It’s the brand name that”Gas-X” goes by in South Africa. Sort of like how Burger King is Hungary Jack’s in Australia.

As they say, if you want to make a conservative mad, tell him a lie. If you want to anger a liberal, tell him the truth.

I’m not sure why Republicans want to claim MLK as one of their own. He was an anti-war Christian Socialist. (Yes, he was a Republican at one time...but went farther and farther left during the 60s)

Found this in Wikipedia relating to Sr.

“In October 1960, when Martin Luther King, Jr. was arrested at a peaceful sit-in in Atlanta, Robert Kennedy telephoned the judge and helped secure King’s release. Although King, Sr. had previously opposed Kennedy because he was a Catholic,[citation needed] he expressed his appreciation for these calls and switched his support to Kennedy. At this time, King, Sr. had been a lifelong registered Republican, and had endorsed Republican Richard Nixon. King, Jr. made no endorsement,”

Natl' Black Repub Assoc MLK a Repub

In her article, "A Covenant With Life: Reclaiming MLK’s Legacy", his niece, Dr. Alveda C. King, affirms that her uncle Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican

Remember that back then this wouldn't have been odd as the Dems were blocking civil rights.

I think its a new subatomic particle. It annihilates logic when it comes in contact with it.
