IF MLK were alive, would he support Barack? Would he support Reverend Wright? Would he support Cynthia McKinney and Rosa Clemente? Would he work outside the framework of the Democrats and Republicans? Until we have listened to the full versions of all of his speeches and read his books and his various biographies, we can't really say we know or understand Dr. King. He is certainly broader and deeper than the I Have A Dream Icon that pop culture and the mainstream media have portayed him.

The Pentagon currently owns or rents 702 overseas bases in about 130 countries and HAS another 6,000 bases in the United States and its territories.
Why? This military empire jeopardizes our safety and freedom and has nothing to do with defending America.

i dnt know pat, i dnt know wat buddist are about, their religion their beliefs their doctrines their way of life, but wat i do know is Acts 4:12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." i dnt expect u to agree, to respect or to listen to me, as real chrsitian we are to give the good news of salvation thru Jesus Christ you can take it or not its a sole choice of the person, MLK was a great man of many cus he believed God
To me, what makes a ... ( 17 hours ago by dedsperkrat)
To me, what makes a man or woman a good person isn't their beliefs, but their actions. Pat Robertson is an evangelical Christian, and he blames 9/11 on homosexuals in New York; Ghandi was a Hindu, and he was the original non-violent protester. I'm an agnostic, but I'm a much nicer person (I hope) than most religious people I know, who use their religion as an excuse for homophobia and anti-Semitism. One's beliefs don't define that person, nor their skin color; one's actions do.

Obama is just continuing the status quo Obama is not betraying this country, he has not even taken office yet and he told you he would finish the job in Afganistan, you should have voted for Ron Paul. Obama is no different than the rest of the lying politians
in D.C. Bush betrayed this country and should be behind bars, he lied 900 _ times about Iraq, Obama told you what he is going to do, he is another warmonger like the rest of them.
when will we wake up?
