Yay, a List
- FDR plays the "golden rule" card (treat others the same way you'd like to be treated) and states that the democratic principles of U.S. domestic affairs apply to international affairs as well...more or less.
- He claims that the "justice of morality" will conquer all…which is stirring stuff.
- He provides a breakdown of what the U.S. national policy actually is:
- 1. Regardless of political affiliation (Democratic Party, Republican Party, Ibiza foam party), everyone is all in on defending the country.
- 2. Regardless of political affiliation (Democratic Party, Republican Party, puppy party), everyone supports everyone else who is fighting against the Axis powers because they are conveniently keeping the enemies engaged in battle so they can't invade the United States. This is great because it means democracy will keep on keepin' on…but just to be on the safe side, the United States is going to increase its security and military strength.
- 3. Regardless of political affiliation (Democratic Party, Republican Party, Psycho Beach Party), everyone is committed to maintaining their moral integrity and not striking a deal for peace with tyrannical forces, especially if it comes at the cost of lost freedoms for other nations.
- FDR references voting results from the most recent election to support his claim that the general consensus is a demand for defensive action in the face of danger.
