Where’s the new pic? The one with President Trump’s head on the Father, Elon Musk’s head on the mother, a dead twitter bird on the plate, and the screaming girls head from the inauguration on each of the children?
close...
Almost. But not quite.
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4111591/posts I found it. It’s at post 3.
Freedom from want, not freedom of want
President Franklin D. Roosevelt gave a State of the Union address to Congress, which was referred to as the “Four Freedoms” speech...Four fundamental freedoms of humanity: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want and freedom from fear.
Can you imagine ANY Democrat today extolling those four freedoms?
Roosevelt should have added a Fifth Freedom: “Freedom from Pernicious Wokeism”
As a kid, I loved the Mad magazine parody............
“Freedom from want” and “freedom from fear” are not really freedoms but low levels of wellbeing or security. The other two “freedoms” are found in the First Amendment.
I saw that pic this morning. Thought it was great.
Sacrifice (going without, voluntarily doing what is difficult) ennobles the soul, validating a life well lived.
One should not necessarily seek to elevate the relatively thin gruel of “Freedom from Want” above the virtue and habit of sacrifice.
As far as “Freedom from Fear” goes, this is a byproduct of the intellect, having carried its burden and done its work, meekly bowing to the will, allowing faith to grow, to swell, to tower over earthly concerns.
I wonder if that pretty girl knows Amber Lamps?
Old Amber Lamps. That woman, though...and the look on the face of the woman filming it!
The man in the lower right is actually Norman Rockwell. We have three sets of the original 1943 posters.

Norman Rockwell chose to paint a somber but hopeful scene in 1943: a young girl in war-torn Italy draped in the coat of a passing G.I. Through his image, he asked Americans to remember others less fortunate than themselves.
He insisted on being called an “Illustrator”— not an Artist.
