One of the issues I have with so many of the self-designated
"conservatives" around here is that they trash-mouth a lot of people who
have made great sacrifices for their country. Even if one doesn't think
much of JFK, he *did* stand behind his beliefs, fought for the good of
the whole country, and that deserves some respect.

As for exaggerating Dr. Martin Luther King's plagiarism, I guess that is
for those who think J.Edgar Hoover was a better American than MLK. In
the end, bigotry and racism is what it comes down to. Is that a
"conservative" principle?


Don't tell me about these peoples faults and weaknesses, we all have faults.
I'm very thankfull for what legacy they leave behind.

Well said.

Exaggerate? Hardly. I barely scratched the surface. Perhaps you are not
aware of the extent of the good Doctor's cheating? You are welcome to
study it in your own time at your leisure.

I never said anything about J. Edgar Hoover. And here we go with the race
card thingie. Why is it that the race card has to always be played when
it comes to any criticism of somebody of color? I would feel the same
way about a Anglo Dr. Martin Luther King.

Is that a
"conservative" principle?

I don't know. Since you know so much. Tell us yourself.

We all have faults granted. But not all of us are prostitute-loving,
womanizing, women-beating communists that cheat our way through college
now are we?

Well said.

Thank-you

Of course not. You aren't smart enough to make the connection.

Why is that bigots & racists always complain about "playing the race
card" when somebody points out that they are bigoted & racist?


We all have faults granted.

And you have far more than most.

You're black, aren't you?

Wonder how I know? You play the race card. That makes you a racist.

Perhaps, but you skipped right over the post with the meat and went for the
easier pickings. That says something about your character.

MLK did enough good, that I'd rent him a hooker if he asked me.

At least he has enough character to not make wild allegations about
people without some factual material to back it up. And that is a lot
more than can be said about you.
