Comments on: MLK http://morewhat.com/wordpress/mlk/ To build consensus on issues Wed, 23 May 2012 07:45:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.3 by: Stanford Matthews http://morewhat.com/wordpress/mlk/#comment-19959 Tue, 20 Jan 2009 02:38:59 +0000 http://morewhat.com/wordpress/mlk/#comment-19959 I think of all the 'radical' groups and individuals operating in those days and find some parallels to today. Although I respect MLKjr, his dedication and commitment it might be fair to assume his leanings were liberal although it is too easy to label and place everything in convenient categories. The mind likes order. So I wonder if he would be pleased with the political climate since the last campaign and election? There are liberals and conservatives who I believe share opinions of each other's philosophy but the politics interfere with that. Just as I believe that MLKjr may have been in large part a liberal I suspect he had some conservative notions as well. Just because he championed civil rights does not necessarily mean he was a liberal. I think of all the ‘radical’ groups and individuals operating in those days and find some parallels to today.

I think MLK would have very mixed feelings were he still alive today. Nice tribute. I think MLK would have very mixed feelings were he still alive today.
