Finally, For Real
- FDR dips back into America's history to contrast its moral goodness with the atrocities of the Axis powers, specifically those of Nazi Germany.
- He cites the concentration camps and alludes to mass graves to make his point. Yikes.
- He reiterates the civilized character of the future moral society he's promoting with the Four Freedoms, and he implies that the Axis powers are uncivilized. (Dang right.)
- The future of America is entrusted to its righteous free people and to God.
- Freedom is broadly defined as "the supremacy of human rights everywhere."
- FDR addresses those nations under duress from the Axis powers and pledges America's help.
- He confirms America's unity, determination, and strength and expresses his confidence in America's necessary victory.
- There. Tell us you're not feeling super patriotic right about now.
