Heinlein biograp...William Patterson's Robert A. Heinlein biography details RAH's youthful work with Sinclair and EPIC (RAH actually ran for office!). <br /><br />No mention of Roosevelt's betrayal as being part of Heinlein's political evolution to John Birch Society-flirting Libertarian.<br /><br />That seems more due to reading book asserting Roosevelt essentially forced Japanese to attack Pearl HarborI, which made him hate FDR. Heinlein's first loyalty was to the Navy, his first calling, which he was ripped from forever due to his tuberculosis. Also, a strong case of nuclear jitters made him a fierce anti-communist. He dug a bomb shelter.<br /><br />Hard not to think of Sinclair as the Bernie Sanders of his day.<br /><br />Still, Roosevelt wasn't a half-bad president.Paul Chadwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01185294142750163408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290152190457552426.post-62282273647577865172015-06-19T01:39:40.243-04:002015-06-19T01:39:40.243-04:00Greg, just to let you know I've linked to you ...Greg, just to let you know I've linked to you and embedded the movie at http://seattletosanfrancisco2015.blogspot.com.au/2015/06/for-special-treat-exit-via-san-gregorio.html<br /><br />I thought it a nice point at which to wind up travel in California. <br /><br />cheers<br /><br />DennisDennis Argallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14465343834162583738noreply@blogger.com
