I know people act like the left was different then than it is now, but it's really not. The biggest difference between then and now in the Democrat party is that it was once run by liberal politicians, and is now being run by total leftists, who trick liberals who wouldn't support their ideologies into voting for them because they're "in the same party." But the left has never ever been pro-minority. They do everything for votes.
You should care about what Thomas Sowell says because he has a background in quite a few different belief sets (Marxism included) and he studies actual history, something most leftists don't ever do.
Do you know who founded them, or are you just saying that?
He supported some socialist policies but not the entirety of the idea. Also Margaret Sanger was not always honest on her stances, so supporting her would not be much different than supporting LBJ or the left, which dupes black people.
Yeah, a biologist is always constantly rambling about theology (there's more of that speaking out of one's field again), but since he's so hostile to religion, he's smart and promotes science education. Since we can't physically see God, we should either consider both atheists and creationists as scientists, or neither should be (which makes no sense, but at least it's actually consistent [another word which never applies to the left or the science community]).
He actually did, and whether or not he did, would it really matter? He's certain plants and animal DNA are both obviously designed, while also certain there's no creator. And yet, he's an intelligent scientist.
Actually, anyone pulling Dawkins or Chomsky into a debate is appealing to illegitimate authority, since they both speak out of their field constantly. I do believe people treat MLK Jr as the ultimate authority a bit too much (don't get me wrong, i respect the man a lot) but he still was human and was susceptible to being tricked, just like all people; you and I included. And while I support racial equality and the whole "I have a dream" speech, I do believe he believed some wrong things.
However, I don't recall saying you did that in this conversation.
