“Imperfect”? If you’re going to call King an imperfect hero, you need to adopt the same terminology to describe every other leftwinger who shares those views.
MLK was a leftwing radical who called our troops war criminals. He said that the U.S. was the biggest purveyor of violence in the world. He supported reparations and redistribution of income.
He was no Christian, either. Aside from the fact of his documented participation in orgies, he denied the Virgin birth, the existence of hell and the Second Coming, and he believed Jesus “achieved” divine status through “moral struggle.”
So he called himself a Christian. So what? So does Nancy Pelosi. So does Obama.
It never ceases to amaze me how many conservatives have allowed themselves to be suckered into the mythology surrounding MLK.
Excellent post.
