Ronald Reagan was not FDR.

Right - RR fought, and ultimately was the precipitating cause of the demise
of, Communism, while FDR openly harbored Communists within his
government ...

The people most respnsible for the fall of communism in Europe
are the communists themselves, though Lech Walesa sped the
process along. Calling on Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin
wall is not what made it happen.

No, but forcing them into an arms race that their economy could not sustain
DID. Even the Russians admit this. Too bad you're so blinded by your ideology
that you can't.

Do you really think tha tcommunism was sustainable and that the
leadership of the Soviet Union was effective in sustaining it?

I dunno if FDR harbored communists in his administration or not.

You just might be the only person in the US who's unaware of that.

I do know that in WWII the communists were our allies

Utter nonsense. We were fighting a common enemy. In no way were we "allies".

Hoy Crap!

and there is
no law against being a communist, nor against having communists in
one's administration,

Common sense would suggest that known enemy agents should be discharged from
the administration, rather than promoted.

Agents of which enemy, Germany, Japan, or Italy?
