I pray that this thread will be allowed great visibility. Many Americans would question voting for Obama knowing how a close relative of Martin Luther King, Jr., would vote.

WARNING! A vote for Obama is a vote for Socialism.
“An oppressive government is more to be feared than a tiger.” - Confucious

Obama and the law by Thomas Sowell is an article that exposes the type of courts and laws that Barack Obama wants for us. As Thomas Sowell writes “Do we really want judges who decide cases based on who you are, rather than on the facts and the law?”

Obama: Fundamental Change? Count on It by David Limbaugh provides a scary account of how Obama’s promised changes could lead to entrusting this man with unprecedented power, giving him a license to operate with minimum scrutiny and an opposition party effectively impotent to oppose his radical blueprint for America.

Obama and “The Left” by Thomas Sowell is an article that explores how some people who see the fraud in what Obama is saying are amazed that others do not. Sowell explains how Obama knows what con men have long known, that their job is not to convince skeptics but to enable the gullible to continue to believe what they want to believe.

Democrats Denounced Gen. Colin Powell as a “House Negro”. Before Gen Colin Powell adopted the Democratic Party’s socialist policies and endorsed Sen. Barack Obama, the Democrats denigrated him as a “House Negro.”

I am pleading with you to keep this as breaking.

Maybe the major news services will pick up the story...

When I worked at Priests for Life, I helped Dr. Alveda King with her laptop. Christian ministers are not necessarily "computer wizzes, and their time is better spent saving souls (and not laptops).

So please keep this on Breaking/Front Page...

I came across this great article the other day, and submit it for the perusal of all who might find it of interest. It is entitled: “Why Martin Luther King was Republican.” It was written a few years ago.

I'm afraid that Ms. King will be very much in the minority in her family. While most Blacks do not know it (and therefore what Ms. King cannot tell them) is that MLKJr. was not a "born-again chr*stian" at all but a preacher of the secular "social gospel." Alveda King is a "born-again chr*stian" which is why she differs with the rest of the family, but so far as I know the rest of the King family is solidly behind the entire leftist program, from abortion to homosexual "marriage."

The attempt to rehabilitate MLKJr. after his death and make him a conservative is, to my mind, a mistake (though understandable since it took Dr. King to do what should have been done decades earlier by Republicans). Just as white Fundamentalists have a need to see the Founding Fathers as "born-again" "spirit-filled" Baptists, so American Black Fundamentalists insist on believing the same thing about King. Unfortunately, while the deism and rationalism of the Founding Fathers has been exposed time and time again, the fact that both liberals and conservatives want the political support of Fundamentalist Blacks insures that his own liberal approach to religion remains a taboo subject.

Thank G-d for Alveda King, but she is very much isolated in her family, unfortunately.

I've often thought MLK would be in total disagreement over all Obama stands for.

MLK was a Republican. I heard him speak years ago in Chicago - there’s no way he would back Obama.

MLK was a Republican.

And MLK was a friend of Robert Kennedy.

Robert Kennedy was assassinated by Sirhan Sirhan.

Obama’s friend - Bill Ayers - the friend who helped Obama kick off his political carreer in the living room of his house - dedicated a book he wrote to Sirhan Sirhan.

The book was also dedicated to every cop killer in the country at the time the book was published.

MLK believed in non-violence. The Chicago civil rights movement didn’t even attend MLK’s speech in ‘64. They already thought they were better than MLK.

I don’t think he would have like Rev. Wright or Obama.

Could you use your ping lists for this thread...

It is somewhat old news, but maybe people will sent this out as emails: "Martin Luther King, Jr. close relative will not vote/support Obama but supports/votes McCain/Palin"...

Maybe if people realize a close relative of Martin Luther King, Jr., will not vote/support Obama, it might change some votes...

There is also the article where Dr. Alveda King comes out in favor of McCain/Palin...

There is the Freerepublic article:

Alveda King, Niece of Martin Luther King Jr, endorses McCain-Palin

That goes to the Philadelphia Inquirer article Black Leaders Support McCain

Excerpt from that article is:

...

But the most recognizable name is Dr. Alveda King, director of African-American Outreach, Gospel of Life Ministries, a niece of Dr. Martin Luther King.

"I am very excited about the McCain-Palin ticket, simply because they support the values that mean the most to me," Ms. King said. "It is a plus to me that Sarah Palin is a woman because I've been elected to office as a wife and mother. I've been appointed to office as a woman and at the time I was a mother and became a grandmother."

Ms. King said her experience taught her she could both be a good mother and still serve the public. This is something she has in common with Gov. Sarah Palin, R-Alaska, McCain's running mate.

However, the most important reason she is backing the McCain-Palin ticket is its commitment to the pro-life cause.
