The funny thing is, after Johnson instituted the Great Society and we've spent trillions on poverty, we still have more than that declared by our government to be poor. King has said he was a socialist and that conflicts with his teaching about the bible. A socialist government will require acquiesence to that government which will be in direct conflict with the teaching of the bible which is to put the lord first.More quotes from King:
One day we must ask the question, “Why are there forty million poor people in America?” ... When you ask that question, you begin to question the capitalistic economy.
(Final speech to the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, 1967)
In a 1966 speech to his staff, King explained:
[W]e are saying that something is wrong ... with capitalism.... There must be better distribution of wealth and maybe America must move toward a democratic socialism. Call it what you may, call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all of God’s children.
Honestly....if you’d just slow down and look at yourself....you might see that it’s really the only legitimate answer in most of your “debates”Nice answer.
Maybe once you realized that MLK had socialist economic views that were in direct contrast to what you thought he did, and was thuroughly corrected by MWV.
By that ridiculous thinking, one could simply say that capitalism advocates for putting money, or even individual liberty above the lord.The funny thing is, after Johnson instituted the Great Society and we've spent trillions on poverty, we still have more than that declared by our government to be poor.

He literally gave you quotes from the man himself. He didn’t try to “pretend” he knew the man’s specific views. Only that he was socialistic in his nature in regards to the economy and wanted the nation’s wealth to be more evenly distributed amongst the people.Nope...he hasn't explained yet how Dr. King wanted incomes distributed. I said he wanted equality of ecomonic opportunity not outcomes through Government income redistribution. If that's what he wanted, how did he argue it should be done?

Your Bullsh1t approaches to making my the world what you want it to be is just that....Bullsh1t.
Yep. Your twisted mind surely is the source of all your arguments....glad we can agree on that.Of course it is. I dont deny that. It's the source of all of my arguments just like big Government run by Man is the answer to all Leftist positions.

And how this post applies to anything mentioned in this thread exists only in......yep.....your twisted twisted mindCapitalism cannot exist without a moral Social order. Thats my argument and it was Dr. King's too. We were plenty capitalist enough before he started his work but we were morally bankrupt. He called on our morality to correct that.
You’re not MLK. You don’t get to speak for him.And Im saying that is not how he envisioned a moral and just Society. Simply redistributing incomes is just as immoral as preventing folks of color from a chance to earn them!

I think you’re a very twisted person. A mind warped out of any real consistent sanity. Good intentions gone very wrong.
I think it's great that he is the ultimate judge and jury on someone's religious claims. I said I'm Christian, he denies that......but he can see in to the mind of Dr. King? I have the evidence......I have the quotes......he has his pride and opinions......
I never said anything about it chubbs. Not once.And I think you are woefully ignorant of where Dr.King's inspiration came from.
Dr. KingDr. king quoted Scripture for his moral authority. What do you quote?
And not once have you bothered to recognoze on what authority Dr. King spoke those eloquent words. Why not? That wasn't his source? Almighty God's word? Then what was it?Give up, he's trying to deflect and turn this in to a religious debate about morals and absolutes again......he has no answer to rebut the original claim (opinion) that he made that Dr. King would have been a supporter of Trump......then when I use the quotes against that claim (opinion), he switches his tune and tries to throw government beliefs out of the debate by saying they are "irrelevant".......well, if they were, then why was he the first to bring them up with his opinion on Dr. King's political beliefs?
I have supplied dozens of direct quotes from Dr. King himself.......proving once and for all what political side of the spectrum he would have been on, but have not put my own "opinion" on it because that isn't the thing to do........
Your Bullsh1t approaches to making my the world what you want it to be is just that....Bullsh1t.

Not righties, just the crazies. And not divorce, just ready for you nutjobs to be outvoted for good (even if it’s within your own party).Sounds like you're ready for a divorce from us righties. Welcome to the club.

That’s who MWV quoted....nutjobSo he was his owb source for his Morality?
OK.

In case you missed it, I quoted Hitler to prove you guys are on the same team. MWV has been running like a scalded dog from that one while decrying 'but I've quoted MLK' in this thread. The irony is delicious.
He's baiting you......he never will accept the truth, the factual quotes about Dr. King because it crushes his personal beliefs as he does not think a religious person can be...*gulp*....socialist in thought and practice?

If socialism is "Godless".....you are calling Dr. King "Godless"? How dare you! Especially today!
