Having the media celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday has a lot in common with Democrats remembering the birth of George Washington.
For starters the left has watered down the contributions of George Washington so much that we now celebrate Presidents’ Day instead. That means that we lump Jimmy Carter and Barak Obama in with George Washington and Calvin Coolidge. That pretty much makes it a joke. It is like taking the world’s finest chili and turning it over to a committee made up of a vegan, an anti-salt crusader and someone into organic foods.
Did MLK make a contribution to America? I am sure he did. I only have sound bites but the ones I have are very much in the spirit of what America should be. Do the people who claim to be champions of civil rights stand on his shoulders? No way. They have abandoned the principles that he espoused and sold American blacks back onto the plantation. To reach the same level that we reached on presidents we would need to rename it Civil Rights Leaders’ Day and lump in KKK leader and Democrat Senator Robert Byrd with King.
If America continues to move toward a socialistic workers’ paradise like the Democrats seem to want there will be a few of us who remember leaders like Washington and honor their memories. I trust we can now do the same for Martin Luther King Jr.
I hope they both are able to someday stop spinning in their graves.
