More Lying Republican Revisionism- Santorum Style
Rick Santorum today:
Why, you lying dick? The real reason was this: Roosevelt spent years doing everything he could to support the British and other enemies of the Nazis (for one example, check out the lend-lease act ,) but he was obstructed every step of the way by the Republican party, which did everything it could to prevent any American action against Nazi Germany. That's the truth, buster. Try it some time.
Do I even need to tell you that the whole reason that Santorum told this lie today is so he could compare Obama to Hitler? And yet scum like this are presented by the Washington pundits as fully qualified to replace Obama in the White House. What a world.
"And America sat from 1940 when France fell to December of '41 and did almost nothing," he explained. "Why? Because we're a hopeful people. We think, 'You know it will get better."

Thanks for posting this. It has been added to my growing folder of "Republicans suck at history" bookmarks.
Republicans don't suck at history, they just replace facts by stuff they feel would better suit their own needs. And then they go and cut education, to make sure that people don't learn about history.
It's sad your Republican presidential candidate does not know this but Canadians and British know it and thank you.

My step-father, a draftee, was on a troopship to re-enforce the Philippines American run army.
An uncle was in the American occupation of Iceland when Denmark was overrun and was still in Iceland.
Another uncle, civilian, was in China working as The Flying Tigers chief diesel mechanic.
None of them felt like Roosevelt was doing nothing.
Your comment about World War I and its effect on peoples' willingness to get into another war is a very important one, and one which is too often neglected when people consider the actions of England, France and other countries in the years before World War I. These people had just seen an entire generation destroyed and they were deathly afraid of more war.
Interestingly,the same was largely true in Germany too. In contrast to reports of mass enthusiasm bordering on hysteria in Germany at the outbreak of World War I, we have the eyewitness testimony of William Shirer and others of the deep depression and foreboding they witnessed in Germany at the beginning of World War II.
Anonymous, that's just pathetic.
