"Four Freedoms"
Is Hillary trying to tell us all something important, by selecting "Four Freedoms Park?? FDR !! ... anybody remember him? Does anybody below the age of 50, even KNOW who he was??
No matter your age, your race, your location on the planet, chances are great that you are BETTER OFF, than you otherwise would be, if FDR had not led the World; the way FDR did between 1932 and 1945!
Some new, questionable, book is out, proclaiming to the ignorant, some lies to "explain" our losses at WAR, since World War II!! My Generation was aware that FDR saw no good future for a return, by Western Nations, to Colonialism!. He tried, in vain, to convince Churchill of the foolishness and costs associated with taking a Hike down that road! Whether it was Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf Wars, Reagan's ventures into Central America and the Caribbean, we failed to WIN, any of 'em!! The Middle East and Africa lie in ruins and distress today because Europe and the U.S. refuse to let Colonialism and Jim Crow to "go away"!
Everything important to our Economy, and, that of Europe; the U.N., World Bank, IMF, the National Security Reorganization of our Government ... ALL of this can be credited to the Leadership of FDR.
Thrown in Labor Unions, Social Security, and other steps he took, to get this country through the Great Depression. By Gosh!, Even RONNIE REAGAN was a Democrat, and a FAN of FDR.
This Country was led astray, when they chose to follow the Extreme Right after the Presidency of Harry Truman. The special Racial Beliefs of the Nazis were easily transplanted to the Right Wing in the United States. Racism, Colonialism, Segregation, White Supremacy, are TREASURES clung to by the likes of LBJ, Nixon, Reagan, the Bushes, and partially, by Bill Clinton. No President has served (even JC, from Georgia) who failed to bring a racial message acceptable to the Hard Right elements in our Politics. It may be true that the True Costs of this Nations deeply held Racial Beliefs runs into the Multiple $Trillions!!
Stay Vigilant! 2016 will fail to change our tragic course; if the GOP gets their way (and Hillary fails to find a message that can appeal to "both sides" of the color line.
