Dr. Young certainly was true to his word about visiting schools whenever he had the opportunity. As a high school student in the early 1960's in Cleveland, Ohio, I had the opportunity to hear him speak at one of our assemblies at John Marshall High School. While many high school memories have faded I vividly remember his visit and the warm reception he received. Of course, this was many years before desegregation of the Cleveland Schools and our enrollment was only 20% African American. He made quite an impression on all of us.
Diane, you are my heroine in the world of talk radio. I try to never miss a show.
how do you resolve the tradition of Civil rights and Martin Luther King with you associations with global cartel banks such as JP Morgan and Bilderbergers such as John Kerry?
How can we resolve from with the slavery of the New World Order and any civli rights?
Diane,
Are you permitted to speak about these issues?
Stephen Colbert recently just mentioned the word Bilderberg on air and it raised a major ruckous. It the "name that shall not be spoken" so off limits to the public media that even journalists of your independant stature on NPR must kneel before their alter in complete submission?
Why does every serious discussion stop short of the root of the problem?
Is not such an omission an offense to the truth and ultimately playing a part in the smoke screen of reality?
I listened to and enjoyed Mr Young, great out of the box thinking. His young friend, not so much!
For his information, the trope, "You can accomplish anything if you don't care who gets the credit" was a huge favorite of R Reagan, and was I believe on his desk as a motto. The poem, Invicticus was chosen as the last words of Tim McVeigh before he was executed.
It is HIGHLY embarrassing to be listening to your liberal fluff (I voted Nader, but you people are like pansy pudding) for it's intellectual value, and be hit with a snot nosed kid who used foolish quotes from his child's throne of celebrity entitlement. You people always ruin decent liberalism with air-headedness.
I'll still listen, but it can be painful!
