    And Now

    I guess Hillary doesn't realize that the ultimate manifestation of King's "Dream" and Johnson's pushing the Civil Rights Act would be a Black President. Her arguments of what previous White Men have done as president, to further civil rights only serves to reinforce this obvious fact.

    I haven't chosen my candidate, yet (no one's addressing what may be considered my "one issue", restoring the Constitution), but Hillary's arguments aren't persuasive concerning civil rights. What's her stand on Civil Liberties, that affect us all?
