President Roosevelt with very good intentions announced the Four Freedoms in 1941 in his State of the Union Message to Congress. It all sounded good but we have to ask ourselves if it is reasonable and just for all in society.
President Roosevelt said , we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.
The first is Freedom of Speech and Expression everywhere in the world. This implys the freedom of speech exists without responsiblity for what one says.
The world is painted with many colors many different cultural and philosophical settings. There is no such thing as one size fits all. The freedom of speech in one place does not necessarily fit in to the patterns of another place. The fact that we have ratings for adult entertainment and parental guidance in the USA proves that there is not total Freedom of Speech and Expression and someone has to make a judgement call about responsibility. If this responsibility is sorted out by the initial concept of freedom of speech by interpretations of a select group is limited from the start. If the best informed control speech and expression, we are back where we started. If the best informed lock out what they do not consider a right kind of freedom, it becomes a contradiction from the start. The key to responsiblity come from proven norms, traditions and heritages. Liberalism starts at a different place. The freedom of speech and expression are according to a vaque standard by an elitism governing its definition. There is a tendency to junk the disciplines of the past.
The second freedom sounds very good. The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way everywhere in the world. This denys the concept that there is only one way in which God wishes to be worship To leave out God and what He wants is another contradiction of worship, So, again Liberalism is selective about who fits in the definition or worship in the liberal concept of freedom.
Freedom from Want is the third freedom and sounds very good too. There is very little to challenged here but when we see liberals labeling Free Trade as a way of doing it , we see a corrupted system trying to fill this freedom with many contradictions . The people in most want are the people used to grow and make the products for those who have less of a want. In our times we witnessed subsisted living farmers losing their farms. We see farmers who need to grow poppies instead of food inorder to survive. Liberals should ask how is this all happening and be the first to experience these injustices but only few have.
The fourth freedom is freedom from fear. This comes down to limiting nations to commit an act of physical aggression against others in the world. It is obvious, that the USA is the largest manufacturer and distributor of military gear in the world. And liberals are still part of the game of war with even the best of them not knowing how to stop wars based on their understanding of what freedom is.
In trying to judge what is best and how to fit things together, liberals tend to reject the past norms, traditions and practices of history instead of abstracting the good from the bad. The Constitution of the USA is even questioned as being an adequate standard. Liberals tend to interpret the Consitution according to the temporary modes of the times and deluting its power to govern justly in a balanced form. Liberals tend to deny that the USA Consitution evolved from English law which evolved from the Magna Carta which constituted a fundamental guarantee of rights and priveleges as flowing from God to man and not man to God.
Even God is put outside looking in at the adventures of Liberalism . It is no wonder that so many milions in the world are still outside looking in at the celebration of Liberalism because God is left outside looking in too.

Who did what to who in the global economic arena. Liberals led the way in the 1990s in the betrayal of workers everywhere. A new working poor class was created and an under class was ignored. The Clintons and the Bush family acted as one.
And at our Ethics Box we continue the study of habits in terms of self-improvement.
