which upcoming president

I still can't make sense of your post . I still can't put women rights movement in the same category of the black civil right (Not taking anything away from that movement). MLK is suppose to be the day people here in America to reflect on the past, so that this horrible part of American history doesnt repeat in future. Of all the holidays on the calender, I still can't believe you call it stupid. But it is your opinion, I DID kinda expected your stance on this by the way you decide on other topics on IA. I bet you also don't think the Gov't shouldn't have built a civil rights museum too ( It did take them long enough)

repped

As did I expect the responses I got from you. If you truly believe MLK Day is what you say it is then why single out him. Why not call it Anti-Discrimination day or some sh!t like that. This way it can be in remembrance of ALL discriminatory acts against citizines of this country and not just blacks. And while the discrimination women faced may not have been as brutal or fatal as discrimination against blacks it's just as important. Don't get me wrong the concept of the holiday may have been great but now it is nothing more than a national day off from work.

Maybe for yourself and even if the holiday was changed to anti-discrimination day you still will prob. call it a stupid holiday for some reason or another.

Cause you know me so well. Figures that the typical IA responses would rear their ugly at head at some point.

[TIGERJC]

well you can blame that on the values of Some American citzens. But I was raised to actually use that day to reflect on the past even if it was for only for an hour. When I was in grade school, I actually took trips on those days to historic black spots Like Tuskegee airman memorable, MLk center, or to my great grand father's house to hear his stories of him growing up in Alabama

[redrumracer]

i some what agree with redgt on the MLK holiday thing, although i dont think its stupid, the man did do a lot for equality. but as far as holidays that are recognized like that(MLK) i think something like veterns day or something like that should be celebrated.

[ShooterMcGavin]

why does everyone always leave off the NONE OF THE ABOVE option?

Its not hard when your pretty consistent on your posts.

Well at least I'm consistent. Serisously though man your gonna criticize me cause I think a certian holiday is stupid? Hell Valentines Day is stupid to me as well. If MLK day was something other than singling one guy out than I actually might do something but since it singles out one guy when there are a whole bunch of other people that should be celebrated for supporting the same cause, then forget it.

[Alan®]

well either way im goin to bed night chaps

[Echonova]

Why do only Government workers get MLK day off?


Whitey is still trying to squash our movement...

[TheProfiteer]

Just a little add on. McCain is one of the most liberal republicans. If he gets elected don't be surprised if he pulls all the troops out of Iraq.

that has to be the 2nd dumbest statement I have read in this thread thus far. Why would the guy that worked across party lines to push the surge through pull every one out.

Politics is a game buddy, you remember the only Republican canidate who openly said that he wanted to pull out of Iraq right?

Mr. Ron Paul, and how far did he get?

If your going to run republican, the last thing you want to do is contest the war the current administration tried so hard to justify.

Any of you consider that Obama's close relationship with Ayers could lend him a better insight into the sociology and thought process of terrorists? Intellectual debate with a terrorist of such experience is beneficial to reaching a mutual understanding on dealing with other terrorists. Terrorism is universal and all terrorists think the same way; they each just fight for different causes and have different rhetoric for defending their cause.

Same argument could be said for his relationship with his pastor. Having a president with a moderate Muslim background would help relations in Muslim areas of the world by showing that one can be tolerant and liberal while still retaining their Muslim faith. Regarding Iraq, they're running on a budget surplus, while we've been in a budget deficit for years. They need to start taking over their own national security concerns but we need to stick around ensure this. If we overstay our welcome we will be resented, whether it be 5 or 10 years down the road. Look at Iran who is still upset at America for unjustly propping the Shah into power in the 1970s.

So Obama associates with a terrorist retired for 40 years while Bush associates with corrupt oil-cronies who currently **** America? JFK had mob ties out the ass and numerous affairs and George Washington WAS a terrorist yet they both go down in history as great presidents.
