"This Republic had its beginning, and grew to its present strength, under the protection of certain inalienable political rights—among them the right of free speech, free press, free worship, trial by jury, freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures. They were our rights to life and liberty.
As our Nation has grown in size and stature, however—as our industrial economy expanded—these political rights proved inadequate to assure us equality in the pursuit of happiness.
We have come to a clear realization of the fact that true individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. "Necessitous men are not free men." People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.
In our day these economic truths have become accepted as self-evident. We have accepted, so to speak, a second Bill of Rights under which a new basis of security and prosperity can be established for all regardless of station, race, or creed.
Among these are:
The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the Nation;
The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation;
The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living;
The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad;
The right of every family to a decent home;
The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health;
The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment;
The right to a good education."
This was from a "learned man", who ran the USA. But some Historians believe he was actually America's first elected Socialist President! Take from those who have, and give to those who don't have! Does this sound familiar? This is Obama's plan, from 54 years ago! This was from Franklin D. Roosevelt's, 1944, Inaugural Address. Yes ladies and gentlemen, Obama's "change" has already been started, and some things even implemented! Is this really "change we can believe in"? We, The People of These United States, should NOT vote for a Socialist!
Yes, at a quick glance, these ALL look good! But if you are a REAL go getter, and you want more for you and your family, why bother? The Government will "give" it to you! IF you are a slacker, why try harder? Again, the Government will provide! Look! The Government wants you to HAVE "adequate" food, clothing, and recreation! So the "rich" will be taxed for the "slackers" recreation!
The right to a useful and remunerative job? What right? If you are NOT competent, why should you be hired? This is nothing but a Government SCAM to take MORE money from the "rich" company owner.
The right of every family to a decent home! Wait a minute! Why try harder? The government will "give"you a decent home! For those of you who are slackers, YOU too, will be entitled to a decent home.
The right to adequate protection...and unemployment? What? Protection from "unemployment"! What's this? Have you been trying real hard at your job{remember what that was}? Well, the "slacker" will have the job RIGHT next to you! And, he doesn't have to try at all!
And, now, the right to a "good education". Hold on a second. Don't we ALREADY have free bus rides to the free school? Why aren't there MORE people taking advantage of this? Where are the parents, who ARE responsible for their children until they are 18 years of age{with FEW exceptions}? This makes me wonder, are we already "training" the slackers?
We have had; 1. free busses to free schools for years, and 2. free money and free housing for years. These programs ALL cost money! Where will ALL of the new, necessary money come from? Taxes! It is the only way for our "benevolent" government can carry out these Socialist programs. Take from the "rich", and give to the poor!
Did you also know, there was a third party running in the elections in the 1940's? It was the "American Socialist Party", who's nominee was Norman Thomas, I believe. Right after FDR's speech, Thomas was quoted as saying something to the effect "American people will not knowingly adopt Socialism. But if you change the name to "Liberalism", they will accept every part of the Socialist program. And without knowing it, America will wake-up one morning as a Socialist Nation.
NOW, anyone who has EVER read any of my writings{moan}, you will know I DO believe there are extenuating circumstances, where we DO have to help the people who really need it! BUT it is in FAR less numbers than are being "helped" now!
By the way, what was wrong with our FIRST BILL of RIGHTS?
Another thing, did ANY of you realize there is absolutly NO mention of a GOD given right to protect ones self? They really DO mean to take away ALL firearms! Only then, can they lead us into a "One World Order"!

The 4-10 hour work weeks were during the depression! ALL employees maintained their jobs! Even the "Big Boss" cut his pay and hours, just like the lowest paid employee there! But that was at a time when business leaders REALLY cared for the workers{I know, it sounds like an oxymoron}.
McCain probably did NOT know! Not that he was "out of touch", but because when you go bankrupt, the last person on the list to call would be a Senator! "

The good ole' days, what memories they conger up! My grand-father worked for a major firearms manufacturer. He started with the company about 1920. He was there until his retirement in 1956. I remember the stories he would tell about "the Great Depression". His company employed nearly 15,000 people! Yes fifteen thousand people! During the depression, EVERYONE still worked! My g-f was the V-P in the Brass Mill. He worked 4 hours a week. The Pres. worked 10 hours per week! NO LAYOFFS!! Go figure today! "

If GW does NOT bail out those "institutions", there is a very REAL possibility of a "world wide" collapse! The real problem, as I see it, is the fact we are going to let the CEO's off with their $$Millions! They should be taken to prison, do NOT pass go, do NOT collect $$millions! Some were sent to jail after the S&L debacle! I say we take everything from them, and let they and their families get the "sensation" of worthlessness! "

Hey, were you reading my post? Worrying about what I wrote? You shouldn't be so nosy, and bothered by what I am doing! Oh well, I'm going to take the "high road", the one less travelled, because of the water level(Ha,Ha)!

In addition, as I drive around town, everyone seems even more rude than normal. People driving 55 mph from Parkview to the end of Lewis - not using their blinker, swerving in and out of traffic.
Let's take the high road. How about worrying about yourselves and quit being so nosy and bothered by what others are doing? "

You are right! This is NOT a RACE issue! I have never said on any post what my race is, NOR what gender! A few people who write on this forum know me, but that is a very few.
The welfare recipients have been getting "name brand" eye glasses, at a cost to the taxpayer. I could not afford them for my family!
It is my complaint against slackers! "

"It is no exaggeration to say that President Nixon's television message on welfare reform and revenue sharing may rank in importance with President Roosevelt's first proposal for a social security system in the mid-1930s, which were the beginning of America's now faltering welfare state." (Quote from the address)
Ok, now our system is faltering! It cannot be fixed by giving slackers more money! OR taking more money from the "rich"! If the politicians can force a tax on us, why NOT force school for welfare checks? Everyone wins! Smarter employees, Yeah! "

There are other sources that pretty much repeat this link.I am sure it was not what Nixon envisioned, but he did open up a bigger can of worms. "

No I believe it was Kennedy/Johnson{of course before the asassination} about 1964. Nixon, I think only inherited what was already voted on by the House.
If not, then it was a Dem. controlled house that "pushed" for it. Just like it was a Rep. controlled house that made the changes in the Clinton pres. of the '90's. "

I have written in other posts here, but I will write it again for the benefit if those who may NOT have read it.
FOLLOW the Constitution! That is the 2nd MOST important "book" that this Country was founded on! THE BIBLE being the FIRST!
In the Constitution, it states "Any taxes collected, will be spent only in the USA! Any money going out of the USA, will be spent on Ambassadors only"!
Why should WE be spending $hundreds of millions$ on Israel, and an equal amount each on ALL of it's neighbors? To-NOT-show-FAVORITISM To Israel ALONE! "

So the Democrats/Socialists wish to portray them as being "money hungry", "not caring about the poor", "pushing for their own agenda", etc...
When in actuality, it is THEY, the "rich" who ARE employing the VAST majority of the American workers! So, if the Rich/Republicans are attacked, those "less than stellar scholars", and the poor, by sharing a common interest, WILL follow the Democrats!
"Take from the rich, and give to the poor"!
Through more taxes, how long can the "rich business owner" last, before he has NO MORE? AND, on the way, how-many-"poor"-will-lose-their-jobs? "
Southern Fried Brain wrote on Sep 6, 2008 10:02 AM:
The Republicans {AKA, Geo.Bush}, only APPEAR to be looking out for the rich! But, on a closer examination, let's check this out. How many "poor" people do you know, 1. own a business; 2. that employs more than 15 people?
Smart people either work for themselves, or IN "big business". People who were "less than stellar students", work FOR big business! With VERY few exceptions!
You see, it is the "smart", "rich", people who can start and run a business. Either on their own "brain" power, or by HIRING the right person to run it!... "

If it ONLY happened in the past 8 years, give SPECIFIC data! NOT a generalized time frame.
Remember, it was a Repubilkkkan* senate/congress that pushed for reforms in welfare! Clinton HAD to sign it, the Amerikkkan* people would have it NO other way
*{if you choose to believe the Obamassiah's Rev.Wright[WRONG]}
You say you do NOT support Socialism, BUT look at what the Obamassiah IS trying to foist upon the AMERICAN people! SOCIALISM! "

Every school, business, "gathering place" WILL have a {DEM} party-man on site! They will be there to "enforce" the {Dem} party line. Just like in "Mother Russia"! Look at them{COMBLOC countries} for the Dem's "quality of life" PLAN!! "

I do NOT "believe everything is equal". There are people who have FAR, FAR more than I, but I am NOT envious/jealous of them. They have what they worked for. That's great for THEM! More power to them! If I worked harder, at the FREE school, maybe I would "have far, far more"! MY fault for NOT trying harder! NOT the one who has worked for it! Of ALL of the professional people I know, NOT one of them quit school! Doctors, lawyers, engineers, educators, etc, nope, NOT one quit school. "

BUT why should I be FORCED into adopting another "family", who may NOT have tried at ALL! I live a comfortable lifestyle. I have studied and worked HARD for what I have. Just to have a politician "make" a law to take half OR more away? I don't believe that is what the Founding Fathers wanted for OUR country! ... "
