Alas, his dream approached fruition but has been kneecapped by those discovering its achievement inherently destroys the power they have in perpetual pursuit thereof.

You can’t climb a mountain when you’re on top of it.

Does anyone have that list of Marxist quotes attributed to King? I wished I had copied them earlier....

Freedom, human dignity and justice come from God.

They’re not given to us by the state but come from within.

And we’re asking to be judged our character and not by our appearance.

I think its a great speech that stands as a moving restatement of American ideals and a powerful appeal to human brotherhood.

Today, when we have the race merchants dividing us by race and color, its important to take note of what Dr. King for at the height of the civil rights movement.

We’re all Children Of God.

Then, behind him, Mahalia Jackson cried out: "Tell 'em about the dream, Martin." Jackson had a particularly intimate emotional relationship with King, who when he felt down would call her for some "gospel musical therapy".

Anyone who is a fan of Mahalia Jackson, and who has watched videos of her speaking or singing - can easily imagine the scene!

Sounds rather apocryphal. I would rather read the story that developed some years after MLK’s assassination. The near complete and utter destruction of the Black family.

William Sullivan, the FBI's assistant director of domestic intelligence, recommended: "We must mark him (MLK) now, if we have not done so before, as the most dangerous negro of the future of this nation."

That distinction belongs to someone who was barely two years old at the time. MLK was more interested in equal rights, hardly the makings of a dangerous man.

‘Judged by the content of their character...’

As with Obama, people insist that people are against them because of their race, rather than because of their behavior. Here’s something I received in email this morning:

These are facts the world must confront, speak of, and solve, political correctness be damned, as at least 124
other nations are also coping with this situation. This
is not racist. This is survival for the black, and all other races, and all ethnic groups and all nations.

WHAT IF ALL BLACKS SUDDENLY LEFT AMERICA

(THEY ARE 12.1% OF THE TOTAL US POPULATION):
The prison population would go down by 39.2%
There would be 54.3% less gang members
Obesity percentage would drop 11.4%
Average IQ would go up 7.1 points putting us 3rd in the world and tied with Japan
Average SAT scores would go up almost 100 pts (98.8 pts)
Average ACT scores would go up 6.4 pts
AIDS and HIV would go down by 68.6%
Chlamydia cases would go down 57.3%
Gonorrhea would go down 79.1%
Syphilis would go down 68.7%
The average income for Americans would go up over 26,000 dollars a year
Amount of people in poverty would drop 36.3%
Homelessness would go down 67.1%
Welfare recipients would go down by 50.1%
DEMOCRATS WOULD LOSE 70.1% OF THEIR VOTING BASE

A majority of criminal defense attorneys would have to find another line of work.
