Socialism, Communism....why must we Americans use those two words so interchangeably with totalitarianism? I don't any American REALLY understands socialism. Thanks McCarthy....
Ross Perot said it best when he explained the Constitution would PROBABLY have been EXTREMELY different [even mirroring Socialism to an extent] if it had been drafted AFTER the Industrial Revolution.
My father, a WWII vet and still alive today, is thoroughly disgusted and saddened at what's going on in this country now. He fought to make a better world for everyone and now has to watch the current insanity of the Republicans who would turn this nation into a theocracy, one that won't help anyone who doesn't believe the way they do. We need a new FDR, along with a congress who will help the country grow and better itself rather than be bought and paid for by the wealthy, as they are now.
greenghost2008, Where did you get your revisionist viewpoints? My WWII grandparents loved FDR. He gave them hope in the darkest days of American history. People who bash FDR didn't live back then, so they speak from what they hear from the Republican Party.
Chewbaca1989, you and I know it is no theory. It is only a conspiracy!
The NWO crowd is on the move, and Jesus will soon return to destroy them!
"For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming." (2 Thess 2:7-8)
To all of those who wish to educate the supporters of FDR's "dream" about the reality of rights, do not waste your time. A wall will not budge no matter how many times you bang your head against it.
Rest assured, the day is coming where reality itself will teach them the hard way. Let them face it with no excuses, no claims of "I didn't know!" Only then will they learn the truth.
It's FINALLY time for this second or "Economic Bill of Rights"!! Thanks to Michael Moore for finding the video that goes with this speech (In "Capitalism-A Love Story)!!
Who pays for it ? People who 'think we can spend trillions of dollars more than we have, without ever having to worry about paying it back' are not so smart themselves. Socialism is great until you run out of other people's money. Look at how indebt Medcare is... How can we afford that for the whole country? Obama says by cutting waste and increasing efficiency... Two things I really doubt washington is good at. And really, what do you accomplish by using the F word?
jjcarlso- Why is it we can spend trillions of "other peoples' money" bailing out big banks and corporations and starting wars based upon lies yet we have 47-50 million people without healthcare?? As for Medicare, maybe it wouldn't be "indebt" if hospitals and healthcare products providers would stop bilking billions from it. My friend is disabled and on Medicare. He had to have a pacemaker put in. The hospital charged Medicare $60,000 just for the pacemaker. Notice I didn't use the "F word."
jjcarlso- I would also say that if you are against "spending other peoples' money" that you promptly refuse both Social Security and Medicare when you are eligible for both. After all, by accepting the money and medical care you'd be doing exactly what you say your opposed to.
You are assuming I was for the Bailouts, which is a bad assumption. I'm for a limited/constitutional sized government. One that doesn't overreach its powers drawn out in the constitution. I'm against trillion of dollars to fund the welfare and warfare state. Why do you think liberty and freedom are bad? Furthermore, government/Fed caused alot of these problems you are pointing too, so don't put me in that category. I'm not a republican! or a democrat!
jjcarlso- I'm not a Republican or a Democrat either and for you to assume I think freedom and liberty are bad is very incorrect. I didn't put you in any category and you never said why you assumed all people in need are "lazy."
Holy shit, people who say "welfare=free ride" are fucking stupid and have never lived on welfare. You dicks act like you just show up and they give you a cartoon sack with dollar signs on them.
chewbaca1989- The Great Depression was caused by an unregulated stock market where most everyone was buying on credit rather than what they could afford. FDR's New Deal began to bring the country out of economic ruin and only when he began listening to conservatives and pulling back around 1937 on spending did the the economy start to worsen again. Hoover- elected once. FDR elected 4 times. Your historical revisionism is comical. Perhaps you could help the Bush team polish his rotten legacy.
Hey, we had a steeper recession in 1921, way before Hoover. You don't hear about it in the history books because it doesn't jive with the trusted and all knowing Federal Reserbes policies. Hoover did try to do something, like Bush had at the end. Obama is the new FDR. Current events form future trends.
And your right about Bush, he's just as rotten as Hoover, that led to FDR.
Who abolished Glass Stiegal, and signed on to NAFTA, it wasn't Bush.
chewbaca1989- Good ol Warren G. Harding, yet another Republican, was president in 1921. NAFTA originally was hatched during Reagan, fostered by Bush 41, and signed into law by a very misguided Clinton.
Me a WWE fan? Nope. I prefer historical documentaries and reading.
Did you Vote on NAFTA? I didn't. Sol people voted for Clinton, yet he initiates NAFTA? Rhodes scholar Bill Clinton, was not misguided. Rhodes a vociferous advocate that the British Empire and the United States of America should jointly impose a federal world government. Misguided Clinton?
Look up Tragedy and Hope, written by Carol Quigly a man admired and gushed over by Clinton. WWE, that's the show put on by the Reps and the Dems, that's what Clinton studied.
chewbaca1989- Clinton misguided- as to what NAFTA has done to the US industrial base. After all, why pay an American a decent wage and benefits when for just cents on the dollar will get you child laborers in other countries to make the same products. As for the Rhodes stuff, I'm not a conspiracy theorist. The Brit Empire & US domination is a page right out of the LaRouche political playbook.
Clinton is a conspirator, I don't know how you can defend the guy. Jeez, there are organizations in D.C. who's stated goal is overturning the Constitution. I can't make it up, can I?
I don't understand how people think that if it's not talked about in the evening news it must be a conspiracy.
Well, I'm as much as a conspiracy theorist and JFK.
Over 400 thousand Americans died on the battlefield for these rights, which we all benefited until recently. The roaring1920's led to the "Great Depression." The roaring 1990's and part of this decade led to this "Great Recession." History has repeated itself. My WWII grandfathers would be rolling over in their graves to see what's going on now. This has nothing to do with "socialism" or "communism." It's called "freedom!!!"
@TomOzzy123 you said it all... My grandfathers both were in WWII and would be pissed off at how things are today. We will never succeed as a country unless we learn from our past.
@TomOzzy123 none has teh freedom to violate others freedom as FDR wanted. government is what caused and what made teh great depression worst with it's cheap credit, cartelizations, capital destruction, increasing money supply, imperalis wars,etc. read how capitalism saved american or meltdown
Check that try 4 terms and oh hey Chewy fuck off ass hole, you were are on the way out dipshit. this country is going back to where we always should have been! Long time coming and we are ready, if you aren't too bad, we will drag you with us!
Here's the president who lead the country during "the greatest generation's" war; a war that kept the world from being swallowed by Nazism. Here's a president that was elected to three terms by the American people. Here's a president who led the country out of economic depression. And you are trying to smear him 65 years later? Unbelievable.
Just because I believe people should have to work for what they want, that makes me dumb? A right to provide for your family...yes..., but a free ride for the lazy...not a chance.
the rights he is talking about in this system such as healthcare, housing and a job are needful things in a capitalist system, without which your livelihood (that is, your life) is at stake. therefore, they are practically an extension of the right to life, because if you cannot have access to the things (such as during a depression etc.) which will keep you alive, then the supposed right is obviated - so yeah just trivialise it ok free ride hrrmmm yase blooaarrraaagghahsdfha
jjcarlso- What about all the people in this country who HAVE worked hard all of their lives only to see their pensions and/or 401k's vanish overnight? Or have to sell their homes and move in with their kids because exhorbitant medical bills? Where's the American Dream for them?? And why do you assume that all people in need are "lazy"? You tend to oversimplfy everything and continually parrot talking points from the right. Maybe that is why you are getting the "D word" from others.
We need another president like FDR. So badly!

Conspiracy theorist, hmm, I'd say I'm about as much a conspiracy theorist as JFK.
Free Markets, hmm, let me think.
Ok, you are under the presumption, I can understand why, that America has been operating in a Free Market system. It has not.
Human rights, you don't have the right to take from one person and give it to another.
You have a right of free association, so all you Libs get together and make your perceived rights work, like health care.
You can do it, without coercion.
