King was a plagiarist, an adulterer and was aided and abetted by communists. The changes that supposedly were effected by King, probably would have happened anyway due to the passage of the various Civil Rights acts by congress, and the willingness of the executive branch to use the National Guard to enforce integration upon the southland. King's message of non-violence as well as his message of looking beyond color are most often ignored by those who champion his cause the loudest.

I feel personally offended by the substitution of King day, for Washington and Lincoln. I think since race has been such a problem for this country, I would have an easier time if we had a day dedicated to the principle that all people are equal regardless of race, leave Washington and Lincoln's day the way they were, and leave it at that, but I'm sure that will happen when pigs fly.

Nice article detailing King and Communism links.

You jest? How likely do you think the Civil Rights acts would have been if King and others hadn't been beaten and jailed numerous times for their marches and civil disobedience? King definitely wasnt perfect but then who is? But he was willing to stand up for his beliefs and let himself be beaten and clubbed by racist cops in order to move towards his vision of equality.

It would help if we could somehow get people into the habit of calling "Presidents Day" by its rightful name, "Washington's Birthday."

The MLK holiday saved some lives. The earthquake which hit the L.A. area on January 17, 1994, was on the MLK holiday, which meant that the traffic on the freeways was unusually sparse for that time of day on a Monday. A few people were killed when part of a freeway collapsed; a lot more might have been killed if it had been a normal workday with heavy traffic.

And the new sweetheart of the neocons.

Funny isn't it?

It's like I am at the IRS auditors office, and everyone being audited thinks their taxes are fair and would like to pay more.

Insanity rules the day......

In short trash useful as an index of the sickness of the American people.
