STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga. — State officials have confirmed that a monument to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. will be built “above and beyond” the monument that celebrate the heroes of the Confederacy on the gigantic rock at Stone Mountain Park.

According the Associated Press and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal has signed off on the project. Park officials said that an elevated tower — featuring a replica of the Liberty Bell — would celebrate the single line in the civil rights martyr’s 1963 “I Have a Dream” speech that makes reference to the 825-foot-tall hunk of granite: “Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.”

Raging PC stupidity.

[Vendome]

Seems like an idiotic place but, whatever

[Scrambler Bob]

I can tell you are tongue-tied.

That and ‘expletive deleted’.

Me too.

Someone pointed out on the original thread what a lightning magnet this will be.

MLK doesn’t deserve a monument anywhere. He doesn’t deserve to have any streets, schools, or anything else named after him. He was a plagiarist, an instigator of riots, a whoremonger, an adulterer, and a liar.

And the first time it’s hit and destroyed, evil republicans will be blamed. Well, them and the tea party, conservatives and bible thumping gun owners.

[tacticalogic]

It won’t be enough.

Where are they going to get a piece of coal that large????

I doubt it. He’s not an American hero nor does he stand for American values.

MLK is a symbol of unconstitutional government interference and usurpation of states and individual rights.

His emotional call for federal interference with “discrimination” has led to a parade of horribles. “Discrimination” simply means freedom to choose, every man’s birth right and protected by the Constitution against government interference and tyranny.

I see no reason for this idea to come to fruition and should not and I think will not happen.

Oh Well, It could be worse.

I actually expected that the PC crew was going to require that the Confederate monument be blasted off the mountain like the Taliban did to the Buddha statues in Afghanistan and the wholesale destruction of historical artifacts and structures that ISIS and the Muslim Brotherhood do wherever they gain power.

[Cowboy Bob]

Why can't they find their own mountain?

I guess because no one would bother to go look at it. They gotta parasite of the White man.

[KeyLargo]

Something like this? MLK above and war dead below?

[kingu]

Give it time, first they have to consecrate the location with their own temple, then they’ll blow the mountain.

[wardaddy]

Black capital of America

Man if whites left it would be cannibalism on a huge scale

[KeyLargo]

A place on Mt. Rushmore has already been set aside for Obama...

[LegendHasIt]

You are probably correct. :-(

“MLK doesn’t deserve a monument anywhere. He doesn’t deserve to have any streets, schools, or anything else named after him. He was a plagiarist, an instigator of riots, a whoremonger, an adulterer, and a liar.”

But he served the communist’s objectives quite well, and that’s all the anti-American left cares about.

In the 1960's and later, during the debate over establishing a Martin Luther King holiday, some conservatives tried to call attention to King's leftist radicalism but were brushed off as "racists." Now Cornell West, who is most certainly not a white supremacist or a conservative has come out with a new book, The Radical King (Boston: Beacon, 2014). West argues that King was, indeed, a revolutionary crusader against "global imperialism" and "every bit as radical as Malcolm X."
