M.L. King would have...

[Lumpy 1]

I disagree.

He would have supported Obamacare and probably welfare, he was a communist so I'm sure of that.

He was truely a religious man, unlike fakers like Sharpton and Jackson, so he would have not supported the rap lyrics of today.

He would rail against the deadbeat dads, and the breakdown of the family.

If that was true then why aren't Democrat and African American leaders promoting those views?

Maybe because you are not listening?
No matter who you are, no matter what your color, creed, how you choose to pray or who you choose to love, that if you are an American - first generation or fifth - one who is willing to work hard, play by the rules and apply your God-given talents - that you should be able to find a job that pays the bills.
Cory Booker

You should be able to afford health care for your family. You should be able to retire with dignity and respect. And you should be able to give your children the kind of education that allows them to dream even bigger, go even farther and accomplish even more than you could ever imagine.
Cory Booker
Our platform emphasizes that a vibrant, free and fair market is essential to economic growth.

When you create more small businesses, you create small entrepreneurship. Out of that comes self-determination and employment.

Most blacks will argue that they excel because of hard work, because of intellect, determination, sweat, blood, tears and risk.

“Praying for the family of Chris Lane,” Jackson said Wednesday on Twitter. “This senseless violence is frowned upon and the justice system must prevail.”

Jesse Jackson is a race baiting asshole, may he rot in hell..

The Rev. Jesse Jackson said in a Tuesday interview with a national news outlet that there’s no question about it — Republicans are constantly pushing the race button on all matters of policy and politics, and tea party activists are akin to redneck racist throwbacks from the Civil War era.

“The tea party is the resurrection of the Confederacy,” he said, in an interview with Politico. “It’s the Fort Sumter tea party.”

He added: The GOP is “absolutely” using race as a reason to oppose President Obama and White House police proposals.

This is just the latest in a series of notable remarks the civil-rights activist has made lately, as captured by the press.

A week ago, he posted a Twitter statement about the murder of Australian Christopher Lane, in Oklahoma on a college baseball scholarship: “This senseless violence is frowned upon.” Readers reacted in outrage, calling his choice of words — “frowned upon” — a tactless understatement. Shortly after, Mr. Jackson took to Twitter again and commented on the same murder — only referred to the victim, Mr. Lane, by an incorrect name — as Christopher Lee.

Shame the left that claims MLK's legacy as theirs, have bastardized it. NONE to this day promote his dream.

true

America’s Only Black Senator Not Invited To MLK Event Because He’s A Republican

Noticeably absent from the speaker line-up at the Let Freedom Ring event commemorating the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington today: the nation’s only black Senator, Tim Scott.

Scott, a Republican Representative appointed by S.C. Governor Nikki Haley earlier this year to fill former Sen. Jim DeMint’s seat in the U.S. Senate after he retired, was not invited to participate in the historic event, a spokesperson for the Senator confirmed to Red Alert Politics in an email.

African-American leaders who did receive an invitation to speak at included Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) – who participated in the original March – Martin Luther King III, MSNBC host Al Sharpton and movie stars Jamie Foxx, Oprah Winfrey and Forest Whitaker.

Nation?s only black Senator not invited to speak at March on Washington

I guess that you know by now, that it's a COMPLETE LIE that he wasn't invited.

Yes you did and thank you.

The quotes by Cory Booker were quite promising but I'm not that familiar with him...I'll study up.

While debates are fun, sometimes a dialogue is better and thank you for encouraging such with an open mind.

 

[Pheonixops]

Here's some quotes from our local Democrat Congressman:
Today, education is perhaps the most important function of state and local governments.
Bobby Scott

We can play politics, or we can reduce crime.
Bobby Scott

And what is needed to prevent them from joining gangs was ample recreation for boys as well as girls, jobs and internships for training and money, and assistance to allow their families to live in decent homes.
Bobby Scott

Obviously, there has to be a profound change in direction. Otherwise, interest on the national debt will start eating up virtually every penny that we have.
Bobby Scott

Studies have shown that inmate participation in education, vocational and job training, prison work skills development, drug abuse, mental health and other treatment programs, all reduce recidivism, significantly.
Bobby Scott

The destinies of the two races in this country are indissolubly linked together, and the interests of both require that the common government of all shall not permit the seeds of race hate to be planted under the sanction of law.
Bobby Scott

We can continue our progress as a Nation toward the promise that all people are created equal and that our Nation will treat every person in that spirit.
Bobby Scott

Members post for a variety of reasons, I believe many members post just to relieve some of the stress in their lives.

I have tried to start threads where agreement could be found between Democrats and Republicans...sorry, not too popular..

 

[deltex1]

Lets guess...how much total weight should the peeps at the MLK event lose to qualify for obabblecare benefits?? My estimate would be 300000 pounds?

What is your guess?

Again, not familiar...he sounds good but too small a player to make a difference, still promising though.
