He’s the only individual who has a national holiday named after him. Presidents Washington, Lincoln and the rest were rolled up into President’s day.

Adulterer, Communist sympathizer, pliagiarist, serial liar. MLK, Jr. Day is as phony a holiday as is Kwanza. Thankful I’m working tomorrow.

+++++++++++===================
Not quite....
We used to get a Holiday for Lincoln Feb 12 then Washington Feb 22. When King was ‘so awarded’ they combined them.
Va went so far as to name Lee Jackson day to coincide with MLK.

When they first honored ‘MLK’ day it was warned that one day ‘they’ would use MLK the same as GW an Lincoln as caricatures for Sales....

This year some group was suing because ‘they’ had MLK sporting a Crown and looking like a Mad Ave pitchman.

He is the only AMERICAN to have a national holiday. Columbus has a national holiday too.

Some states follow the cult of Cesar Chavez. An article in Breitbart News gives the rest of the story about Chavez and helps us understand why Obama has been pushing for the holiday that is commemorated in a few states to become a national holiday.

The truth hurts. King was no hero. Just another pawn.

My opinion is, there is a MLK day, for one reason, and I think we know what that is. I do not plan to do anything differently then I normally do.

spent the last night of his life

To be fair, he probably didn't know it would be the last.

From what I've heard the gal he spent it with wasn't one of "His" people, it was just the way he rolled.

I saw the other day that Oliver Stone wrote a screenplay for an MLK movie that includes the adultery... the MLK estate is vetoing it.

Actually, Washington’s Birthday is still a federal holiday if you go look up the actual federal law on the books.

“President’s Day” is a term used by the national media and advertisers, and, unfortunately, some state governments.

The reason Martin Luther King CHEATED on his wife is because “He had a dream.”
