Is MLK A Hero of Yours?

Proof?

As for the person who questioned why I find separatism to be disgusting: Are you serious? The motives behind it are deplorable. Do people have a right to voluntarily abandon mainstream society? Yes. I also think people should have the right to free speech. Just because I support their right to say dumb things does not mean that I have to tolerate or accept their views. I feel the same way about the former group as well - unbelievable that i have to explain that

So I guess I shouldn't trust all the right things Lew Rockwell has been saying for a very long time?

Pretty much. His involvement is detrimental to the liberty movement

How so? Besides the newsletters he allegedly wrote.

That's such a hit piece.

Well... I think I was a little off, even though I disagree with you on this as well. I was thinking of secessionism, on which this once-great nation was founded.

This movement has attracted the more disgusting element of the Right: Neo-Confeds, separatists, etc.

So do you believe secession is wrong?

Please what a freaking joke, I wouldn't trust a word that comes out of the "libertarian" Reason magazine.

That man has done more for liberty than you have, he posts some good articles actually. Why don't you pinpoint an article that he wrote with his name as the author that you don't like?

I second that.

I second that.

I third that.

 

[jdmyprez_deo_vindice]

I will fourth it

He sure is a hero in my book.

No commie is a hero in my book.

Civil disobedience to free his people?

He owned black people? I thought we got rid of slavery a long time before he came around...

It's just amazing that he wound up being in a position to make such a positive difference for our country.

Like racial quotas and overseeing a huge expansion in welfare that destroyed black families.

We sure haven't seen many great leaders since then.

If you're going to nutride MLK, you might as well get on the happy-go-lucky "civil rights" bandwagon and nutride someone like Malcolm X.

The black male with glasses at the bottom left is Abner Berry, who at the time of the photo was an officer of the Communist Party USA, and an official correspondent for the CPUSA publication, The Daily Worker.

The man sitting on King's immediate right is Aubrey Williams, identified in sworn testimony as a Communist Party member, by fellow CP members.

The man on Aubrey Williams' right is Myles Horton, a notorious communist "fellow traveler" of that era.

UNCELEBRATE KING 2009

I am sure he was not perfect, but he is absolutely a hero in my book, for three main reasons:

1. Standing up against discrimination, and prejudiced collectivism.
2. Excellent example of civil disobedience against immoral government.
3. Bravery in the face of persecution and official opposition.

+1776...best post in this thread. Sure, deep down MLK was a socialist, I don't dispute that, but the monumental moves he made without relying on government intervention were incredible for the times that he lived in. And he deserves recognition for them.

No, not really.

He was not all that great.

At the bottom of the martinlutherking.org page, it says "Hosted by Stormfront," and the link brings you to the stormfront message boards

Amazing. I'd heard vague things about his death being an inside job before, but never knew all of this!

His methods may be similar to what we have to do to stop the tyranny of a world government imo.

That's exactly what I was thinking. We need someone like MLK to lead the way to freedom. He made such a large impact.

Well, since MLK was a frickin' COMMUNIST, I say no thanks.

You guys are falling for revisionist BS about MLK. He was not the hero you seem to think he was.

This guy was a total communist who was hell bent on destroying the foundation of our country. He was not some grand hero who is worthy of having his own day of recognition. What is scariest is that I was at my neighbors the other night watching the history channel special about the president. Their son who is in first grade sat and watched and had no idea who Washington, Jefferson, etc were. Yet a commercial came on that showed a split second image of King and he said "hey look, it's Dr. Martin Luther King Jr." This guy is a tool for the powers that be and many of you are buying it hook, line and sinker.
