Did you ever see the movie about the Founders and Ben? I believe it was made back in the late 80s. He was sleeping at the Constitutional Convention and they couldnt wake him... until they told him they were going to a pub to eat... and there would be whiskey and women... he was up and out the door first!The movie in question is 1776, and it wasn't the Constitutional Convention; it was the Second Continental Congress in the days leading up to the adoption of the independence resolution and the Declaration.

he was a sinner that did a very great thing - he helped usher in the momentum of nonviolent opposition to folks that want to heavily oppress you Excellent post yours! Whether one agrees that there should be a MLK Day or not, it's worth considering the good MLK did, at least once a year.
I'm not equating MLK with the men of D-Day, but on June 6th of every year, I stop and think about the D-Day invasion for a moment or two. I think about the bravery of all those good men.
On June 6th I really don't care to consider how often Eisenhower cheated on his wife.

To: If You Want It Fixed - Fix It
I agree with much of what you said but sadly, the MLK legacy are those crime and poverty ridden urban streets that bear his name. If you end up on Martin Luther King Boulevard in any major city, it means you have taken a wrong turn and need to get the hell out of there! Lock your doors, roll up your windows and pray you don't run out of gas or have a mechanical failure.
I always thought that was so ironic. That such a man of peace and nonviolence would have the meanest street in the city named after him.
To: glorgau
His name is even plagiarized. He was born Michael King.

Lol, that’s true. All the things that MLK, Jr. was are badges of honor to the lefties. Good point.
To: pfflier
I think his father changed both his name and his son's when MLK, Jr., was 7 years old...so MLK, Jr., doesn't deserve any blame on that score.
I think Ralph Abernathy published a book which was very open about MLK, Jr.,'s many adulteries...including on the night before he was shot, I believe.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Nor is Constitution Day (9/13) recognized as a National Holiday. In other words, we're supposed to believe that MLK is somehow more important than the US Constitution or any President, statesman, or military commander in US History.
Coming soon to the roster of national holidays: Cesar Chavez Day!
To: laweeks
“...Must have gone to a public screwel...”
Yes you must have... because I was pointing out to 2ndDivVet that instead of saying “individual” he should say only AMERICAN. And yet you have to jump in with a snotty comment because you did not read the whole thing.
To: nvscanman
“...Columbus was Italian...”
Maybe you should read my whole comment and the one I was replying to because that is exactly what I was saying.
