Despite some high sounding rhetoric, he promoted socialism. For that, I can never support him.
There is also the resentment on my part that none of our Founders have their own day, and ALL presidents -- good and bad -- are lumped into President's Day, yet MLK has a day all to himself. One that is not merely an acknowledgement of his efforts, but a national holiday. No thanks.

I have no doubt that if any of the millions who were sent to the gulags had been offered a choice of the camps or something equivalent to Bull Connor's Birmingham, they would have gleefully and enthusiastically chosen the latter.

It does seem a bit disproportionate, doesn't it?
Just curious, do you know if there's a Mahatma Gandhi Day in India, where all Government offices are closed? I honestly don't know.
