Why didn’t the GOP fix the the border problem when y’all had control of the WH, Senate, and Congress in 2017?the border is a joke. I listed problems with it and another threw out the race card. It was my own humor which I find a lot in this forum

Ok, it was still a non-sequitur with respect to the conversation we were having. And good on you for ignoring the subject of our conversation altogether now that you've been shown to have been misrepresenting (purposefully or otherwise) what you had said.the border is a joke.

I know not of who you speak. I personally see homosexual behavior as abnormal...a personal flaw as we all have in different things. What was his or her policies for others? BTW I have a nephew that is a homosexual. He probably has a conservative lean after living in San Francisco. He is now in Mexico. He knows I don't approve, but he also knows I would be there to help him in times of need. You can disapprove of personal behavior and not compromise your beliefs. MLK's love life was a personal flaw, but his dream wasn'tYou right wingers were sure fine with that law breaking homosexual congressman from NYC that the GOP failed to get rid of.
it was not misrepresenting as much as an error on a phone I made. It's okay. The joke on the border was in reference to Purdue95grad using the race card when I talked about the border ...which by the way was discussed as Muslims having 10 times the birth rate in England recently. I'm going to leave for a while as I need to take a shower after being on this forum off and on for a while...Ok, it was still a non-sequitur with respect to the conversation we were having.

Why did the Democrats mess up the border so badly when Biden took office?Why didn’t the GOP fix the the border problem when y’all had control of the WH, Senate, and Congress in 2017?
According to BNI, if you're white and like a black person, it's because that black person is a grifter and promotes white supremacy.You mean...I cannot like Kamala and yet like Thomas Sowell? Does that work for white people too? Can I dislike Waltz and like JD Vance? You may be on to something? Maybe someone should call "rent a riot" Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson or is that a wasted effort since it would severely cut their pay check.
Because using any more than a single quote would be extremely confusing for lefty libs like yourself.Why
Why do Republicans only know one MLK quote? And why do they use that single quote to pretend like they would support a person that they would clearly identify as a "radical leftist" were he here today and advocating the same positions and policies he did in the 1960s?
Are you gay?In a post AFTER your "homosexuality is not my thing" statement and also wasn't about the percentage of homosexuals, but rather the percentage of people who are "completely fine" with homosexuality. That I agree with, too. Liberals are more likely to not GAF about someone being gay whereas conservatives are more likely to think there's something wrong with it.
I can't decide if you're lying about what you said or if you just can't understand your own statements and/or the space-time continuum.
So, are you saying that a person's skin color should be taken into consideration for things like employment, school admission, etc?It's the quote most remembered because it sounds good as an ideal and is something that everyone except explicit racists can agree on, so it's a good unifying sentiment. It's also often the only quote from him that gets presented in public discourse. It's for sure the only quote I ever was taught in school. It completely ignores what he thought should happen to bring us to that ideal. Hint: some of them are the very things that Republicans dismiss by using the content of character quote to argue that Dr. King would not support those things. An image has been created of King that doesn't match reality, and it's that image that Republicans use to pretend that they are in line with King's positions.
You mean Anthony Weiner? He wasn't GOP. He was a dem sending dick pix to young girls.You right wingers were sure fine with that law breaking homosexual congressman from NYC that the GOP failed to get rid of.
There would be a lot of dems that loved the country back then that would side with Trump today. My deceased brother-in-law would be one...as would my father.Because using any more than a single quote would be extremely confusing for lefty libs like yourself.
That quote, while lefty libs and dems hate it, is pretty powerful. Too bad lefty libs don't understand it.
MLK would likely be a Republican today.
I never said such a thing and you know it. Don’t misquote me again like that.Otherwise, no white person is an allowed to like a black person....Again, according to BNI.
Unless you can justify that his views would have changed, that's quite laughable.MLK would likely be a Republican today.
This is how misinformed you are. MLK, Medger Evers as well as most blacks in those days were Republican. Perhaps today MLK would still be Republican. I know for sure he wouldn’t vote for Chump or any of the MAGA repubs.Because using any more than a single quote would be extremely confusing for lefty libs like yourself.

Oh...so now you don't like skin color being the determining factor?I never said such a thing and you know it. Don’t misquote me again like that.
He'd probably be a helluva VP candidate with Trump.This is how misinformed you are. MLK, Medger Evers as well as most blacks in those days were Republican. Perhaps today MLK would still be Republican. I know for sure he wouldn’t vote for Chump or any of the MAGA repubs.
Yes, because we know how much Trump likes to surround himself with people who disagree with him.He'd probably be a helluva VP candidate with Trump.
No it isn't. You have no idea what you're talking about. Clearly.Yea she does. That’s the whole point of DEI and affirmative action. DEI/affirmative action ensures that she will get in.
Wrong. Racism has always existed for all races. Where's the AA and DEI for Jews, Irishman, Japanese, Indians, etc?If racism never existed there would never be a reason for affirmative action and now DEI.
The problem is that liberals are "into" abortion but don't religiously practice it. If they did, liberals would fade from existence.If liberals are homosexuals, how are there so many liberals? Especially since you're probably also thinking that liberals are into abortion and conservatives are not.
I guess there's a lot of liberal homosexual adopting of the babies given up by conservatives? Why can't all of those baby making conservatives keep their babies?
Wait... so the conclusion is that liberals legalize abortion knowing that conservatives will be the ones who take advantage of it and have fewer babies?The problem is that liberals are "into" abortion but don't religiously practice it. If they did, liberals would fade from existence.
Don't be silly, JM. You know that the real 3D chess is played by libs who support Planned Parenthood's racist assault on the hood.Wait... so the conclusion is that liberals legalize abortion knowing that conservatives will be the ones who take advantage of it and have fewer babies?
Now that's a 3D chess political strategy.
If a person were to actually have open eyes in companies, schools and such they "could" notice the DEI means black, not Hispanic, Indian or Asian. If a group were upset about Asians doing too well and not getting into Harvard so an inferior minority student could go around the Asian minority student it appeared it was noticed by whites as unfair. Racism as you correctly stated can be found everywhere and might have died out without race hustlers making a living growing racism or democrats pitting one group against another in their Intersectionality platform to divide peopleWrong. Racism has always existed for all races. Where's the AA and DEI for Jews, Irishman, Japanese, Indians, etc?
Yep deliberately set up to kill black babiesDon't be silly, JM. You know that the real 3D chess is played by libs who support Planned Parenthood's racist assault on the hood.

I think it also takes some indoctrination from less substantive outlets like the media and some in education particularly. Those softer courses where things are subjective and students are immersed into favored ideology without the requisite background to discriminate properly with discernment are fertile grounds. What student doesn't want to believe what they hear from a teacher and so questioning possibly discouraged by herd mentality takes effect.The problem is that liberals are "into" abortion but don't religiously practice it.

He sounds like a Fascist here.Unless you can justify that his views would have changed, that's quite laughable.
King supported lower military funding and greater spending on social programs:
“A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.”
King referred to capitalism as "evil" and supported redistribution of wealth:
“The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and racism. The problems of racial injustice and economic injustice cannot be solved without a radical redistribution of political and economic power."
He also told his wife to be he welcomed the day when “there will be a nationalization of industry … and a better distribution of wealth.”
King thought white people needed to "reeducate" themselves if black people were ever to become truly equal:
“Whites, it must frankly be said, are not putting in a similar mass effort to reeducate themselves out of their racial ignorance. It is an aspect of their sense of superiority that the white people of America believe they have so little to learn. The reality of substantial investment to assist Negroes into the twentieth century, adjusting to Negro neighbors and genuine school integration, is still a nightmare for all too many white Americans…These are the deepest causes for contemporary abrasions between the races. Loose and easy language about equality, resonant resolutions about brotherhood fall pleasantly on the ear, but for the Negro there is a credibility gap he cannot overlook. He remembers that with each modest advance the white population promptly raises the argument that the Negro has come far enough. Each step forward accents an ever-present tendency to backlash.”
King supported what we'd now call either Affirmative Action or DEI, perhaps even reparations:
“A society that has done something special against the Negro for hundreds of years must now do something special for him, in order to equip him to compete on a just and equal basis.”
and
“If a city has a 30% Negro population, then it is logical to assume that Negroes should have at least 30% of the jobs in any particular company, and jobs in all categories rather than only in menial areas”
King supported Democratic Socialism and Universal Basic Income:
“Something is wrong with capitalism. Maybe America must move toward a democratic socialism. We must develop programs that will drive the nation to the realization of the need for a guaranteed annual income.”
and
“I imagine you already know that I am much more socialistic in my economic theory than capitalistic.”
King supported ending the filibuster:
“I think the tragedy is that we have a Congress with a Senate that has a minority of misguided senators who will use the filibuster to keep the majority of people from even voting.”
Perhaps his second-most famous quote, showing preference for helping the working class over, say, tax cuts for the rich:
“This country has socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for the poor.”
King recognized disproportionate policy brutality and unequal justice in the courts for black people:
“I had seen police brutality with my own eyes and watched Negroes receive the most tragic injustice in the court. All of these things had done something to my growing personality.”
King supported universal healthcare and quality public education:
“In both Norway and Sweden, whose economies are literally dwarfed by the size of our affluence and the extent of our technology, they have no unemployment and no slums. There, men, women and children have long enjoyed free medical care and quality education. This contrast to the limited, halting steps taken by our rich nation deeply troubled me.”
Which of the above positions do you believe are in line with current Republican policy?
