I like your take on this. I get your point.
We must not condemn the motivations of others especially the ones that the government wants us to believe are “scary” and “terrorists.” Governmental fearmongering should be a signal to us free thinkers to dig deep and grasp a real understanding of the full story.
Keep up the good work.

Just a couple of points that need clarification:

1. John McCain “missed the war?” He was shot doen fighting the war and was held by the enemy – this to me would seem like a front row seat.
2. Good quote from JFK – but let’s be real – he was the PResident that sent many many troops to Veitnam to start with. Rhetoric is great, but the slogan seems out of context with the reality of the man who made the decision to get so seriously engaged in Vietnam.
3. I have a hard time accepting that some spoiled middle class white kids are now thought to be justified in their violence. Ayers is completely unrepentant for the violence and his wife is even more radical still today. Not saying they don’t contribute to society, but the violence was and is inexcusable.
4. We all get the dark sides of our history – maybe the good is interred with the bones of the past though. The US has done a great deal of good inthe world as wel….

It just shows what a great man MLK was. He was before his time.

I am really proud that we are taking such an active role in the future of America. I know there have been voting campaigns before but nothing like this. Thank you Xilla for informing us and actively participating in this historical moment by voicing your views. It is very motivational.

Yes but respectfully you call them a revoluntionary group. And then link them to MLK. I think its a stretch, but I respect your right to voice your opinion. Please respect mine and there is not a need to get upset and “understand that” and all of that. I thought this was a place for open dialogue.
