You don't think fathers evolve in their thinking.

Where do you think wisdom comes from?

I don't know about you, but I wasn't born perfect. I am evolving and growing.

I hope you are too.

I know Obama evolves.

I know Hillary evolves.

They tell me apes evolve, but I’m not convinced of that.

“Evolving” nowadays seems to be a pleasant way of describing one’s betrayal of a principle, or a set of principles, because it all got just too damn hard to uphold.

At any rate you’re in some lofty company.

Obama never evolves...Hillary never evolves.

You are playing semantics with me. I don't have time and neither do you.

Go find the enemy and fight with him.

He hit the nail on the head....it is evil. No better word to describe it. 73% single parent births in the black community and more black babies aborted than born in NYC. Both are keys to Progressive power.

Malcolm X also preached that white people were devils. Black politicians have used his concepts and words to turn once-liveable areas like Detroit and Chicago into the hells on earth they now are, same as Obama has been accused of doing with the nation at large. Facts that should not be ignored when discussing Malcolm’s “philosophy”.

Malcom X, as the article/essay of this very post points out, discriminated between white liberals and white conservatives, properly labelling the former as devils. Malcom X was all about discriminating away from exactly the generalities you keep spouting about him. He was killed because he wouldn't go along with this plantation mentality, and because he refused to agree to the wall-talking of the likes you are doing.

He - rare among a virtual sea of black political activists - came to understand that all of the so-called government help blacks were getting, were actually keeping them socially and economically enslaved, and corroding their self-respect. He called the white Democrat liberals who were deliberately enacting this program on the black people "devils," which I see as an extremely accurate term in this context. Because these are the people who ran the programs that rewarded other blacks to stay on the plantation and turn Detroit, Chicago, Oakland and other urban areas into hells on Earth.

That's why the most important aspect of who and what Malcom X was is exactly his rejection of the enormously destructive socialist manipulation of the black community. You know this - it's why you generalize the problems with this person who fought them. Your words represent those very "white devils" by absolutely and stubbornly refusing to acknowledge this extremely simple and well-known fundamental difference of Malcom X from other black leaders.

So really, the "facts that should not be ignored" here, are the very facts you are refusing to acknowledge. They are not all equal fact, and those facts that discriminate malcom X from the herd, and identify the reasons he stood out against plantation mentality, are the most important ones concerning his life. And your refusal to acknowledge this simple truth, and your work to hide its existence, is the fact that makes you stand out on this thread, literally against the facts of history itself.

Malcolm X was a hustler, who used words to get others to follow him and do his bidding. That aspect of him, symptomatic of what you would expect from a gay prostitute, never changed.

Just because he sang a different tune late in life, is no reason to parrot his thoughts. Like Obama he played the game of preaching to a crowd, and we would all be his victims if we took his words at face value, rather than considering their source.

To put it another way: The words of Malcolm X should be no more welcomed in your house as a philosophy, than the actual personage of a gay prostitute should be. Regardless of whether he at one time said something to elicit your agreement, that's the type of game that people who have no honor often play.

Which is exactly how we as a nation acquired many of the problems we have now, as the populace at large was manipulated to fall for the rhetoric of Obama without didn't sufficiently examining their source. Only in places such as FR were critical views explored, and these now are prescient of political developments we all are now the victims of.

Let's not make that same mistake again, regarding the mere words of Malcolm X.

The words of Malcolm X should be no more welcomed in your house as a philosophy, than the actual personage of a gay prostitute should be.

Like I said, we are identified by our interests.

You are obsessed with your unattributed accusations of gay prostitution. And because of your fetish, you are imploring FReepers not to think, not to read, not to learn, of what Malcolm X taught black people, but instead join you in your frothing hatred.

I, on the other hand, like virtually everyone who studies what Malcom X taught, admire the fact that he repeatedly countered Leftists in the black communities. That he told black people to finish their educations, to start small businesses, to become economically self-sufficient and to stay off of government handouts. That he taught them to respect themselves.

That's how we differ, you and I - by what we focus on. What Malcom X taught the black community was more precious than gold, and would have saved millions of lives had he not been murdered by those same Leftists he was exposing.

All I have to go on for your slander is your slander - you give no sources. But you are obviously shilling, for there is zero justification to tell FReepers not to read and study what someone stood for, and merely dismiss a life because your vile claims. Being a Leftist, you cannot conceive of Christian thinking. It never occurs to you that it might just be someone who has fallen low, who God would choose to teach the value of his own life. That just such a person would be the one to standup among his people, after falling so hard, and teach them to repsect themselves. That the path they were on is wrong, and should be changed.

Unlike the vile group condemnation and complete ignorance you are teaching people to pursue in the name of morality, Christianity is full of fallen people whom God has lifted up to speak the truth, and to repent. Malcom X was Muslim, but Malcom X was religious and taught the political religion of self-respect. Your hatred and condemnation and calls for blacklisting and shunning identify you very easily as a collectivist.

Far more evil that your most frothing imaginings of what a gay prostitute does, is your call for people to stop learning. To stop reading, to stop thinking for themselves. What you are calling for is what is practiced under Sharia law, and in Chinese communism, where the group decides who is so filthy that they must be shunned and hated and never listened to. And now you push your hateful, ignorant, blind obedience to shun to conservatives, using what you believe to be Christian morality as a weapon against what you see as ignorant religious fools.

But conservative Christians aren't the same as your complacent liberal sheep. They do not demand perfection or death, like your familiar communist environment. They demand repentence and correction. They seek Grace and forgiveness. They revere learning and understanding.

Those are the people you are telling to shut up, stop learning, not to read, not to understand, not to decide for themselves and not to disagree with what youve decided their moral judgment should be.

And that's why I'm laughing at you.

The description of Malcolm X as a gay prostitute is not mine. Just google the terms, and you can find it in many places.

Understand where the words you defend come from, and you may instead discover that the philosophies that you defend are derived from overt hustling practices common to gay prostitutes. And typical of a person who has no honor, Malcolm X turned his back on the support group that helped him the most, the Nation of Islam.

The oldest confidence trick in the world is telling you just what you want to hear to gain your allegiance, same as we’ve all heard from Obama. All I’m asking you is to just recognize it when you see it (Matthew 10:16 “Be wary as snakes..”)

The words I defend are Malcom X's teaching of conservative principles.

So has it come down to that? Are you saying that conservative principles are derived from the morality of gay prostitutes?

Well?

We’ve seen a generation of hustlers talking conservative principles, in order to lure voters to elect or re-elect them, only to turn tail once they are in office again.

Consider “build the dang fence” John McCain, compared to his current pro-illegal-immigrant amnesty efforts. Other examples include RINO’s of that sort.

It’s the morality of the person espousing what you want to hear, that needs to be examined rather than taking words at face value alone. And when a person has engaged in gay prostitution, their words alone are not enough to convince me, regardless of how much they say what I may want to hear.

And what is your morality, so that I may properly judge your words?

Because what you are really saying is that if a person has not lived a perfect life, they can never speak the truth.

That if someone who has ever sinned speaks the truth, that the fact that they are speaking the truth is irrelevent. Even more that it should not even be listened to, or heard, or evaluated.

Like I asked, who are you to apply such a standard? Personally, I mean - since according to you, unless you can show you have lived a perfect life, your words are garbage, even if they are the truth. Which would in turn mean that this standard of moral perfection of yours is garbage, without proof of your perfection. So - where is it?

You argue like a child. The only power you have is to keep hitting the post button.

That Bible you use as a prop also has Jesus telling those who are without sin to cast the first stone. You might want to look it up, because it basically destroys your entire premise.

Oh, and you still did state that conservative principles are derived from the moral standards of the hustling of a gay prostitute. And you still haven't clarified how, exactly, you can justify such a statement. Or does it come from a moral perfection only you have, so that no one else can see it?

Answer.

You must consider the source when evaluating any words as the basis of a philosophy you would defend.

There are gradations of sins, from a “white lie” told to another intended for their protection, to intentional genocide based on some identifiable aspect of a group.

What Malcolm X did was more of the latter than the former,
particularly when he characterized persons he never conversed with as “white devils” for the purpose of recruiting and retaining power from individuals associated with the Nation of Islam.

Before Malcolm X was in a position to make those statements publicly, he was a criminal and a gay prostitute, both of which are professions that are contrary to the Christian morality you write of. However, they are consistent with prison-based recruitment by the Nation of Islam.

Knowing that, is this the sort of person whose words are to be defended here? I argue: Absolutely not!

What is your definition of a News Service? The professional pimps at MSNBC, CNN, or even Fox (pimping for Murdoch)? While you pine for the glory days of the dinosaur media, many of us praise the independent spirit of the new media.

Good job, Gary! Glad to have you in the trenches. Welcome back to the dark side where morals and principles and plain hard work rule. Lol

I do? How do you figure that?

Yes, stealing MSM stories - re-wording them - and posting them on a blog is an awesome talent.
