I mucked up... posted on the OT instead of here, but let’s be real. Those bootlickers are envious. They’ve had Biden as their savior. I’m sorry if I upset the sensitive types. Petroleum is producing. If you can’t deal with the norms, drop out of the race.

The Kennedys were mafia plants... bootleggers, gamblers, adulterers, and poor Rose had her brain routed out via a lobotomy. Despicable humans.

MLK was an adulterer and a woman abuser.

Seriously, F all of them. They’re no heroes of mine.

Horrible examples of love and real freedom.

No one is perfect. Some our greatest heroes were very flawed men and women. Instead of deifying them, we should look at them as mere human beings who, while flawed, rose up and did extraordinary things that ended up benefiting mankind in the long run.

MLK is not your hero?

I don't think this needed to be said on this board.

Scratch an egalitarian and you'll find a statist.

He's hardly my hero but I respect some things about him.

I certainly don't hate him as much as I hate the Kennedys in general and Teddy in particular, who should have done prison time and even now continues to help destroy America, after his avid sponsorship of the 1965 immigration act.

I generally give civil rights leaders a pass on the ”statist question”.

Ask yourself this: Would MLK and his contemporaries have been nearly as relevant or even active if the US government (federal and state) were not intentionally discrimanatory in education, housing, or employment laws?

Yes. You have activist now, but the difference is you actually have laws on the books and evidence showing these causes are fraudulent (equal pay myth, race baiters, etc.)

You have to judge people by their time period. If you do it for General Robert E Lee or any other figure then it's only fair to look at the time period and judge by the circumstances.

Science seems to be able to do this better than most other areas. Separate their contributions to society away from their faults, which are acknowledged. Many great mathematicians were Nazis who made incredible contributions - luckily we don't decide that their theorems are worthless because they were terrible people.

That is amusing. A trump fan calling out someone for being an adulterer. I love it. Good catch. Judging by the way trump bragged about barging into the beauty pageant change rooms, I am sure that he could be classified as an abuser, also.

He introduced the bill that created FISA, too.
