'm not a Leftist by any means. I'm a Moderate, have voted Republican for candidates in the past, and don't care whether you believe me, or not.
No, but it’s a good place to have a bit of discourse and understand alternate views. It’s fun to watch new liberals show up here every now and then with the same Deplorables view of the Right Wing element of the board and then get a lesson on their own biases.I pay attention to plenty of legitimate news sources. The Blue Lot is a fine place to discuss issues, but it’s not a legitimate source of political info.
Socialists have a "God". It's Leviathan. Their Religion is secular humanism and the sacraments are abortion and homosexuality.
Dr. King was a Baptist minister. Married. Believed in Christ as his personal Savior and didn't support infanticide. He also chased tail, cursed, and disobeyed the law which at the time was discrimination against the color of his skin.
That didn't make him a Socialist, it made him human.
But he was a socialist.....
Well sorta based om their debates. Didnt Biden pay lip service to the green new deal?I don't take my political info from a car salesman. You have no idea what you're talking about. You're not interested in discussion. Your only interest it to push an agenda.
I do oppose those things and so do Biden and Bloomberg.

Who do Socialists owe their salvation from Sin to MWV? Dr. King owed his to Christ. If you think that made him a Socialist before a Christian saved by the blood of the risen Lord, that's your problem, not his. He's with Christ now, not Socialists.

But anyone who was leaning on Biden for centrism is gravely mistaken, and it’s proven with his nod toward Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s “Green New Deal.” In fact, Biden not only thinks it doesn’t go too far, it doesn’t go far enough
Precisely! *(hint...don't tell @NYC_Eer this ) He's a "moderate" don't ya know?
Dr. King has my sincere admiration you fool. YOU on the other hand enjoy unregulated access to my undiluted contempt.
The stupid shit libtards believe because someone on TV told them so.Yeah, an admiration for socialist beliefs.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti admitted recently that the true motivation behind introducing the Green New Deal is to overhaul the “entire economy.”
The stupid shit libtards believe because someone on TV told them so.
Yeah, an admiration for socialist beliefs.
or it could be what Joe Biden says we were all created by?
Hey @MountaineerWV were YOU created by...you know..."the thing?"
I think so?
Ignorance. The true liberal staple.
“I imagine you already know that I am much more socialistic in my economic theory than capitalistic… [Capitalism] started out with a noble and high motive… but like most human systems it fell victim to the very thing it was revolting against. So today capitalism has out-lived its usefulness.”Letter to Coretta Scott, July 18, 1952.
“In a sense, you could say we’re involved in the class struggle.”Quote to New York Times reporter, José Igelsias, 1968
“Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God’s children.”Speech to the Negro American Labor Council, 1961.
“The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and evils of racism." Speech to SCLC Board, March 30, 1967.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's legacy
https://www.equip.org/article/martin-luther-king-jr-s-legacy/
excerpt:
Much like the man he was named for, Martin Luther King, Jr., was a reformer and a revolutionary. A minister and civil rights leader whose legacy will reverberate through history long after we’re gone, King’s philosophy and theology were influenced by the black church’s “social gospel,” which sought to alleviate societal problems based on Christian ethics, white Protestant liberalism, and the philosophy of men such as Mahatma Gandhi. King undergirded the civil rights movement, at least in the beginning, with Christian principles of forgiveness, faith, love, and brotherhood. He resented racial segregation and the disrespectful treatment that resulted from it, but he tried to counter the treatment with hope for racial equality.
*editor's note (you won't find much about Dr. King's legacy here based on his devotion to Socialism)

Ok....so you are calling King's own words "lying"? Hmmm..........interesting approach.
He is the personification of it. Him arguing Dr. Martin Luther King is best known as a Socialist would be like arguing Chinese Communist Chairman Mao being best known as a free market entrepreneur.
Ok....so you are calling King's own words "lying"? Hmmm..........interesting approach.
I'm not calling Dr. King a "liar" you idiot...I'm saying he's known around the world as a warrior for social justice who fought for it based on Christian principles not Socialism. I noticed how you avoided my direct question to you asking you who Socialist's owe their "salvation" to? You at least can admit Dr. King did not owe his salvation to Socialists? Do you know who he owed that to?
Go ahead lie. Or better yet, don't answer because then it would expose you as the pathological liar you know YOU are.
Nope. Never said that he was "best known". But he did believe in socialism. HE said it, not me.
Answer? Will you admit that Dr. King believed in socialism? And that he believed it would fix some of the social problems? I doubt you will..............even though his own quotes prove it.
Oh, look it up.....Christian Socialism......you'd be shocked!
look it up.....Christian Socialism......you'd be shocked!
look it up.....Christian Socialism
Because J Edgar Hoover was a real investigator?Why don't you just go full J. Edgar Hoover and call MLK a communist?
It hurts you, the truth about your hero.....but he's a great, wise man that broadened his beliefs to embrace socialism the way he did.
