The Toledo Blade's lead editorial on Sunday, October 12, is a seeming plea to institute in America a chief communist principle: the "right" to a job. As anyone with even a rudimentary understanding of the Constitution knows, of course, there is no such "right." Nor should there be. But this hasn't stopped the Toledo Blade from pushing this anti-American notion and pleading for Barack Obama to take it up anyway.
Basing its article on the failed ides of FDR, our most socialist president, The Blade revisits Roosevelt's showy, populist idea of creating a "second Bill of Rights" giving Americans a "right" to a job. The Blade calls FDR a "forward-looking president" and extols the unAmerican specifics of his plan as a solution for today's problems, even making it seem as if U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) is calling for the revival of this onerous new "Bill of Rights."
Nearly 65 years ago, a forward-looking President Franklin Delano Roosevelt— searching for recovery of the economy and looking toward the end of a global war on two fronts — presented to the country his idea of a second Bill of Rights dictating the right of all Americans to have jobs, adequate medical care, food, shelter, and education.
The only thing Franklin D. Roosevelt was looking "forward" to was votes. Roosevelt was not a learned man, nor one of great intellect, but he was a genius on getting votes (his failed bid for VP in 1920 aside). Even his Social Security plan -- an idea originally invented in socialist Germany in 1881 -- was nothing but a grab for votes, as he readily admitted. Roosevelt once said his Social Security plan was "never a problem of economics. They were politics all the way through."...

This kind of crap is starting to get to the raw nerve of any American who still believes in America.
Geesh.
Treason and traitorous.
Rotsa ruck with that whole communism thing. Flyover country won’t go for it.
"In 2007 Blade photojournalist Allan Detrich left the Blade when it was discovered that he had digitally altered a photo that was published on the front page of the March 31, 2007 edition. A subsequent investigation revealed that he had digitally altered and submitted 79 photos during the first 14 weeks of 2007, 58 of which ran either in the Blade or on its website.
The Toledo Blade is a piece of crap newspaper...just ignore it.
Did the Blade also plead for salt to taste salty and sugar to be sweet?
When you take over the education system and stop teaching founding principles, it’s easy to get this kind of idea to take hold.
Our Fore Fathers used to execute traitors of all kinds.(Journalists included) For threatening the security of their nation.
If they conspired against their country, or collaborated with enemy countries in any way, they died at dawn by firing squad.
They didn’t have much of a traitor problem in those days did they.
Obama has already publicly declared that you have a “right” to medical care. I have no doubt that he will also discover that you have a “right” to a food, shelter,child care, and transportation.
If Obama isn’t the Antichrist, then he is auditioning for the job by attempting to create a blame-free, anything goes, no consequences heaven on earth.
“Rotsa ruck with that whole communism thing. Flyover country won’t go for it.”

They won’t go for it by that name but there is an ever growing percentage in this country who WILL go for it if it is called Democracy.
He knew zip about history, didn’t care about philosophy, had no interest in the Constitution. One can be TRAINED in something (even the law) and not be a “learned” man or a man of great “intellect.”
F-That! * If Obama even tries it I am going in open rebellion against his traitorous government..
Obviously you don’t. Could be you lack the “intellect” to do so?
I keep reading exhortations and hearing exhortations on the radio to “rediscover our roots” and to “take back your country.”
But the fact is that NO conservative organizations exist to counter the on-the-ground organizations like ACORN, La Raza, and the other Democrat Brownshirt groups.
Barney Frank just put through a new tax: EVERY MORTGAGE agreement now includes a 4.2% tax on the amount of the loan—and that 4.2% goes to ACORN, La Raza, etc. So, if you borrow $100K, you are making a $420 contribution to ACORN, La Raza, and other Communist organizations.
John McCain stills longs to be loved by Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Tom Brokaw, Charlie Gibson. He is throwing the election.
John McCain is finishing his career as an American Hero by handing his country over to Communists and terrorists. His neurotic need for flattery and self-flattery is more important to him than handing 300 million Americans into slavery.
Hey, don’t get all mad at ME because you are a fan of the socialist FDR!
