    I'm interested in the topic, not some cheap attempt at a Ron Paul dig. That's why I didn't really acknowledge it, it wasn't worth the time. I'm surprised you couldn't see that lawyer.

    Where was the Ron Paul dig? And why the lawyer talk? Calm down.

    I'm curious that in 2013 what people think of it based upon current policies. Also what would MLK think (your opinion) about his quote in the present?




    "the truth shall set you free..." -look up that quote-

    It's relevant because of people like Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden.

    one of the posts directly before the "whatever" response.which was uncalled for IMO.

    Op was an honest question , relevant to the day and current events.

    Sure, but it wasn't me. And if people are going to be thin-skinned enough about their politics that they respond by making personal comments toward people who didn't slight their favorite candidate, then maybe they need to rethink why they post here.

    Just a thought. Keep it civil, kids.

    How was it uncalled for? I answered his question. If you would prefer it said another way I will say it this way:

    MLK would believe that we should continue to fight for that which is right: Equality for all, Love for all, and Peace for all.

    This is the opposite of what Paul would say. Paul would feel as though Religion should dictate Love, and that government should not promote the wealth of the needy (both financially and in other ways as well; such as health and peace).


    I figured that since the OP was trying to stir the pot I would add some flavor.

    For what it's worth I don't think Obama or really any other politician in any elected seat for that matter, could come close to MLK's thoughts and vision - then, now and in the future.

    I didnt get the impression that he was" trying to stir the pot". As I see it ,it was quite the assumption on your part since he hadnt really posted his own thoughts or opinions on the quote til after your snide remark.
