The blacks have be...I couldn't agree more, S.J. The blacks have been in desperate need of good, solid leadership since Abrascam Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. <br /><br />Unfortunately, The Reverend Martin Luther King, Junior, who was a bit better than you want us to believe, but not by much, and decidedly flawed in more ways than you enumerate, was martyred. That enabled the myth making machinery of the enemedia to create the quasi-Christ-like image now accepted as simple truth by just about everyone under the age of sixty, just as "everyone" automatically accepts the media driven notion that Richard M. Nixon was a wicked, scheming crook who nearly destroyed our sacred democratic process, etc.<br /><br />Whatever the enemedia encourages the American Public to believe, you may be fairly certain it is the product of elaborate tendentious prevarication.<br /><br />The enemedia, –– who daily shapes Public Opinion, and hypnotizes the vast majority of us into accepting whatever the Master Baiters, who own and operate virtually all major organs of communication, and therefore set the agenda, want us to believe –– is Orwell's diabolical Ministry of Truth made manifest.<br /><br />Those few of us left who remember better times, because we lived through them, and were in close touch with family members, teachers and mentors born in the nineteenth-century before the ravages of Progressivism and Cultural Marxism took over still understand reality from a perspective no linger possible for those who've spent their entire lives brainwashed by the post-WWII enemedia.<br /><br />MLK has become a symbol of a longed for ideal that never reached fruition. His humanity and the true nature of his character and disposition have been lost in the realm of Manufactured Myth and Legend.FreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-10278398994405632992015-01-20T11:41:22.673-06:002015-01-20T11:41:22.673-06:00BRAVO!BRAVO!A Pissed Off Irishmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06186077775522481614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-24203636450014437492015-01-19T16:58:39.843-06:002015-01-19T16:58:39.843-06:00RN: Oy vey, indeed.RN: Oy vey, indeed.Silverfiddlehttp://westernhero.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-87614501870263182682015-01-19T16:47:24.110-06:002015-01-19T16:47:24.110-06:00You are much too kind in your closing response to ...You are much too kind in your closing response to Reality Hurts.

If the protestors are opposed to needless killings, then protest in an orderly manner. Don’t give us that BS about unarmed Black males, or Gentle Giant Unarmed Teens. . Yes, people have a right to protest and I think those who are trying to pin this on the peaceful protesters. But not like these a-holes did.<br />Yes, only a few idiots chanted about wanting dead cops But a few is to many! Those idiots are out of line and should be arrested as well. . In fact, Eric Garner's widow said (in regards to the officer shootings) "I know what they're going through to lose a loved one right before the holidays, and everything is so sad, and I would ask that everyone that is protesting with us, please protest in a nonviolent way. My husband was not a violent man so we don't want any violence connected to his name". Yeah Right. He was a 400 pound 6 foot 4 inch thug.

King was widely reviled in his lifetime, attacked as a troublemaker, a liar, a womanizer, a con man and yes a communist.<br />Like it or not, these are part of his legacy as well. They remind us that even some Americans were once demonized and derided. And although we don’t want to think of our “Heros” that way, it may be true that they are as others claim that they are. We don’t want to see our heros whitewashed in history, we lose a sense of the respect that we held so dearly. <br />As someone who can recall, back when Martin Luther King was traveling around the U.S., I remember whenever he would leave a city, there would be chaos and riots. He would go and stir up the blacks, much like Al Sharpton does these days. I also remember that he attended the, Communist training school in Tenn. Many of the Left Wingers of the time went there to be trained in there, I know, Pete Seeger was a member of both the Young Communist League and the Communist Party and made no bones about it, Paul Robeson, Charlie Chaplin was clearly a commie and J. Edgar Hoover tried to have him deported, Harry Belafonte was a singer who first began his career before the communist-fronted youth groups, and Rosa Parks attended classes there. I still don't understand how America can honor M. L. King! I guess the blacks had to be placated, so Liberal politicians gave them this holiday! There were more qualified black, who never got this honor, why?<br /><br />That’s why I can’t help but smile when I hear some of the figures honoring Dr. King today. And lets call it as it is. We see some people disrespecting others that we may call “OUR” heros as well. For example look at what the Liberals say about some of the people that us conservatives look upon as OUR HEROS, such as Ronald Reagan.<br /><br />And I would surely tale a Condoleezza Rice, over a Hillary Clinton. And for that matter a George Bush over a Barack Obama. And a John Bolton over a Susan Rice, anytime!<br />And how can anyone possibly have any respect for Bill Clinton? You would have to be crazy to respect that Jerk, who didn’t have any respect for his own office and I’d put Ted Kennedy in the same class. Or should I say “Classless”.

Numerous psycho social research studies support the view but more than other variables. I think that you tend to mirror the values of the thoughts of the blacks accordingly.<br /><br /> If you accept the view that certain religious denominations are more authoritarian than others, then the issue of strict and cruel child-rearing practices comes into sharper focus. The authoritarian mindset approves the use of coercive means to shape, control, and enforce behaviors in accordance with an absolute set of standards. It values obedience, respect for authority, work, tradition, and social order. The authoritarian model is indifferent to pain and suffering. Thus, in my view, when we speak of “religion,” we are actually talking about an authoritarian mindset.<br />Racist ideology is sometimes manifested openly, in insults, malicious jokes, acts of hatred, inequality. Nevertheless, in many cases, it is deeply rooted in values, beliefs and stereotypical attitudes usually originated in the child’s upbringing. .<br /> Spare me about the authoritarian thinking that inflicts strict upbringing to force submission. When a total ignorant preacher as righteous as somebody like the false Reverend Al Sharpton tries to avenge themselves without qualms by inflicting the same cruel practices on their own race. Society will commend these authoritarians as upstanding enforcers of the community standard. Thus, cruelty passes from generation to generation and flourishes under cover of piety and patriotism, often with this injunction: like, It’s is for your own good.<br />Child abuse and neglect is a serious social problem. Research indicates that a significant number of children in the United States have been victims of physical abuse. The figures show that ethnic minority children (e.g., African Americans, Native American Indians/Alaskan Natives, and Pacific Islander children) have higher rates of reported child abuse and neglect compared to their non-Hispanic white counterparts. It has been argued that health practitioners, social workers, and mental health counselors should take into account race, ethnicity, and sociocultural factors when working with child abuse and neglect cases.<br /> Cruel practices have social and historical implications, and consequences . Violence is learned in the home, as well as in the streets.. Obedience is a condition of beatitude. Sometimes abused and traumatized children reenact their childhoods on the political stage and turn themselves into demagogues and tyrants, or become the adherents, adulators, and henchman of tyrants and lunatic ideologues. Cruel and abusive child-rearing practices are the source of all injustice and tyranny in the world.Osohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10836154395383490830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-85531157259832868632015-01-18T12:41:44.288-06:002015-01-18T12:41:44.288-06:00You're not Oso.
