I remember when Altamont happened.
My mom said, " See? All they do at those rock and roll concerts is kill people."
My response: " You voted for Nixon. He'll kill a LOT more people by sending them off to Vietnam."
I think that was a pretty sharp response for a 12 yr old.
Heh That's funny. I thought it was the South Vietnamese who were gunning down and torturing our soldiers.  Yes, but Nixon should have known that the South Vietnamese were going to gun them down and torture them and not sent them there.

US soldiers burning down housing/villages? I hate commies as much or even more than you do, but a good cause does not justify vile means. pussy.

Yes, but Nixon should have known that the South Vietnamese were going to gun them down and torture them and not sent them there. I guess we shouldn't have sent soldiers into Europe during WWII either seeing as how some of them were captured and tortured by the Gestapo.

For that matter, I guess we should never send firemen into burning buildings since they sometimes die.

Yes, G-Man still thinks the Gulf of Tonkin was real and that Nixon had no idea the war was already lost.

So Nixon, the former president of our country, had no responsibility in sending people to war, but MLK somehow can be held responsible for the actions of rioters in a crowd. Hmmmmmmmmm. Now, let us allow for the fact that our "heroes" are not perfect. No, MLK was not the greatest of the greats. Neither was Malcolm X, Mahatma Gandhi , Mother Tereasa, or the Dalai Lamas. What is a hero to one person is a villain at worst and an idiot at best to others. Would you both agree to disagree and leave it at that, or are you guys going to continue to whip 'em out and measure 'em?

Monday, March 16, 2009 Malcolm X the Conservative- Shelby Steele is always a refreshing tonic on race matters:
"The appeal of conservatism is the mutuality it asserts between individual and political freedom, its beautiful idea of a free man in a free society. And it offers minorities the one thing they can never get from liberalism: human rather than racial dignity. I always secretly loved Malcolm X more than Martin Luther King Jr. because Malcolm wanted a fuller human dignity for blacks -- one independent of white moral wrestling. In a liberalism that wants to redeem the nation of its past, minorities can only be ciphers in white struggles of conscience."
I've also, more often than not, found myself the oddball conservative for loving Malcolm over Martin. But Steele's WSJ op-ed for today is not really about Malcolm so much as the more fundamental problems in the GOP's metanarrative which prevent it from getting a fair hearing in an American electorate hungry for national justification and sanctification.
As a theological aside, somewhere in the trauma of the Civil War and Reconstruction, Protestant theology of redemption and eschatology got transferred from the church to the nation-state. Bleeding heart activism is the Protestant work ethic projected onto the political and social realm. What the activists always fail to question is the deification of the State.
God I love Shelby Steele.
