Well jeez, thanks for acknowledging that. I don't recall either one disbanding the congress and making himself furher for life either.
To even make a comparison of any US president to Hitler is assisine in the extreme.
I agree with that. The outcomes may have been the same loss of life and liberty, but one is deliberate and the other is not.
I could not disagree more with your assertion that "The outcomes may have been the same loss of life and liberty" between FDR or Lincoln or any other president compared to Hitler. IMO that is a ridiculous thing even to suggest.
Do you deny the loss of 620,000 men was tragic especially when it was unnecessary? I did say the comparison is ridiculous, but it is still tragic what FDR and Lincoln did.
