Make Mine Freedom (1948)



Its strange how we think that the ideals and policies that our leaders tout are new and bold.  This video is from 1948.  This is not some right wing propoganda thought up by Reagan and Bush.  It doesnt stem from Cheney or Halliburton.  It's this belief that 'fair' and social justice means that everyone plays by the same rules and no one gets hurt and that the few with the most must give up what they have and be force to give to the majority with the little.  there is a quote from this 60 something year old cartoon that sums up what is going on today:
   "When anybody preaches disunity, tries to pit one of us against the other through class warfare, race hatred, or religious intolerance, you know that person seeks to rob us of our freedom and destroy our very lives.  Working together to produce an ever greater abundance of material and spiritual values for all; that is the secret of american prosperity!"

-AMEN TO THAT!
