in letter from a birmingham jail martin luther king wrote, a just law is a manmade code that squareswith the moral law or the law of god. an unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. by dr. king's conditions, gay rights laws are unjust laws out of harmony with the moral law. >> guest: that is exactly right. and i am a natural law conservative. a believer of thomas aconfinuus- aquinas. he wrote a letter from a birmingham jail that is perfectly consistent with what i believe, which is with regard to the african-americans, for example, they are children of god and they have a soul and under the constitution they have equal constitutional rights as all of us and as christians you have to treat people with decency and dignity. i was at the march on washington. i was up in the lincoln memorial. and i was right up there when dr. king was there. and peter, paul and mary were up in there. i talked to -- what was it the fellow from -- i'll think of it. the civil rights leader the entire time. and lena modern was there. -- lena horne was there. and i got my brother -- i th

did the stigma get attached to dallas but not to los angeles are meant this necessarily where martin luther king died by yet in dallas there was a feeling among many letter writers let they themselves were ashamed and felt very strongly the people in dallas would be blamed. one letter from a woman predicted most persons outside the state will bitterly feel it could have only happened in texas. but in fact,, that feeling was widely shared with a sense of shame across the nation. and in the strange ways, people tried to get ahold of this event by looking at their own lives, and a variety of factors come a one-man roach i feel in some way i could have been at fault. each night i used to pray for your husband to protect us but last night i stayed out late and went to bed without say my prayers. when i heard this about our great leader i was so sorry i did not pray. i will never do that again. god help me. >> but the sense of acute responsibility that many folks felt comes across very clearly. >> my dear mrs. kennedy i have never written to a congressman or any type of statesmen in my third years of

martin luther king's statement is a clear statement of natural law philosophy. .. americans from the second world war in the u.s. the expulsion crimes against the germans in eastern europe. and i had a specific question, you raised -- mr. putin for his declaration at katyn. but putin though in itting the russians committed the crime does not -- admitting the russians committed the crime does not apologize with the german soldiers executed for having committed the crime nor does he ever apologize for the rapes and murders that took place during the i think it is talked about the 3 million rapes across germany. >> the red army. you are exactly right. putin, is a russian nationalist. and the crimes and atrocities of the red army as it raped its way across eastern and central europe, hunt gary and germany were appalling. the german... the peak written by alfred desais, later >> all of these areas just moved and driven out to in massive day trail of tears that many did not survive. the greatest exodus in history and gets virtually zero notice but a friend of mine wrote

into my classroom and they know a lot about mississippi and alabama and they don't know that martin luther king jr. gave i have a dream speech to a couple of books in washington in detroit. they don't know about southern activism and in the state of michigan it was won in 1972. maybe nice to have the big public flash. our main goal was to try to focus on how we teach undergraduate students. we reach out to students and professor and teach in the civil rights movement in the broader way of the realignment, not just as one region taken over the country, but for the whole country back into the story. >> interesting, also, the camp is very affected by the affirmative action. so the students still feel the debate because it was focused on their schools. >> when it happened, it was amazing on campus. several thousands went to washington. it was a big deal. that was at the time of campus. i think it's calmed down a bit at the university of michigan. the students don't have first hand memory. i think there are a lot of myths about affirmative action really is. when i teach the students, the one thing i

people used to call martin luther king. they were also calling him the moses figure. he was saying that the previous generation exemplified by joe and john was the moses generation. they suffered for us and they have brought us this far but the journey is far from complete. we are the joshua generation. you can easily follow this biblical metaphor where it's going. i in the speech, i am the head of the joshua generation. it is an act of great rhetorical gull to say this. again, barack obama not lacking for self-confidence. but he is running for president. to get the democratic nomination, it would be nice if he got the black vote. the clintons, remember, at that time, had an enormously deep relationship with many african-american leaders and the population in general. i mean, you know, some people not. but certainly, i mean the diverse population and it is. but obama would not assume the black vote. that's where the vocabulary comes from. the joshua generation of politicians as they talk about and others include the president mayor of philadelphia or alabama arthur da

at some point i read an amazing sermon by martin luther king, which he wrote right after the montgomery bus boycott. basically, he said, don't get on the bus full of braggadocio because you still have to live with these people. and i kind of realized that was the sort of political action that i wanted to be part of. i wanted to recognize the dignity of living. sarah and i did finally have one final clarification over these issues or rather i did since by then she was gone. i had written a book of reflections called "the end of time." it was not a political book. but did talk about the illusions that had possessed my youth and did so in terms that were uncompromises and without nuance and inadvertently struck at my daughter's faith. what i had learned through the most painful experiences in my life, i wrote, was to pay attention to the differences. it was a lesson at odds with the moral teachings that have come down to us across the millennia. all of the prophets, moses, jesus, buddha, the hindu gurus, however different we may look and act we are one high and low, strong and weak, virtuo

forever, this metaphor of moses and leading people out of a promised land and people used to call martin luther king but they weren't calling -- they were calling him our moses figure. the previous generation represented by john lowry and most of the generation they suffered for us. and they have brought us this far. but the journey is far from complete. we are the joshua generation. you can easily follow the biblical metaphor where it's going. and i implicitly in this speech -- i am the head of this joshua generation. it is an act of great rhetorical gal to say this. and he did. again, barack obama not lacking for self-confidence but he is after all running for president and to get the democratic nomination to get the vote. and the clintons if you remember, had an enormously deep relationship with many african-american leaders and the population in general. some people not and it was a diverse generation and a whole range of public opinion. obama could not assume the black vote so that's where that vocabulary comes from. and the joshua generation of politicians, as gwen ifill talks about and others

seuss's heartless for experts martin luther king and it's a civil right movement of the 1960 in the 1970 this sense of urgency@@@ @ 3 all greens are nothing more than close the socialist and you are use it as an increase of government control over your lives and that's what you really want by the way. they believe that government's environmental programs are bad for business, because more often than not, government's environmental programs are expensive. they also are a rights-based approach, but they don't prey upon the altar of environmental rights, they prey been the altar of property rights and they believe your property rights trump my environmental rights. their holy trinity is that of technology, free markets and economic growth. they believe that the free market can give us more quickly and more efficiently what the government promised us and often fail to deliver, which is a clean environment. they believe that pollution is simply a phase and we're going to outgrow it, and that the trick to environmental protection is growing our economy. that we will somehow grow ourselves gree

martin luther king. and when does the government become so tyrannical that you overthrow it?well, i got my great, great, two of my great grandfathers tried to leave the government of the united states and secede and one of them ended up in vicksburg, and the other one and it up in a yankee prison. and he was captured in atlanta by sherman. and did he have a right to secede? many people thought of the time the states did, the other half didn't. and now there's no longer a right to secede because the issue has been decided by this word. but do i believe that today we should engage in violence? no. i don't believe so at all. to overthrow the government, no. i do -- can people secede, state secede? no, because the divisions in this country are very great. they are in communities. i do believe what's taken place there, peter, and this individual may be an example of it, a secession of the hard. people are seceding from one another in america. they have no longer have the things in common. this is what i like about the '60s, and they use an example of maybe people baby unhappy abou

. >> i used to work in an emergency room, what martin luther king washington hospital and was not allowed. and i hated to see the gunshot wounds. so i had a very good solution. i found that most of our, a lot of our gunshot wounds came from places called nickerson gardens. so i had an idea that we could make things very easy in a day if we just blew up a nickerson gardens. [laughter] >> that would take a lot of weight off of us. but a friend of mine lived, a friend of mine lived only a few blocks am nickerson gardens. and we're going to play tennis. and he said he wants to stop over at nickerson gardens. and it was early in the morning. it was time for people to go to work. but we went over there. i looked and it was interesting. no one was heading to work. there were a couple of people hidden in the back, the back a hidden to the liquor stores. but no one was heading to work at all. and so i went over and said i never saw anyone heading to work. i didn't see people coming back home from work. and so that kind of changed my impression about nickerson gardens. and i said when i was young a

civil rights, supporter of civil rights act and equal rights and he would have marched with martin luther king jr. and want s wan he is supportiv. there is a double standard at play here. when rand paul anticipated he would be able to engage in a discussion, he being a libertarian-leaning constitutional conservative, being able to engage in the discussion with a tv character, media personality who perhaps had an agenda in asking the question and then interpreting his answer the way that she did, he wanted to talk about evidently some hypotheticals as it applies to impacts on the civil rights act, as it impacts or constitution. so he was given the opportunity finally to clarify. unequivocally he stated that he supports the civil rights act. >> chris: do you see some similarities to what politicians and the press did to you in the fall of 2008? >> yeah, absolutely. so, you know one thing we can learn in this lesson that i have learned and rand paul is learning now is don't assume that you can engage in a hypothetical discussion about constitutional impacts with reporter or a media personality wh

they have arias had a sense, roger ailes who is a long supporter of civil rights and martin luther king. he understands the nature of who americans are and that was an offer that was very generous five years ago. i am honored to be associated with them, clearly the influence of fox news has increased over time for a reason. even if you disagree with some of what you hear, you know you were getting people telling you the truth on both sides effectively. i would love to do something more regularly within that framework. i suppose it would be great if viewers called up oxon said that they would like to see me more. i certainly could probably serve that but we have all grown up with television. it is clearly in our fast-paced world, if we are lucky we are working. maybe you are working two jobs and trying to raise your family. you know as an american is your responsibility to save the country. .. ar and we do need to do what all. television, cable and the new social media and i have seen well writing and books was imperative is that they are always there. the work that i have done over the

this metaphor of moses and meeting people out of the promised land and people used to call martin luther kingwhen they were not calling him dimora they were calling him the moses figure. he was saying that the previous generation exemplified by joe lowry and john lewis was generation. they suffer for us and they have brought this far but the journey is far from complete. we are the joshua generation. you can easily follow the biblical metaphor where it is going. and on the implicit in the speech and ahead of the joshua generation. it is an act of great rhetorical goal to say this and he did. again, not lacking self-confidence but he is after all running for president. and to get the democratic nomination it would be nice if he got some portion of the black vote. and the clintons, remember at that time they had an enormously deep relationship with many african american leaders and the population in general. some people not but certainly it is a diverse population. a whole range of political opinion. but obama couldn't assume the black vote so that is where that vocabulary comes from. and the j

martin luther king. there is much needed. little boy, my mother would tell me that when things became a stranger in my family, a little thunder but comes before every rainbow. her wisdom has an application to politics, too. it is urgent to win the current medals for unemployment compensation, financial reform, the heart and education jobs, to mill local jobs and to help veterans find jobs. their passage will make a difference for millions of families living on the edge. a trade union friend of mine said to me a few years ago, call sometimes, a piece of legislation only makes an inch of difference." don't forget, he went on to say," a lot of people live on that inch." also, without small incremental changes like financial reform, it is difficult to make big changes. to stay with the wall street example of turning out a financial system into a democratically-run public utility. i got a kick out of sand -- republican senator mitch mcconnell. earlier this week, he was talking about the negotiations going on in the senate over the

we think as conservative radicals we ought to follow the example of martin luther king and use those tactical principles. i have updated a lot of these rules we used in starting the tea party movement back on february 27, 2009. the very first oral is 85% right and clich van blight and slow, so that's one of the rules. i have 16 rules and we used line of them but the general idea is rules were collaborative, consensus, development, action projects and self organizing groups. that is what we try to do. >> so you are marking february 27 as the first day and that is because? >> while on february 27, 2009, the group, the nation wide tea party coalition sponsored and organized 51 tea parties across the country so that was really quite a number of people there so we did it within a day and week of the famous rand on february 19th, 2009 and the day after that on february 28 eric odim put together the taxpayer 230 website and we kept doing what we've been to be using conference calls and twitter and so the radicals really outline the techniques that we use starting. some are also supposed to

, the threat of a flu pandemic, and as if that was not enough, even a pirate attack, but as martin luther king once said -- the ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands at a moment of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at a time of controversy and silence, and in these times, a controversy and challenge -- controversy and challenge, and in these times, we have seen a president who has stayed calm in the storm. he keeps his sense of humor in the face of attacks. he never stops facing our most difficult problems, even when it would be easiest to leave them for another generation. the actions of president obama these past 16 months have not only taken leadership. they have taken courage. it took courage to work to achieve something no president has been able to do in 100 years -- pass health care reform. [applause] we stood up to the insurance companies, and we said, you will no longer leave us when we are sick, and think about what that will mean for seniors who have affordable prescription drugs and what it will mean for our children who can now stay on their parents' policies

there was a boycott in the state of arizona when the state refused to recognize martin luther king jr.'s birthday as a holiday. there was a similar discussion. essentially, people coming together and taking an action allowed that to come forward. we hope that this a lot can be remedied through those actions. host: our next call comes from dave in austin texas. caller: i have a question on immigration. with everybody getting together and representing that illegal immigrants that are coming to the country, why isn't any of this going on in mexico itself? also, what would be wrong with us having the same immigration rules that mexico has? guest: i do not know what immigration rules mexico has because i am an american and trying to fix our system. i agree that if there were better economic conditions in many other countries, probably most folks would choose to stay home. but we have of very powerful magnet here, jobs. if you look at what has happened with the flow of immigration, you will see that as jobs disappeared over time, that flow started to diminish. right now, the pressure is off

what was martin luther king jr., dr. king was an ordained christian minister. the church has been behind the great movements here in america. and now, we're discriminating against it? we're saying what you believe in a christian church so offends us, not only are we not going to fight to the death for your right to believe what you believe and say what you want to say, we're going to destroy you and keep you from doing anything publicly that you want to do in observing your religion. how did we go so wrong? abraham lincoln struggled with this terrible war that was going on because he believed in a just god and yet this thing was going on and so many brothers and sisters were dying and it was a terrible thing and that's why he said in his second inaugural, how do you reconcile this? both read the same bible and pray to the same god and each invokes his aid against the other. but he goes on and he says, if we shall suppose that american slavery you might substitute in there abortion, american abortion is one of those offenses which in the prove nance of god must

martin luther king, here are some reasons why we can't wait. another year of dismissals will add to the 13,500 who have already been fired under the law since 1994. another year will reduce the ranks of mission critical troops and ling wists harm -- linguists harming our national security. another year will mean we will continue to allow young patriots to lose their lives for us but not allow them to live the lives they choose. our troops agree, our allies agree, and most in our nation agree. we must repeal this policy now. dr. king wrote the time is always right to do what is right. madam speaker, that is why we can't wait. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from south carolina rise? mr. wilson: i ask permission to address the house for one minute. revise and extend. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, so ordered. mr. wilson: madam speaker, while they are courageously serving our great nation overseas, america's brave men and women in uniform are receiving sweet treats from so

"the new york times" this morning has a poll on how americans feel about immigration. the public probably agrees across party lines that the united states could be doing more across its borders to keep out illegal immigrants. this view was shared by 78% of those responding. unity fractures on a question of what to do with illegal immigrants who are already here and the role of states. tennessee, don on the line for independents. what do you think? caller: i would be in favor of some term limits on these judges in the supreme court. i cannot believe that only nine people of a nation of 300 million can properly interpret the constitution at all times, especially when they are in question as much a
