most social programs and welfare programs (Eisenhower even extended some and created some of his own), raised taxes on the rich, supported national parks and government health programs, etc. Eisenhower was also the one who warned America about the Military-Industrial Complex.
@A86 That's because there wasn't any of this never-evending welfare bullshit-a new program created EVERYDAY and these " czars" we have! FYI...czar means Ceasar. We didn't have a president that partied w/the "follywood" elite and who spends money like it grows on trees. Didn't have one that went on an 'apology tour' either.Lived overseas w/my parents and NOBODY went out of their way to speak English to me.Yet we're supposed to reward illegals for breaking the law and have ESL classes for free?!?
@A86 Well what can I say? You've been drinking kool-aid again.Or perhaps since the cradle-flavored w/hemlock.No...jug ears has bailed out corporations,embraced the sons of bitches who're trying to kill us.Won't stop until they kill the 'infidel.'Doesn't have Stars+Stripes behind him whilst making a speech.Cash for Clunkers-a screaming success that one was[ NOT!]although it DID remove "obama" stickers off the road.jug ears "has spent nowhere near that much...SO FAR" .THAT SAYS IT ALL! idiot!
@A86 You are SO FULL OF SHIT!! I would answer your silly ass remarks but you're too much of a DUMB-ASS to comprehend! nobama is taking us-ALL OF US-back to 1930!
@A86 you're from the DC area.You'd be forgiven for such silly ass remarks if they weren't so dangerous.FDR created jobs.People had to WORK for the money.There was a real communist threat w/so many starving.There's a real threat NOW ONLY it's in the White House.Has openly identified w/Marxist professors,taking his stupid tour saying we are not a Christian country.What the hell's the matter w/you?! His goal is to overwhelm Capitalist System&keep elitists like himself whole.We'll ALL have nothing!

@libralady1010 - "FDR created jobs.People had to WORK for the money.There was a real communist threat"
Your comments are so silly I scarcely know where to begin.
1) No one is working for no money under Obama.
2) FDR created massive increases in social programs. One of the biggest ones being the Public Works Administration which engaged in government creation of jobs both private and public. This was all part of the New Deal.
@A86 He's not smart enough to create any sort of New Deal, New Frontier or anything requiring BRAINS! No he's created the Hope and Change Gang who couldn't shoot straight!

@libralady1010 - It's not that he's not smart enough he's not progressive enough.
FDR was much more progressive than Obama. Obama wants to keep taxes on the rich lower than even Reagan did. He wants to cut funding for NASA (a social program) and now he has advisers who want to cut Social Security.
Not only has Obama never claimed to have any Marxist professors, let alone identify with any, Obama is much more right-wing than FDR. FDR raised taxes on the rich to over 65% and created the New Deal and Social Security as a way to spread wealth down to the rest of Americans and create a middle class.
Obama proposes taxing the rich no more than 39% (which is 11% less than Ronald Reagan taxed them) and has cut social spending.
@A86 Of COURSE he's never publicly identified w/Marxist professors.He openly embraced the Cloward/Piven strategy@ Columbia which "gaurantees a national income."We all knew @ Alinsky.Cloward/Piven plan is to overwhelm the current system we have by disrupting it through [mostly] Democrat "shock troops.'C/P were p. o in '66 because the dems had control of Congress and the Presidency. this didn't happen.We're done here in any case.Believe what you want.He's an imbecile w/ a credit card & an asshole
What's with the Newt Gingrich theme? He is nothing more than a Baby Boomer Republican--always with other priorities than serving his country. A Chickenhawk. He is not worthy to stand amongst those who served. Hey, Newt, at at time of war, your only role is to shriek for a tax cut. Me, myself, and I, Newt, me, myself and I: the chant of the Baby Boomer Republican.
@Ladyrants Excuse me...Newt was born in 1943 in June. The Boomer Gneration didn't start until January 1st 1946. He was a War Baby-as in World War Two. GEDDIT !!!?
Newt is the quintessential Baby Boomer: me, myself, and I; tax-cuts-in-a-time-of-war; cheap patriotism. Etc. etc. Two-years or so early or late are irrelevant. The Baby Boomer Republicans don't serve and have no concept of historical greatness. I don't know where your hysterical anger comes from, but sick it on someone else. You bore me.
@Ladyrants Not MY politics! [ Oh you're SO ORIGINAL...la-de-da rants] Bersitis ..LMAO! Sure it's not the lapband you were getting info. on?! " 'Sick it on someone else?' "
Yeah?..Go chew on a bone ! " ' You bore me,"
Aw, so sad too f**king bad.
BONE UP on that ' historical greatness' -it's SO GREAT NOW isn't it(!)so you can get free plastic surgery and help clean up America.
One more thing? Keep posting! These moronic, clinically insane remarks of yours are funny as hell!
@Ladyrants Angry? Far from it! A typical liberal as your comments are "hysterically" funny as well as historically inaccurate.You, frau eva pelosi et. al.,self serving/self righteous to the left of extreme left liberals.TRUE BELIEVERS, thinking Big Government's the answer to everything.

@libralady1010 Take your meds. You and Newt are trying desperately to cling to FDR's greatness. You never will. Never. Conservatism is the failed ideology of the 20th century, right up there with Nazism and Communism. Like FDR, I wear your right-wing rage like a badge of honor. Long live FDR, down with Newt, the conservative draft dodger. Down with the culture of the country club!
@LadyrantsFirst;don't belong to a Country Club(!)Second: I'm not the one who has"rants"as a moniker.LMAO! I am SO GLAD you returned!Today as a Nation,we have it SO good, right? NOT! See a travel agent-don't forget your thorzine,book a flight-be sure you preen in the water w/nobama &madam mao michelle-and come back!You're sorely missed w/these comical posts.Comparing nazism/communism(!) w/being a fiscal conservative! lady, keep ranting...and tax those tanning salons alongw/other small businesses!
Wow, never mind. You are nuts. Just keep the right wing and Newt the Vietnam-era draft dodger out of the FDR world of the WW II generation. I hope you learn how to deal with you....whatever. Bye bye.
@Ladyrants OH! don't go...please! Bill Clinton was a draft dodger and I like him. And after all, we have such a genius in the WH now. Frau Eva Pelosi! Well , she's
so in touch w/the entire nation because we have it SO GOOD(! ) so don't go. Please! Whatever.
" how to deal with you." LMAO! I don't have " rants" as part of my moniker. You're hilarious, so don't go away. ;-)
Wow. Hilarity is about ALL anyone has these days, so keep posting.
The ole Dog was opposed to the Vietnam War. Newtie Pie and CheneyCakes were just scared. I can handle a draft dodger who was morally opposed to the war. But your hero Newt was just yellow...and unAmerican, and worthless. BTW, FDR would love this. He wore Righty scorn like a badge of honor.
@Ladyrant "Newtie Pie and CheneyCakes?"Are these new 'Hope and Change,'products subsidized by the government? Of course. First,Newt isn't my hero-my husband is.Where do YOU get off @morals? Handle this: FDR would NOT LOVE this. In case you haven't noticed,clip says FDR's D-Day Prayer.He would be appalled@the lack of leadership and the party,party of the current occupants w/their complete disregard for the Nation. Prayer?They haven't the time.And they're morally opposed to morals.Wear THAT BADGE!

@libralady1010 why are you replying to me a year late? lol i probably made that comment when we were still learning about him. i don't feel the need to look it up thanks!!!!
If our leadership would lead us back to prayer and dependence on God...this country could be great again. Awesome prayer...thanks for posting. A great reminder of how far we have turned from God in this country, and what a price we pay.
Atheism is a religon a belief system in all its structure apologetics and evangelism. Praise the LORD JESUS for faithful leaders who looked to Him and led people to look to Him in 'their finest hour'..
He drew his strength and guidance from God. So you give credit to the man of God..but if he were here, he would give the credit to the God who created him for this great task. Don't turn away from the truth...God answered this man's prayers and the prayers of our nation in our darkest hours. God still answers prayer and just waiting to hear from you and bless you.

There has never been a greater tool for making 'TOOLS' out of unsuspecting and well meaning people. What better way to manipulate people to send their kids to do their dirty deeds?
Religions were all concocted in antiquity from evolving superstitions and cults. ALL OF THEM! Every so called 'Holy Book' has been edited and reedited to subjugate women and justify madness, Every ONE. It is so plainly evident it's not even funny. Indoctrinating your kids is abuse!
It is still wrong to go to war with a country because we want their oil. May God forgive us. I know what imperialism, capitalism, nationalism look like.
Hate to point out the obvious, but we haven't taken their oil. In fact, they just let their first major foreign oil contract in decades and it went to...China.
Personally, I have a problem with that: they should reward our sacrifice for their freedom. But pretending we're there to "take their oil" is a joke.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
well, we were hoping oil was gonna be a nice little bonus. i had no problem with going into afghanistan, since the taliban was there. but iraq was not involved in 9/11. they lied and sent soldiers to die. i never said sadam wasn't evil, but that he didn't do 9/11. if we are going to send an all volunteer army to fight and die, they deserve better than a lie.
What war, exactly? I served, and I am still trying to figure out exactly what all the fighting is for. It is not freedom. We've conquered nature; we have access to all natural resources; we've won the so-called space race; what the hell more could we be fighting over, other than puffed up national egos? And by the way, we pay so much for gas because the VALUE of the AMERICAN DOLLAR has FALLEN! I guess it is all part of the "liberal education" I received. YeeHaa, let's go to war and get'r'done!
Well, for one thing, when this war started, the Taliban (Afghanistan) was executing young girls for the "sin" of learning how to read; and Saddam Hussein (Iraq) was using poison gas against villages that he didn't like. So yes, freedom is a pretty big part of it.
If a President of the United States were to present these words today, what would the response be? Would some rise up and rail against this attempt at "establishment of religion?"
Would they demand a prayer to the gods of Hinduism, Wicca, and Islam? To Buddha?
We in this great nation have forgotten the importance of prayer in the public square. On D-day even those who gave religion scant attention took time, were reverent, focused on, rather than themselves, those troops fighting and dying on those sandy shores for the cause of freedom, their freedom.
Why do we find that such a difficult thing to do today?
Right on! As a 21 year old of this generation I am disgusted with the wannabe hippies who would back the anti-troop rhetoric of Murtha, Durbin or Kerry and turn a total blind eye to the heroics of great people like yourself who gave us such a great land to inherit. People need to understand that peace is not the absence of war, but the ability to defend yourself. Thank you for your service.
People should also realize that not every war is World War 2, and can't be fought as such. There is no evil empire to fight this time around, no demarcation between civilian and enemy.
I would also like to point out how funny it is that Newt and company are always disparaging FDR for being "socialist," but the moment he mentions God, look out. He's one of them.
Interesting. So, you are against people finding common ground with each other even when they don't agree on everything. I would think that someone saying "ok, I don't agree with him on everything, but look this is something he and I see eye to eye on" might not bee so bad in this day and age.
I may have read history wrong, but I think before America got into the war many Americans agreed with Hitler and his anti-communist movement. We saw Communism and Russia as a bigger threat and in some way he turned out to be right.

but conservatives cant haveit both ways. either we are facists or communists. but seems to me, gwb, newt, alberto, dick and carl were truer to facism than the left ever is. jonah goldberg is a nut, along with ann coulter, jerome coursi, and the white supremacist sean hannity.
Yes you are right the left in this country saw Adolph as a visionary. They were in love with him UNTILL he attacked the Soviet Union. They admired his bold elimination of political enemies to further his socialist agenda. He was very close to joining the Soviets as allies. We are lucky his New Age fortune teller told him to attack Russia.
it is a shame that your ability of expressing yourself is limited, do to a lack of knowledge pertaining to the english language. I'm sure when you respond to this, your choice of words will hardly change. For that I pity you.
This is my last reply to you. For you know nothing of me or my thought process. For you to conjecture on my love of country because I criticized your vocabulary leaves much to be desired. My father was in WWII and my husband Korea(he is older than me, so you won't have to do the math). I stand for the National Anthem, cross my heart for the Pledge of Allegiance, and a member of the American Legion, where we keep in touch with our troops here and overseas. Hitler was twisted much like you.The end
Absolutely brilliant and marvelous prayer by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, my favorite Democratic President of America during the 20th century, unapologetic in its firm yet humble call to the Almighty Creator. Amen... thrice.
I love FDR and i am very conservative...sorry to the far right who thinks we didnt need regulations back then we did for the depression... but we dont need them now and thats what the fuckin dems want... fuck big govt
There can't be a war without a enemy and a plan! If Israel could defeat 5 nations in 6 days, why is America sill having problems after 5 YEARS? The enemy should have been anyone showing support for radical muslem leaders, the plan, kill them without regard to borders.
The Middle East would be in recovery, and gas would be .95 cents a gallon right now
Of course I would always praise the brave American souls that lost their lives in the great battle between good and evil. We owe our freedom to the Americans!!!
Christianity has been responsible for the murder of more millions in the "name of God" than any other religion in history....what hypocrisy for those who claim to be the followers of the "Prince of Peace"and the "LAMB of God"...they are NOT Christians, but the followers of the Evil One, "who was a murderer from the beginning".....
Christianity is not responsible for those who commit murder in the name of God. Individuals who commit murder are responsible themselves. Not everyone who claims to be a Christian is one. Murder is the very opposite of Christian theology, however, it the natural outcome of godless amoral philosophies such as atheism which has led to more murder in human history than all religions combined.
I agree, Stalanism, Communism, Nazism was bred from humanistic man is god type of thinking. There has been more bloodshed from these regimes than all faiths combined. Now back to the video, what a beautiful prayer.
It is clear that the Allied forces helped us to overcome the powers of evil. I might not be a political friend of Newt Gingrich but I do acknowledge that the Americans helped us to conquer the kingdom of darkness. If it had not been for the Americans, we might still be labouring under the Hakenkreuz!
i've been studying WW2 for a long time now. and if the United States didnt join the war, if Pearl Harbor nvr happened the truth is Germany would have lost. The mistakes they made in Dunkirk, Battle of Britian and starting a two front war were things that would have slowly caused the Germans to lose, not through casualities but through having exhausted their supplies of munitions, oil etc.
maybe if the british parliament and everyone else listened to Winston Churchill instead of calling him a racist we would have been able to defeat nazi Germany when it was still weak instead of waiting until 40million people had to die
Oh, join the rest of the World and cry how the US caused the World's problems,...learn the history, and if it wasn't for the US of A, the rest of the world would be speaking German right now,..you ass
I didn't say "the US of A" caused the problems I said some bussiness men from the USA were part of the problem, one of whom was your president's grandfather. I am gratful that so many people were willing to go off and fight the nazis, that means Russians, Americans, French, Canadians, Brittish, Australians etc.
personally i think it's rather significant if it's henry ford supported hitler. sure there were swedes that helped hitler, our country was neutral during the war. I just thought it was interesting that hugely important personalities like your president has a background helping the nazis will the rest of your country was at war with them.
Lets put an end to the word "neutral", Hitler did not allow "neutral". Face it, you were complicit. Your country made huge profits from the war. America was spending 160% of it's GNP to keep the allies supplied. That's before we declared war.
As far as supporters of Hitler in the US the Nazi party was rather significant in the US. I may be wrong but I think I remember a crowed of 160,000 Nazi sympathizers. As soon as it became clear they had designs on our liberty, it became difficult for them to gather safely.
So on the one hand, America had people that supported evil, and on the other, people that stood up for freedom.
Same as today, symptom of a free society, America always has enemies within especially in government.
we half heartedly support germany with resources and troop transers up til 1942 or so... of course there were a lot of sympathizers, the fact that finland was in a war with russia made it more natural i think. don't think we we made a lot of profit, i'm sure some top business men did, but our country wasn't destroyed by the war like so many others. i wasn't implying anything about americans, i was just pointing to a few important persons supporting evil and got away with it.
the only thing that kept Britain from being taken over in the dark days before 1941, when it stood alone in the face of the Nazi juggernaut, was the lend-lease act, which gave them billions of dollars worth military supplies, which they never had to pay back in full.
this was a democrat, one of histories greatest men. Republican opposed entry into the conflict until Pearl Harbor. They were of course wrong all along. Roosevelt is a demon to most in the Republican party--particularly its strom troopers in the tea party. So it is ironic that this appears on this site. Thomas McCormick

It's the people of the united states, giving prayer (their own) to the soliders at the end of each day. Let the words of prayer be on their lips at the end of the day, giving strength to the soldiers task.
I was raised Roman Catholic, and confirmed at that.

@gunzrkewl So in so far as religious tolerance, my family sees none. It is unfair though, to skew these beliefs as strictly religious, these are political views, let not the events of today skew your belief. Let not the obscurations of your beliefs lead you otherwise. We are united, and we have been since that great war, and it is Americans that reap the rewards of the planet together, not seperate.

Nice prayer FDR.. I bet those Russians and 200 or so million Christian Eastern Europeans enjoyed their freedom and liberty you spoke of in your prayer... So nice of you and Churchill to facilitate that for them... I'm sure they are much thankful to you for it.. I'm sure they enjoyed 50 years of Marxism thanks to you.. Burn in hell FDR and Churchill!

@coaltrader07 Uh...allow me to let you in on few facts. The War in Europe didn't end until May 8th, 1945. FDR died-that's DIED-on April 12, 1945. The Allies needed the Russians on the Eastern Front to push back the nazis' and stop them from getting the oilfields in Ploesti and other places east of E. Europe. Churchill voted out of office in june'45 replaced by Atlee. We still had the hell-bent suicide Japanese to surrender.Red Army parked it's savage ass in E. Europe...and stayed there!

@libralady1010 I don't dispute anything that you stated. Pretty much all facts; however, I question the reason we were ever allied with Marxist to begin with. I would have much rather preferred a Europe in which the Nationalist's ruled over. Furthermore, in America we live under a very vile and evil Jewish Apartheid.

If he had survived, Pres. Roosevelt would have been squarely for the G.I. Bill, something that helped veterans to move America forward after the war.

yes different in politics but, both were and are PATRIOTIC when it comes to America. Today's politicians who use the word "Liberal" are actually Marxists who hate the very concept of America.

Nino2666B 2 years ago
What on earth are you talking about? Today's liberals are Marxists? FDR was FAR to the left of today's liberals. Modern liberals are comfortably pro-corporate whereas liberals in FDR's day were pretty anti-corporate.
FDR launched the New Deal, Public Works Programs, the TVA, etc. Democrats today....well, they sign corporate/banker bailout deals and Clinton cut many welfare programs.
Your argument is silly. FDR and Progressives of his era were far more comfortable with social programs.

Pelosi, Reid, Obama, Biden and all those who think like them are Liberals? They are Marxists who use the words Progressive and Liberal. A Progressive is a Marxist who imposes their legislation over a long period of time.

That is right out of the Constitution of the Soviet Union..redistribution of wealth-MARXIST.

Please. They supported the War, the bailouts and they support most pro-corporate policies. Many of them have also voted in favor of gutting welfare programs.
FDR passed the New Deal (far more socialistic than anything modern Dems has passed), was an ardent union supporter, created the Fairness Doctrine, Social Security, supported national healthcare, government housing loans, etc.

In fact for that matter Republicans of the past are far to the left of modern Republicans as well.

Not only has Obama never claimed to have any Marxist professors, let alone identify with any, Obama is much more right-wing than FDR.

Obama proposes taxing the rich no more than 39% (which is 11% less than Ronald Reagan taxed them) and has cut social spending.

It is still wrong to go to war with a country because we want their oil. May God forgive us. I know what imperialism, capitalism, nationalism look like.
Tryphenia7 3 years ago 3
Hate to point out the obvious, but we haven't taken their oil. In fact, they just let their first major foreign oil contract in decades and it went to...China.
Personally, I have a problem with that: they should reward our sacrifice for their freedom. But pretending we're there to "take their oil" is a joke.

well, we were hoping oil was gonna be a nice little bonus. i had no problem with going into afghanistan, since the taliban was there. but iraq was not involved in 9/11. they lied and sent soldiers to die. i never said sadam wasn't evil, but that he didn't do 9/11. if we are going to send an all volunteer army to fight and die, they deserve better than a lie.

They fight to end conquest,
They fight to liberate,
They fight to let justice arise, and tolerance, and goodwill among all thy people.
... It's the same for all our troops, from the day when America was born.

What war, exactly? I served, and I am still trying to figure out exactly what all the fighting is for. It is not freedom. We've conquered nature; we have access to all natural resources; we've won the so-called space race; what the hell more could we be fighting over, other than puffed up national egos? And by the way, we pay so much for gas because the VALUE of the AMERICAN DOLLAR has FALLEN! I guess it is all part of the "liberal education" I received. YeeHaa, let's go to war and get'r'done!

Well, for one thing, when this war started, the Taliban (Afghanistan) was executing young girls for the "sin" of learning how to read; and Saddam Hussein (Iraq) was using poison gas against villages that he didn't like. So yes, freedom is a pretty big part of it.

If a President of the United States were to present these words today, what would the response be? Would some rise up and rail against this attempt at "establishment of religion?"
Would they demand a prayer to the gods of Hinduism, Wicca, and Islam? To Buddha?
FlooberToober 3 years ago
We in this great nation have forgotten the importance of prayer in the public square. On D-day even those who gave religion scant attention took time, were reverent, focused on, rather than themselves, those troops fighting and dying on those sandy shores for the cause of freedom, their freedom.
Why do we find that such a difficult thing to do today?
FlooberToober 3 years ago 2
Right on! As a 21 year old of this generation I am disgusted with the wannabe hippies who would back the anti-troop rhetoric of Murtha, Durbin or Kerry and turn a total blind eye to the heroics of great people like yourself who gave us such a great land to inherit. People need to understand that peace is not the absence of war, but the ability to defend yourself. Thank you for your service.

People should also realize that not every war is World War 2, and can't be fought as such. There is no evil empire to fight this time around, no demarcation between civilian and enemy.
I would also like to point out how funny it is that Newt and company are always disparaging FDR for being "socialist," but the moment he mentions God, look out. He's one of them.
PubliusAfricanus 3 years ago
Interesting. So, you are against people finding common ground with each other even when they don't agree on everything. I would think that someone saying "ok, I don't agree with him on everything, but look this is something he and I see eye to eye on" might not bee so bad in this day and age.

I may have read history wrong, but I think before America got into the war many Americans agreed with Hitler and his anti-communist movement. We saw Communism and Russia as a bigger threat and in some way he turned out to be right.

You're right. Check out the book "Liberal Fascism" by Jonah Goldberg. He covers that with great detail.

Yes you are right the left in this country saw Adolph as a visionary. They were in love with him UNTILL he attacked the Soviet Union. They admired his bold elimination of political enemies to further his socialist agenda. He was very close to joining the Soviets as allies. We are lucky his New Age fortune teller told him to attack Russia.

My father was in WWII and my husband Korea(he is older than me, so you won't have to do the math). I stand for the National Anthem, cross my heart for the Pledge of Allegiance, and a member of the American Legion, where we keep in touch with our troops here and overseas. Hitler was twisted much like you.The end

There can't be a war without a enemy and a plan! If Israel could defeat 5 nations in 6 days, why is America sill having problems after 5 YEARS? The enemy should have been anyone showing support for radical muslem leaders, the plan, kill them without regard to borders.
The Middle East would be in recovery, and gas would be .95 cents a gallon right now

Christianity has been responsible for the murder of more millions in the "name of God" than any other religion in history....what hypocrisy for those who claim to be the followers of the "Prince of Peace"and the "LAMB of God"...they are NOT Christians, but the followers of the Evil One, "who was a murderer from the beginning".....

tuborgsommer 4 years ago
Christianity is not responsible for those who commit murder in the name of God. Individuals who commit murder are responsible themselves. Not everyone who claims to be a Christian is one. Murder is the very opposite of Christian theology, however, it the natural outcome of godless amoral philosophies such as atheism which has led to more murder in human history than all religions combined.

It is clear that the Allied forces helped us to overcome the powers of evil.

If it had not been for the Americans, we might still be labouring under the Hakenkreuz!

i've been studying WW2 for a long time now. and if the United States didnt join the war, if Pearl Harbor nvr happened the truth is Germany would have lost. The mistakes they made in Dunkirk, Battle of Britian and starting a two front war were things that would have slowly caused the Germans to lose, not through casualities but through having exhausted their supplies of munitions, oil etc.

naybe if the US oil barons didn't sell oil to germany and helped build up their war machine hitler would have been an easier target.

I didn't say "the US of A" caused the problems I said some bussiness men from the USA were part of the problem, one of whom was your president's grandfather.

There were no Sweeds that helped Hitler?
If you want an American that was supported Hitler you can add Henry Ford. So what?
Every country has jerks, America has a few great men also.
James92802 3 years ago
personally i think it's rather significant if it's henry ford supported hitler. sure there were swedes that helped hitler, our country was neutral during the war. I just thought it was interesting that hugely important personalities like your president has a background helping the nazis will the rest of your country was at war with them.
truthseeker83 3 years ago
Lets put an end to the word "neutral", Hitler did not allow "neutral". Face it, you were complicit. Your country made huge profits from the war. America was spending 160% of it's GNP to keep the allies supplied. That's before we declared war.
James92802 3 years ago
As far as supporters of Hitler in the US the Nazi party was rather significant in the US. I may be wrong but I think I remember a crowed of 160,000 Nazi sympathizers. As soon as it became clear they had designs on our liberty, it became difficult for them to gather safely.
So on the one hand, America had people that supported evil, and on the other, people that stood up for freedom.
Same as today, symptom of a free society, America always has enemies within especially in government.
James92802 3 years ago
we half heartedly support germany with resources and troop transers up til 1942 or so... of course there were a lot of sympathizers, the fact that finland was in a war with russia made it more natural i think. don't think we we made a lot of profit, i'm sure some top business men did, but our country wasn't destroyed by the war like so many others. i wasn't implying anything about americans, i was just pointing to a few important persons supporting evil and got away with it.

the only thing that kept Britain from being taken over in the dark days before 1941, when it stood alone in the face of the Nazi juggernaut, was the lend-lease act, which gave them billions of dollars worth military supplies, which they never had to pay back in full.
