If is is another MLK holiday declared (added to the one we celebrate every year) GIVE ME A BREAK! Many of our nations hereos are not recognized. How selfish!! Next they will call for a Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton holiday- when pigs fly...
LOTT: I'm not sure we in America, certainly not white America and the people in the South, fully understood who this man was; the impact he was having on the fabric of this country.
GORDON: But you certainly understood it by the time that vote came up, Senator.
LOTT: Well, but...
GORDON: You knew who Dr. King was at that point.
LOTT: I did, but I've learned a lot more since then. I want to make this point very clearly. I have a high appreciation for him being a man of peace, a man that was for nonviolence, a man that did change this country. I've made a mistake. And I would vote now for a Martin Luther King holiday.
Don't speak too soon. I'm sure that's on their agenda. By "their" I don't mean the democrats either. This appeasment mentality is going to sink the Republicans. Can somebody please find a spine for them out there??
