        FDR would know what to call trump and have it stick.

        Apparently none of those freedoms applied to the thousands of U.S. citizens who were forced into internment camps. #ExecutiveOrder9066

        It’s frightening we are fighting it within our own government—GOP moves the last few days with #Ryan & #Nunez & #Sessions conspiring with @realDonaldTrump to aid and abet Russian interference in our govt is terrifying #TrumpRussia #ImpeachTrumpNow

        And we didn't listen...stupid us. Repeating the same mistakes as others who have fallen. We r just one more empire who needs a shake up. We got complacent & that is no longer acceptable. I will vote in 18 4 Dems who r willing 2 change the status quo. Open our elections!!

        The current Democrats seem to have lost touch with the FDR constituency.

        Churchill knew: "History is written by the victors." Those Jews not "worthy" of any freedom? Life maybe? "Hitler didn't snub me; it was our president who snubbed me. The president didn't even send me a telegram"~J.Owens.

        Hmm...Freedoms of speech/expression and worship. Freedom from want? I'm guessing he meant food/clothing/shelter. Then there are "needs" v "wants." Freedom from fear? "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." More like Four Fantasies.
