Piss Off! You can’t even spell! It’s dual, not duel.
He lost his Canadian citizenship the first time he voted in the USA! That is Canadian Law.
‘You are making a collisial mistake puttin all your eggs in one basket.’ Did your 4 year old write this one?
“My point - and flame on, I don’t care - is no matter how great they were, they were human, and thus flawed, sinful, etc. I would also add because King was black, doesn’t mean we don’t have to honor him, too. His niece, BTW, kicks butt and is great to listen to.”
I suspect that if MLK had lived on we would never have elected this President and the life of the average African-American would be a lot better today. James Earl Ray gave us the race baiting and race hustling world we all are suffering from today.
Flawed as he was he was the right man for the time and the need.

"The conclusion reached from reading King’s works is that he denied three essential tenants about Jesus Christ: 1) his virgin birth 2) his bodily resurrection, and 3) his deity."
Truth can be stated by imperfect people. The statement that “all men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights. . .” That is truth, even though spoken and penned by a flawed human being, even though some acted in ways that violated the principles stated in the Declaration.
Dr. King’s contention that America should be a place where we “judge people, not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character” is absolutely true. I don’t know if all the accusations against King’s character are true, but he did say some truth that we needed to heard at the time.
In fact, much of what he stood for, like equality before the law without preferential treatment or disadvantage based on race, non-violent change and working within the law, that America simply abide by the principles espoused in our founding documents - all these things are disregarded by today’s so-called civil rights advocates.
So, is King a saint? Certainly not. Did he speak some truth that needed to be said? Absolutely. I honor that part of his memory.
I'm pretty sure Trump will chime in as well.
But Trump, the lifelong pro-choicer, won't be quoting Alveta King.
Well not quoting quoting Alveta King will be to his credit.
If Martin Luther King had lived, he'd be Obama's loudest supporter. And if he criticized Obama at all, it would be because Obama isn't quite radical enough.
"Martin Luther King the conservative" is a dishonest myth that really needs to die. King was an outright Communist sympathizer at the peak of the Cold War.
The “truth” that MLK is most know for is his faulty and vague denouncement of “discrimination”, which means “freedom to choose” - a God-given right - and his usefulness in helping the federal government to assume more unconstitutional power against individuals’ freedom to choose.
Not a lot of “truth” there.
I take it you are pro abortion.
Expected better from Cruz.
The Federal war against "discrimination" is essentially a Federal war on freedom of association. A private business reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason, even if that reason is unfair or irrational.
You can take it if you want. It certainly has nothing to do with MLK’s flawed legacy or that MLK Day is probably our only politically correct national holiday.
MLK Day is probably our first politically correct holiday. How I hate it.
What will it take to get Washington’s and Lincoln’s birthdays back as nation holidays and bag this PC crap?
In the First Amendment, know as “freedom of assembly.”
One of many utterly unconstitutional incursions of the feds into our individual rights and freedoms using whatever excuse they can get away with whether it is the counterfeit “Incorporation Doctrine” or the equally flawed legacy of MLK.
Cruz speaks of justice, Trump on the size of his crowd. One is a serious candidate with ideas of liberty the other can’t stop talking about himself.
Sounds rather close to who Mo taught. Which is not surprising.
It’s said that of the prostitutes he beat (while he was married, btw), he took especial pleasure in beating, degrading, and humiliating white prostitutes especially.
Michael King is not to be lauded. He wasn’t even a minister.
Presidents Day.
Labor Day.

How long till the trumpettes start praising Saint Trump?
Same comment. I’m at least consistent.
