<<<But the ideas behind his policies and statements can reasonably inspire fear to the extent that anyone takes them seriously.

It distorts the use of "rights" to mean something that would decrease liberty rather than increase it.

The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the Nation;

The right to a job? You mean I don't have to have skills or abilities that people find useful, and I don't have to work hard either right? After all I have a right to a job.>>>

Your logic is deeply flawed. It is useless to go over all of it. Let me begin by reminding you that you are talking about Franklin D. Roosevelt and not Hugo Chavez or even George W. Bush.

FDR was educated at Groton, Harvard, and Columbia Law School. He practised law in NY before going into politics.

He was elected to the NY senate and appointed Assistent Secretary of the Navy. After that he was twice elect governor of NY and four times President of the United States.

He took us out of a great depression and led the war against Facism and won. During his time as President, the US became the pre-eminent world power.

When he proposed that you have a right to a job, do you really think he meant that you had a right to a job as brain surgeon when you are not qualified? You go on and on with this absurd type criticism. It is not worthwhile responding.
