Here's what Republicans mean when they talk about freedom.

I love what Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed in January 1944, that a “second Bill of Rights” to be added to our Constitution.

FDR’s proposed amendments included the right to a job, and the right to be paid enough to live comfortably; the right to “adequate food and clothing and recreation”; the right to start a business and run it without worrying about “unfair competition and domination by monopolies”; the right “of every family to a decent home”; the right to “adequate medical care… to achieve and enjoy good health”; the right to government-based “protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment”; and the right “to a good education.”

Roosevelt pointed out that, “All of these rights spell security.”

It's freedom for them to do what they want and slavery for every one else.

What a wonderful world that would have been. Had he lived I bet he would have accomplished it.

Excellent article.

The Republicans have no concept of freedom except the "freedom" to amass wealth, the "freedom" to use and control others, the "freedom" to tell others what to do.
