Jan. 30, 2012

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was born JANUARY 30, 1882, in Hyde Park, NY.

The 32nd President, he was in office longer then any other, over 12 years, serving during the Great Depression and World War II.

On October 6, 1935, FDR stated:

"We cannot read the history of our rise and development as a nation, without reckoning with the place the Bible has occupied in shaping the advances of the Republic...Where we have been the truest and most consistent in obeying its precepts, we have attained the greatest measure of contentment and prosperity."

In a Fireside Chat, March 9, 1937, FDR stated:

"I hope that you have re-read the Constitution...Like the Bible, it ought to be read again and again."

FDR stated at a Campaign event in Brooklyn, NY, Nov. 1, 1940:

"Those forces hate democracy and Christianity as two phases of the same civilization. They oppose democracy because it is Christian. They oppose Christianity because it preaches democracy."

Franklin D. Roosevelt stated in his Labor Day Address, September 1, 1941:

"Preservation of these rights is vitally important now, not only to us who enjoy them, but to the whole future of Christian civilization."

FDR said at Madison Square Garden, Oct. 28, 1940:

"We guard against the forces of anti-Christian aggression, which may attack us from without."

FDR said in a Fireside Chat, April 28, 1942:

"This great war effort must be carried through...It shall not be imperiled by the handful of noisy traitors - betrayers of America, betrayers of Christianity itself."

FDR addressed Congress regarding the Yalta Conference, March 1, 1945:

"I saw Sevastopol and Yalta! And I know that there is not room enough on earth for both German militarism and Christian decency."

FDR remarked in his State of the Union, January 6, 1942:

"The world is too small...for both Hitler and God...Nazis have now announced their plan for enforcing their...pagan religion all over the world - a plan by which the Holy Bible and the Cross of Mercy would be displaced by Mein Kampf and the swastika and the naked sword."

In a Radio Address, November 4, 1940, FDR stated:

"Democracy is the birthright of every citizen, the white and the colored; the Protestant, the Catholic, the Jew."

FDR, Justice for War Crimes, Mar. 24, 1944

"In one of the blackest crimes of all history - begun by the Nazis...the wholesale systematic murder of the Jews of Europe... Hundreds of thousands of Jews...are now threatened with annihilation as Hitler's forces descend more heavily...That these innocent people, who have already survived a decade of Hitler's fury, should perish on the very eve of triumph over the barbarism which their persecution symbolizes, would be a major tragedy."

FDR, on Refugees, June 12, 1944

"This Nation is appalled by the systematic persecution of helpless minority groups by Nazis...The fury of their insane desire to wipe out the Jewish race in Europe continues undiminished... Many Christian groups also are being murdered...Nazis are determined to complete their program of mass extermination."

FDR, Feb. 6, 1937, to Dr. S. Wise, United Palestine Appeal

"The American people... watched with sympathetic interest the effort of the Jews to renew in Palestine the ties of their ancient homeland and to reestablish Jewish culture in the place where for centuries it flourished and whence it was carried to the far corners of the world."

FDR, Feb. 6, 1937, to Dr. S. Wise, United Palestine Appeal

"Two decades have witnessed a remarkable exemplification of the vitality and vision of the Jewish pioneers in Palestine. It should be a source of pride to Jewish citizens of the United States that they, too, have had a share in this great work of revival."
