resident Trump sent out a tweet today about signing the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Park Act:
"It was my great honor to sign H.R. 267, the 'Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park Act,' which redesignates the Martin Luther King, Junior, National Historic Site in the State of Georgia as the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park."
Who could have anything bad to say about this?
Enter the repulsive Left:
The world thanks you, Ruth Ann, for being all-knowing:
And a great thanks to the sinister, leftist media -- and the lemmings who follow it -- for continuing to spread suspicion against Donald Trump with regard to Russia, despite literally no evidence:
Also, note to Jason: in every election, millions of votes are made "null and void." It's called losing.
Another lemming:
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why we can't have nice things.
It’s your fault for turning the implicit subject to hero worship, as though we needed just some other earthly hero.
He’ll also have clay feet, only different.
I wish this could be said to 75% of freepers sometimes.
No one seeks to repeat it. We only seek to honor the sacrifice of the common soldier, our kin.
MLK was a human being and like all of us had flaws.
His most important contribution was the principle of judging people
by the content of their character not the color of their skin.
If that notion can be inculcated into the culture and into the human psyche,
it will more than make up for any flaws he might have had.
He was never a Republican. That myth has been debunked countless times. The sole claim was that he voted for Eisenhower once in 1956, but so did Democrat Congressman from NYC Adam Clayton Powell, Jr.
Deity sorry, just type better on the phone.
The “Fiery”?
I think it’s time for judgment to begin, and that with the house of God. The supposed real churches shouldn’t be complaining about MLK Jr. to excuse how flaccid and complacent they are.
I said I meant Deity.
The civil rights movement today, with few exceptions, has turned its back on MLK’s ideas.

Kearny? I know it well. I processed out of the Newark MEPS, when I went into the Army. I grew up the Hudson Valley, literally outside the gates of West Point. I have a lot of family members who wore Blue as well. My paternal Grandfather was a native Mississippian. As I got older, went South and studied the Constitution, I began to realize that everything I was taught in school, was a lie. I read the letters home from my Northern ancestors, and to a man they went to fight because it would be a “great adventure” and they didn’t want people at home to consider them cowards. There was no mention of saving the Union, freeing the slaves or anything of that nature. Contrast that with the letters home to Mississippi, Tennessee and Alabama from my Southern ancestors and they were “defending our homes and our families.”
Slavery would have died a natural death as Industry went further south. Was it worth 700,000 lives and the destruction of Southern cities? The North didn’t need slavery once it became industrialized and there was plenty of cheap labor pouring in to Boston, New York and Philadelphia, from Ireland, Italy and Germany. Abolitionists were considered zealots among the Northern population and the draft riots of 1863, simply illustrated how unpopular the war was.
In the end, the indisputable truth is that if Washington, Jefferson and Adams were right to rebel against a “duly elected” government in London, that was not invested in their interests, so were Davis, Lee, Stephens and Jackson. Yes, the batteries at Charleston fired up Sumter, just like the colonials fired on the redcoats on Lexington Green and Concord Bridge. To believe otherwise, is intellectual dishonesty.
I support President Trump and stand with him 24/7.
Um, sorry. It is not for bare political freedom we are placed on the earth.
I believe Donald has shown himself astute and wise. A mighty Spirit is moving on him.
The point shouldn’t be MLK himself here. He’s badly checkered at best. And I have lived among black Americans and never heard a one say “Let us live like MLK.” I have heard many express a wish that his “Dream” would come true.
In order for it to do so, a Deliverer is needed.
They weren’t rebelling against a duly elected government in London. They were rebelling against a degenerate monarchy that saw itself as given the right to rule by divine right of The Almighty. Sorry, all due respect but I don’t buy any of the apologies or rationalizations given by Southern apologists for the South starting the bloodiest war in American history. My ancestor who served with The Army Of The Potomac wouldn’t stand for it.
Parliament was duly elected. Nice try. And my ancestors won’t stand for their names being slandered.
Parliament serves at the pleasure of the Crown. Read the Declaration of Independence. The Colonists state their case against the King. Your ancestors provoked the bloodiest war in American history in the attempt to preserve an economy based on the use of slave labor and lost. If Davis and Lee had any sense or humanity they would have sued for peace after the debacle at Gettysburg. Instead they chose to continue the slaughter for another two years. If you can’t accept this then we have nothing further to say. Good day to you sir/Madame and God bless America.
And if your ancestors had any sense of humanity, Lincoln would have sued for peace after First Manassas or Sharpsburg or Fredricksburg or Chancellorsville. Or maybe just not invaded the South at all. Same to you, Sir.
