And having an R next to his name somehow makes MLK a Conservative? So Robert ("Fighting Bob" La Follette) is to also be admired? Same with Jacob Javits? All leftists. All socialists -- as was "Reverend" Marxist Luther King, Junior.
And what exactly was MLK doing in Memphis back in 1968 when he wasn't cavorting with prostitutes? Marching on behalf of big government union goons. This so-called preacher had but one message -- the false doctrine of social justice. And need I add that MLK's best pals were commies.
Looking at the slick con job that was the Obama campaign, I think we have to look at the past with new eyes. Look at the way that John F. Kennedy was deified. Look at the worship of FDR.

What does the Bible say about the heart of man as being wicked and unfathomable?
