By todays standard, I think FDR was a conservative. He would not have recognized todays liberal left. Therefore if todays liberals had run the country in those years, I believe we would have tried to negotiate (buy off) the Germans and try to understand what we did wrong to anger the Japanese.

Don't make me laugh, the biggest liberal during WII was FDR. The New Deal was definitely not a Conservative platform. FDR's democratic party was in control. The attack on Pearl brought a united front. The isolationists of the time were Republican....of course everything changed on 12/7/41.

God you are an idiot. Are you totally ignorant of your own history?
The liberals were in charge. Have you ever heard of Franklin D. Roosevelt. To conservatives he was the very devil. Only worse. Conservatives like Henry Ford and Lindbergh were ardent Nazi sympathizers, determined to keep America out of the war. Other conservatives were dedicated to keeping us out of the war. Have you ever heard of isolationism? Even as our ships were being sunk by Nazi u-boatsm isolationists continued to oppose any help to Britain. Roosevelt had to take secret steps to prepare the nation for war. The idea of helping the British to save western civilization was a strictly liberal notion. I just cannot fathom how ignorant you are to make such a statement. You defy imagination.

And here I had always been told that Roosevelt was a liberal? How could thousands of historians make that mistake? A real scandal.
LOL

The liberals *were* in charge during WWII.
The conservatives were the isolationists; those who weren't were among those who would have cheerfully joined the Axis if they could have.

Exactly the same, since FDR was a Democrat.

The man we must blame for the social welfare state we live in today was a liberal and he was President during most of WW2. However he was a different kind of liberal that understood that we have to defend our freedom. Today's liberals don't believe in that.
