Republicans are draft dodging, warmongering, anti-American liars. Those qualities will be passed on to their offspring.. America is doomed. Democrats are....I don't know what the hell democrats are.
martin Luther King was a Bigot and a trouble maker. He was an adulterer and embezzled money he was raising for his so called cause. He didn't give two shits about the cause he was fighting for. All he did was give reason to start the blacks on a racist rampage against the whites as a form of revenge. I say take away everything named after him!
"I have a dream that one day...little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers....on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood....that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." you're right, what a bigot...
While working on his dissertation for his doctoral degree at Boston University, he heavily plagiarized from another author who had done research on a subject similar to King's. An academic committee later found that over half of King's work was plagiarized, yet would not revoke his doctrine.
King was dead by this time, and the committee ruled that revoking the title would serve no purpose. It was also discovered that King's famous "I Have A Dream" speech was also not his own. He stole it from a sermon by Archibald Carey, a popular black preacher in the 1950's.
King was under FBI surveillance for several years (until he died) due to his ties with communist organizations throughout the country. King accepted money from the organizations to fund his movements.
CoIntelPro (Counter Intelligence Program) was a concerted effort by the FBI to infiltrate, smear, bait, and otherwise spread propaganda to discredit civil rights and peace groups. Considering your aversion to propaganda, I'm surprised you'd cite this well documented and subsequently shut down program as a reliable source.
In return, King had to appoint communist leaders to run certain districts of his SCLC (Southern Christian Leadership Conference), who then could project their communist ideas to larger audiences. A federal judge in the 60's ruled that the FBI files on King's links to communism to remain top-secret until 2027.
There were some communist individuals and groups that allied themselves with the civil rights movement. Being a communist is, and was, not a crime (though at the time it was detrimental to public opinion), because it is an ideology protected under the First Amendment. And don't cite it as treason, as we were at war with communist nations, not communism itself.
Senator Jesse Helms appealed to the Supreme Court in 1983 to release the files, so the current bill in the Senate to create the Martin Luther King Federal Holiday could be abolished. He was denied.
One of King's closest friends, Rev. Ralph Abernathy, wrote a book in 1989 in which he talked about King's obsession with white prostitutes. King would often use church donations to have drunken sex parties, where he would hire two to three white prostitutes, occasionally beating them brutally. This has also been reported by the FBI agents who monitored King. King was married with four children.
No other public holiday in the United States honors a single individual. Of all the great leaders in our Nation's history - none of them have their own holiday. All of our great war heroes share Memorial Day. All of our great presidents share President's Day. Yet King - a man who was a phony, a cheater, a traitor, and a sexual degenerate - gets a day of his own.
Accept Columbus Day, where we honor a genocidal, slave trading maniac who landed here 800 years after trade routes had been established from continents across the Atlantic.
Dr. King was a great man. Was he a perfect human being? No. Are you? The answer to that question is found within your comment. Name one man (or woman) in this nation's history who is more deserving of a holiday than Dr. King? You?
As a white heterosexual male, I feel like I belong to one of the more abused ethnic groups in this country today. Can I do anything about it? Absolutely not. If I dare speak out I'll get labeled a racist, harassed by the media, subsequently lose my job, and never be able to show my face in public again.
I don't think you're a bigot at all, and I understand the resentment one can feel toward a perception of being marginalized, but I'm sure you understand as well that we are in the middle of a natural backlash in that regard.
But what I will do is send out this email to as many people I know in hopes that when you're watching the news Monday evening, and you see our politicians falling all over themselves to be filmed in a black church somewhere, you might stop and ask yourself - what about us?
And how exactly is promoting pacifism and non violent resistance, in a movement infused with rage in the face of oppression, tantamount to sending "blacks on a racist rampage against the whites?" He PREVENTED a racist rampage. As far as his marriage goes, we are all imperfect, and his wife forgave him and loved him, so it's really none of our fucking business, is it?
How convenient of you, are you sure you are not a liberal. You seem to only point out the Positive things he said but fail to mention the bad. He incited many riots, he never tried to prevent black on white crimes, only white on black. Yes my friends he was a bigot. Like all liberals he was only after publicity
But most importantly at the time Martin Luther King was fighting for civil rights, civil rights was way ahead of him. He jumped on a band wagon to get publicity that his ties to the black panthers would not get him. Hey i am not saying he didn't have some good views but like all liberals it was one sided and mostly for publicity.
Like any rational person, I have some liberal beliefs and some conservative ones...it depends on the specific issue at hand. I don't see how an entire person can be labeled as one or another political philosophy. Liberalism stems from empathy, conservatism from rationality, and if you are all one of those things and none of the other, then you've got problems (not you specifically, "one")
Hilarious! Good job, bro!

Further more, you know that what you describe is not an exclusively liberal tactic, why do you consistently present it as such?
