The real measure of a man is what is in his heart, and that he act on it. The most closely held beliefs of King differ greatly from those on the left.

King held moral absolutes. The left says it's all relative.
King was pro-life. The Left is pro-covenience.
King was an evangelical and believed in a literal interpretation of scripture. The left believes it's all rubbish.
King didn't believe it was right to steal. The left believes in taking what is not there's.
King believed in a "hand up". The left believes in a "hand out".
King believed in helping those who need help. The left says leave them in the torture chambers for Saddam.

One does not have to wonder very hard as to how the revisionist has turned these facts on their heads and how none of this is being taught today in our schools--especially, not in any inner city or areas heavily populated by minorities.

As Robert Caro pointed out in his extensive biography of LBJ, shortly after signing the 1964 Civil Rights Act, in a phone conversation (on tape at the LBJ Library) with Senator Richard Russell of Georgia, LBJ said, "That'll keep the niggars voting Democrat for the next 200 years." That is just part of it.

The real secret is the penetration of the Democrat Party in the early 20th century by Communists. Learn more about their techniques, their goals, and their overall strategy for taking over the USA and dominating the world. They have achieved many of their aims through the Democrat Party.

Google "Psychopolitics" and "Communist Goals". Read Thomas Fleming's book, The New Dealers' War, the war within WWII and most anything by David horowitz. Fleming shows that through the influence of the Communists in FDR's inner circle, including his wife Eleanor, many of the decisions before and during WWII were made to assist Joseph Stalin and the USSR, including the decision to enter the war.

I am not a conspiracy kook, a name applied to too many (not me) who get too close to the truth, but I have lived through much of it and watched it unfold.

Bernie Goldberg put this the best. The democrats and a few black leaders got together and took the Civil Rights movement, admittedly, one of the greatest "moral" movements of the US in the 20th century, and turned it into a political movement.

All these points mentioned above don't matter because the moral cause is lost and politics is what is left. That is why a guy like the Rev Jesse Jackson, who understands what the moral history of abortion is about, turns a blind eye to the abortion crowed in the democractic party. If he championed life causes, the democrats would cut him off.

Interesting facts. DUmbass lurkers will want to put their fingers in their ears and yell La La La La...

I have always been amazed at how someone with their head up their ass can still reach their ears.

For security reasons, so as not to shake the foundation of their very existence, they use a redundant system. :-)

The dog in this artice that didn't bark is when blacks switched to the democrats and why they have been so eager to support that party against the interest of black advancement.

Oh, my head hurts, just thinking about that.

Now here are a load of facts and unrevised history you won't see on TV.
Or be taught in public schools.
And even some elite private schools.

Problem is that some of what is in this article is not entirely accurate. First of all, by the 1940s-50s, most Northern Blacks were Democrats (and some were drawn to radical Communist "Progressives" of the Henry Wallace/Paul Robeson vintage, of whom were the most vocal about Civil Rights), and had been that way since about midway through FDR's 1st term (Both Northern and Southern Blacks had stayed with Hoover in 1932, but began to shift following the 1934 defeat of the lone Black Republican in Congress, Chicago's Oscar Stanton DePriest, by a Black Democrat, Arthur Wergs Mitchell - the first ever elected to federal office). Another reason was due to the Democrat-run political machines in northern cities. If you were poor and Black, to align yourself with a minority party that was out of power meant you'd have little to gain (ironically, if that mindset were in place today, Blacks would be substantially Republican).

Southern Blacks, what few could vote, voted almost polar opposite to their Northern counterparts in support of Republicans, and did so all the way up until the 1960s (in my state of Tennessee, Black voters were part of a bloc that helped deliver the state to Nixon over JFK in 1960). The King family, of course, were Republicans because it was almost unthinkable for a Southern Black to be a Democrat up until that point. Unfortunately, once Southern Blacks started to register to vote in larger numbers, they almost uniformaly went to the Democrats.

Most puzzling was the comment about the March on Washington event organizer, Asa Philip Randolph being described as a "Black Republican." Randolph and his wife, Lucille, had been active in extreme left and labor politics and both had been Congressional candidates for the Socialist Party in 1924. If Randolph was a Republican, it would've been of the extremely left wing vintage. The NY GOP was vastly different in those days, even having candidates, such as Vito Marcantonio, whom eventually left to be the highest-profile American Labor Party member of Congress, was a Stalinist.

An interesting article, but not entirely well-researched.
