livendive 8 #6 September 25, 2012 QuoteMore evidence of where this man came from and where he wants our country to go. Think about this, he never attended a Fourth of July Celebration with his dad as a kid. It sounds like a pretty good place, you know the whole "common ground", "good for all", "take responsibility for our own futures" thing. And what are you suggesting he missed out on by not attending such celebrations with his father? Neither did I, yet I still served, and celebrate them today, and it's pretty clear that Obama has put in a significant amount of effort over the last couple of decades to help his community, his state, and his country. Whether or not it's the kind of help you personally want is irrelevant. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From what I have heard it is accurate and factual.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

tkhayes 348 #8 September 25, 2012 you don't think that the USA should have a common ground that is good for all people? I thought that was the basis of the Constitution and everything that we stood for. He advocates voting rights and employment equality....wow, how 'weird'. If MLK was sitting in that chair and said the same things, he'd be called a fucking hero, but because the 'other n----r' is sitting in the chair, he's a commie socialist.... Every right winger's hero Ronald Reagan actually opposed the voting rights act and the civil rights act.....now THERE's a hero to American equality and rights..... just calling it the way I see it.....

billvon 3,111 #9 September 25, 2012 >If MLK was sitting in that chair and said the same things, he'd be called a fucking hero . . . No, he wouldn't, not if we're talking about the right wing during MLK's life. We heard many of the same things - he was a communist, he wanted to put everyone on welfare, he was dishonest etc etc. (See attached.) J Edgar Hoover, a famous McCarthyite, called MLK "the most notorious liar in the country." From an article in the National Review, a famous conservative magazine: ========== For years now, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King and his associates have been deliberately undermining the foundations of internal order in this country. With their rabble-rousing demagoguery, they have been cracking the “cake of custom” that holds us together. With their doctrine of “civil disobedience,” they have been teaching hundreds of thousands of Negroes — particularly the adolescents and the children — that it is perfectly alright to break the law and defy constituted authority if you are a Negro-with-a-grievance; in protest against injustice. And they have done more than talk. They have on occasion after occasion, in almost every part of the country, called out their mobs on the streets, promoted “school strikes,” sit-ins, lie-ins, in explicit violation of the law and in explicit defiance of the public authority. They have taught anarchy and chaos by word and deed — and, no doubt, with the best of intentions — and they have found apt pupils everywhere, with intentions not of the best. Sow the wind, and reap the whirlwind. ========= Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tkhayes 348 #10 September 25, 2012 well in that case, we are 40 years after MLK and he IS a hero, so there is hope - BHO in 40 years will likely be a hero too.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think Obama will accomplish anything like what MLK did. What are you talking about? The man has a NOBEL PRIZE! Of course, Hitchens noted that giving Obama the Nobel was rather like giving someone an Oscar in the hope that it would motivate him to make a good motion picture...
