'''John Thomas Flynn''' (October 25, 1882, Bladensburg, Maryland – April 13, 1964) was an [[United States|American]] [[journalist]] best known for his opposition during the late 1930s and 1940s to President [[Franklin D. Roosevelt|Franklin Roosevelt]] and to American entry into [[World War II]]. He authored the book ''[[The Roosevelt Myth]]''. During the [[Great Depression]] he was originally a supporter of Roosevelt who became disillusioned and began criticizing the [[New Deal]] as [[socialism|socialistic]]. Flynn would say in response that it was not his views that had changed and he remained a liberal, but that the popular meaning of liberal had changed. His brand of liberalism is often today called [[classical liberal]] and part of the [[Old Right]]. | '''John Thomas Flynn''' (October 25, 1882, Bladensburg, Maryland – April 13, 1964) was an [[United States|American]] [[journalist]] best known for his opposition during the late 1930s and 1940s to President [[Franklin D.
