Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"We Americans realize how tenuous would be the existence of our party system, our freedom of elections, our freedom of living, if the doctrines of dictatorship were to prevail."

"Ours is the responsibility of defending these principles which have come to us as our national heritage."

"The dictators cannot seem to realize that here in America our people can maintain two parties, and at the same time maintain an inviolate and indivisible Nation."

"All of the great freedoms which form the basis of our American democracy are part and parcel of that concept of free elections."
