I think it would be fun and respectful to honor another inspiring leader for Liberty, Peace and Freedom for all, by everyone switching their avatars over for the Holiday weekend, through MLK day on Monday.


I posted several to choose from to make it easy to grab them right here.

Then use his picture for your avatar and start your own money bomb drive in honor of states rights.

Ron Paul himself said in the last debate the MLK is a hero of his for his work in Civil Rights. They both inspired a movement toward Peace, Liberty and Freedom. This is a valid similarity and the only one being recognized here as I stated.

You forgot Plagiarist (http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig/epstein9.html).

"When Boston University founded a commission to look into it, they found that that 45 percent of the first part and 21 percent of the second part of his dissertation was stolen, but they insisted that "no thought should be given to revocation of Dr. King’s doctoral degree." In addition to his dissertation many of his major speeches, such as "I Have a Dream," were plagiarized, as were many of his books and writings."

AhuwaleKaNaneHuna
01-14-2012, 10:26 PM
Wow, now I am remembering all of the MLK bashers from '08 when people wanted to do an MLK money bomb.


No human is perfect and he did a lot of good too and got assasinated for it. Ron Paul acknowledges the good he did related to our cause and I think it's pretty crappy that a few of you want to begrudge the rest of us from acknowledging it too, especially when I am tying it to a donation drive to get Ron Paul more money.


Lighten up.

Bonnieblue

I do not think that Dr. Paul is a philanderer.

I do not think that Dr. Paul is guilty of gross plagiarism.

I do not think that Dr. Paul has been trained by a Marxist cadre.

I do not think that Dr. Paul champions the welfare state.

I do not think that Dr. Paul champions the destruction of property rights of the individual over against some vague notion of "civil rights" for the collective or a group.

I do not think that Dr. Paul supports deficit spending.

I, too, am frankly taken about by this "positive" comparison of Dr. Paul to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

AhuwaleKaNaneHuna
01-14-2012, 10:38 PM
No such comparisons were made ANYWHERE. Please quote them or kindly STFU

Newsflash Bonnie Blue. This is a Ron Paul support forum. Ron Paul HIMSELF has expressed admiration for work King did with civil rights. If Ron Paul were here, he would put you in your place about showing him some respect for that related work.

This is not the Bonnie Blue Has Issues forum.

01-14-2012, 10:39 PM
Well, in the far future when people are trying to have money bombs on Ron Paul Day to support the candidates that follow in his steps there are going to be a lot of people on forums on the internet refusing to donate because of the Newsletters and the fact that his budget wasn't balanced for the first two years and for various other things.

So, fair enough.

This is not the Bonnie Blue Has Issues forum.

I am aware of what Dr. Paul has said about Dr. King. I respectfully disagree with him there as I do with several positions he has; yet, I am a passionate supporter of his. The nexus of my agenda and Dr. Paul's agenda is as follows: he wishes to end the debasement of the currency and keep the general government from stealing my money, hard earned through the three I's: Income tax, Interest on Debt, and Inflation tax driven by fiat/counterfeit money; he wishes to get us out of foreign entanglements and stop the immoral, unconstitutional, and unnecessary wars in which the empire has involved us; he wishes to reduce the authority of the general government to the delegated and enumerated powers expressed by the states in their Constitution and to allow sovereignty to rest with the states and with the people thereof; he wishes to end the imperial Presidency and be the circumspect CEO which the Constitution allows; he wants to cut the budget, pay down the debt and balance the budget in three years.

Those things constitute the common ground between Dr. Paul and me. That is why I support him; that is why I am an apologist for him and an advocate for him; that is why I have donated according to my means to his campaign; that is why I intend to vote for him if the cabalists give me a chance to.

I am not the least interested in libertarianism, Randism, or mythologizing the civil rights movement. I assure you that there are several million people who think as I do. Many of them, in fact likely most of them, have not yet been won over. If you cannot be gracious with a minority opinion on an issue, you will quite likely be unlikely to win many such people over. On your particular thread of these fora I shall not again post.

When I tried to get a copy of the posters avatar of that pic to post for people to choose from, it said it was missing something. Glad to see you picked another for now.

Are you using the edit avatar and not the edit profile?

Also, it seems if people are copying the large one a poster added with Paul and MLK, it's not working because it is sized to big I think. Avatars need to be under 100 pixels in width and length. I am going to try to resize it and add it to the option choices in the first post. In the mean time try another from the first post. Thanks.

No it wasn't, but slavery is an abomination and blight on this country's history as were the Jim Crow laws. MLK wasn't perfect, no person is, but he certainly used non-violence to bring about a change that made society better and more tolerant. If we're really libertarians we should be happy to see people who actually believed in not having people judged by group affiliation, especially when they have no control over what group they are born into.

"And don't let anybody make you think that God chose America as his divine, messianic force to be a sort of policeman of the whole world. God has a way of standing before the nations with judgment, and it seems that I can hear God saying to America, "You're too arrogant! And if you don't change your ways, I will rise up and break the backbone of your power, and I'll place it in the hands of a nation that doesn't even know my name. Be still and know that I'm God."

For all of those who are saying MLK is a communist, adulterer, or otherwise bad person, you bring up some very good points. For that, you win an Award! The idea of the thread is not to debate MLK. It is undisputed he was a champion of liberty. That is the point of the thread. The rest should be debated somewhere else.

The Civil War wasn't about slavery. Do you realize Ulysses S. Grant had slaves?

A) Those weren't his slaves. They were his wife's slaves. If people who talk about Robert E. Lee not having slaves ignore the fact that he managed his father in laws slave then folks who want to talk about Grant can't bring up relatives slaves either.

B) The southern declarations of secession make it very clear that slavery was one of the key issues they were seceding over, even though it wasn't the only issue.

C) Ron Paul himself said that the "mistake of slavery" helped lead to the civil war.

And yes I know most southerners didn't own slaves and most northerners didn't own factories. That's probably why both sides, starting with the south, had to rely on a military draft.

This STUPID FUCKING DEBATE happens EVERY FUCKING YEAR. It NEVER accomplishes anything but division!

Yes, Martin Luther King, Jr. had some serious personal flaws, womanizing and plagiarism among them...but his proven flaws do not diminish his status as a leader of nonviolent demonstrations, nor do they spoil the wisdom of his powerful words in the areas where he agreed with us. He did favor socialism, but who in his position would not, who had not been exposed to a libertarian alternative to the rising tide of corporatism? He was not a full-blown Communist himself, because he specifically feared the totalitarianism that went with it. Was he used and discarded by Communists for specific purposes? Who knows?

Now, some may even dispute his nonviolence and the general nature of his activism. I have NO IDEA whether public opinion or Alan Stang are (or were, in Stang's case) more correct about what Martin Luther King, Jr. was like...but that is BESIDE THE POINT.

News flash:
For our purposes, it doesn't matter to what degree that MLK the legend may differ from MLK the person. The historical reality of MLK the person is irrelevant to most people, and I have serious doubts that it will ever be resolved by a historian with access to balanced, non-biased information. What is actually relevant is MLK the symbol, and to most people he symbolizes peaceful resistance to hatred and tyranny. For God's sake, is it so hard to put historical debate (and an unquenchable thirst for "being right") aside to embrace such a symbol? Even if you believe he was nothing like the titan he is portrayed to be, can you not at least allow his words and legend to do some good in this world?

I actually thought the same until earlier today, but it turns out we finally have a tentative name, which likely clears Lew on that account: It was James B. Powell, and his name shall live in infamy...sort of. He's [probably] the one who wrote the most widely cited newsletter, and I'm pleasantly surprised it didn't turn out to be Lew.

I suggest that you go to primary documents themselves. Many are available on the Internet. The quote above your post was indeed a part of a speech which JFK gave in 1961:

OH! I see what you're responding to...you're responding to the question/link below the quote in my signature! That's a link to a longstanding thread, and it's long been part of my signature. :)

Anyway, back to this thread...

A) Those weren't his slaves. They were his wife's slaves.
You didn't actually say that, did you?


If people who talk about Robert E. Lee not having slaves ignore the fact that he managed his father in laws slave then folks who want to talk about Grant can't bring up relatives slaves either.

B) The southern declarations of secession make it very clear that slavery was one of the key issues they were seceding over, even though it wasn't the only issue.

C) Ron Paul himself said that the "mistake of slavery" helped lead to the civil war.

And yes I know most southerners didn't own slaves and most northerners didn't own factories. That's probably why both sides, starting with the south, had to rely on a military draft.

Slavery was an issue amongst a number of people back then. But, it was not the larger reason for the war. The South was tired of being taxed to death and had chosen to secede from the union. Lincoln would have none of that, even though it was well understood by our Founders that states could choose to secede at any time that they chose to.

LOL @ those sources. Especially Lew "I let Ron take the heat for the newsletters" Rockwell.

Lew Rockwell's name is finally cleared.

I changed my av.

And btw.... 4 years ago I made a video, for Ron Paul's MLK moneybomb. (remember that?) :) It may be controversial to some, but I wanted to pay a tribute to both MLK and Ron Paul, so.... here's the vid if anyone wants to take a look:

Stupid question: HOW can one add/change profile photo? (I tried but couldn't find! Either it's too late in the night..2.15a or I lost it!)

Not a stupid question. :)

I don't have a profile picture, but probably "Settings" (uppermost top right corner of this page) then "Edit profile picture" (Left hand side - halfway down) under "My settings"
