@cicio428

CIvil Rights has largely failed in its predicted conclusions, medicare/medicad are going broke, Housing Rights Act violates private property, the war on poverty has increased poverty like the war on drugs, and yes Vietnam was awful. Trying to help everyone itself is not that useful. As is said, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Consequences matter the most.

Gr8 vision history....what an age we live in...imagine Lincoln's White House if it had been captured on video

@Eaglesfanmd

No, and if I taught history I would not call myself a "social studies" teacher (a crappy latter substitute name). However, I am correct in what I said. When Civil Rights laws were passed it was predicted that racial income inequality would lessen and be practically equal. Poverty as proportion of the population has increased since the 60s. Housing rights act tells owners of property who have committed no aggression who they can/must sell too in order to be pc.

"Johnson would come on the plane and the minute he got out of sight of the crowds, he would stand in the doorway and grin from ear to ear and say, 'You dumb sons of bitches. I piss on all of you,' " recalls Robert M. MacMillan, an Air Force One steward.

@globalpreparation LBJ shot JFK? Oh good god you people will never cease to amaze me with your ignorance. Johnson didn't have the pull in the administration in regard to every other government organization to pull off an assassination. And no private sector assassination could ever have been kept secret.

[globalpreparation]

@rar9518 actually the evidence DOES show that he was shot from the front, the evidence is there, several documentaries lay it out. There's no doubt that Johnson had him assasinated but he wasn't alone in this to be sure. It was a highly coordinated murder done by the CIA! Even RFK and Jacqueline new this and stated so!

[rar9518]

@jmurphy77 Ok so what's your point about there possible being a frontal shooter? Are you saying LBJ had him assassinated? What's your point? You're just babbling about there being a frontal shooter (who doesn't exist)

[jmurphy778]

@rar9518 I'm not dodging ANYTHING. Determination of motive isn't required when I have your hero LBJ & Hoover acknowledging there was a frontal shooter (conspiracy). It's ON TAPE. Your stupidity in not knowing the conversation in question and laziness in not taking 5 minutes to research it doesn't constitute valid counterpoint.

"Any more questions?"

Yes.

Hoover said Connally was "in the way" of a 3rd shot to JFK. How does a bullet perform a U-turn in mid-air?

[rar9518]

@jmurphy778 Haha you're dodging my question of motive. I've brought it up 3 or 4 times and you've refused to answer. And new flash debating isn't equivalent to just insulting and accusing. That's called shrouding a stupid point in hate mongering attacks in the hopes that the cloud of accusations will dilute the fact that you have no actual argument. Any more questions pumpkin? ^_^

[jmurphy778]

@rar9518 My "concern" isn't centered around homework. It has more to do with the grim reality that even our private educational institutions are producing sniveling, irretrievably lost, mental non-entities like you. You're clearly a snobbish, nanny-state womb-to tomb government-entitlement parasitic drone.. (with relative debating skills..make that issue #7).
