Today is Martin Luther
King Day, set aside for the man
who spearheaded the Civil Rights movement, trying to make change through
peaceful means, for violence only breeds violence. He was the founder of a
revolution, but it was of words and pen and example that won the day, not
ammunition and weapons. It coincides with the inauguration of the second term
of Barack Hussein Obama, the first
African American President of the United States. That is where comparison of
achievement ends. BH Obama could not
hold a candle to Dr. King.
As Frice at Human
Events wrote in 2006, wrote of the Republican Party and civil rights:
... From its founding in 1854 as the anti-slavery party until today, the
Republican Party has championed freedom and civil rights for blacks. And as one
pundit so succinctly stated, the Democrat Party is as it always has been, the
party of the four S’s: slavery, secession, segregation and now socialism.
It
was the Democrats who fought to keep blacks in slavery and passed the
discriminatory Black Codes and Jim Crow laws. The Democrats started the Ku Klux
Klan to lynch and terrorize blacks.
The Democrats fought to prevent the passage
of every civil rights law beginning with the civil rights laws of the 1860s,
and continuing with the civil rights laws of the 1950s and 1960s. During
the civil rights era of the 1960s, Dr. King was fighting the Democrats who
stood in the school house doors, turned skin-burning fire hoses on blacks and
let loose vicious dogs. It was Republican President Dwight Eisenhower who
pushed to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and sent troops to Arkansas to
desegregate schools. …
Democrat President John F. Kennedy is lauded as a proponent of civil
rights. However, Kennedy voted against the 1957 Civil Rights Act while he was a
senator, as did Democrat Sen. Al Gore Sr. And after he became President,
Kennedy was opposed to the 1963 March on Washington by Dr. King that was
organized by A. Phillip Randolph, who was a black Republican. President
Kennedy, through his brother Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy, had Dr. King wiretapped
and investigated by the FBI on suspicion of being a Communist in order to
undermine Dr. King. In March of 1968, while referring to Dr.
King’s leaving Memphis, Tenn., after riots broke out where a teenager was killed,
Democrat Sen. Robert Byrd (W.Va.), a former member of the Ku Klux Klan, called
Dr. King a “trouble-maker” who starts trouble, but runs like a coward after
trouble is ignited. A few weeks later, Dr. King returned to Memphis and was
assassinated on April 4, 1968.
Not enough black Americans recognize this fact, even today. If
so, they would have seen through Barack
Hussein Obama’s facade when he was a US Senator from Illinois (ironically called
the Land of
Lincoln) and not voted for him in 2008 and especially see him “serve” a
second term.
With Martin Luther King,
there was no facade He was earnest and sincere, and sought understanding
between ethnic groups, dreamed of a unification of America. BH Obama has not unified
America, it has divided it, in the political tactic that was established in
ancient Greece by Alexander the Great’s father and used extensively in the
Roman Empire – Divide and Rule – Divide et impera.
Senator Barry
Goldwater ran for presidential office against LB Johnson in 1964, being
president because JFK was assassinated. It is ignored and not recognized that
Senator Goldwater’s goal if he became president was to stop the passing of
discriminatory laws and end the requirement of enacting federal civil rights
legislation. In President Johnson’s inaugural address he devoted only 35 words
to the civil rights issue and he did not mention voting rights. In 1967, angry
over Dr. King’s protests against the Vietnam War, Johnson was wrongly
attributed to referring to Dr. King as that
nigger preacher in the 2006
article. It was President
Harry S. Truman (Democrat) who called Congressman Adam
Clayton Powell that damned nigger
preacher. However, President Johnson was noted for breaking out into
profanity with words added like “nigger”. One example was when Johnson was
talking about his political career and his wife, Lady Bird …
I talk everything over with my wife. Of course … I have a nigger maid,
and I talk my problems over with her, too.
Richard Nixon, a
Republican was noted for making derogatory remarks concerning black Americans.
Martin Luther King Jr. was neither a Republican or Democrat, although his father was a member of the Republican Party. He was a promoter of peace and coexistence, equality, and moral character.
In memory of Martin
Luther King, who should have been the first black American president
instead of the liar in the Oval Office now, judging him by his character and
not his race – I present some of Dr. King’s notable quotations, my favorite:
Darkness cannot drive out
darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive our hate; only love
can do that.
Every man must decide
whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness
of destructive selfishness.
I have a dream 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.
Nothing in the world is more
dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.
He who passively accepts
evil is as much involved in it as he who helps perpetrate it. He who
accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.
A genuine leader is not a
search for consensus but a molder of consensus.
The ultimate measure of a
man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but
where he stands at times of challenges and controversies.
I believe that unarmed truth
and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why
right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.
To be a Christian without
prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.
I look to the day when people
will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their
character.
We must learn to live
together as brothers or perish together as fools.
Freedom is never voluntarily
given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.
If we are to go forward, we
must go back and rediscover those precious values – that all reality
hinges on moral foundations and that all reality has spiritual control.
Injustice anywhere is a
threat to justice everywhere.
The ultimate tragedy is not
the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by
the good people.
The hottest place in Hell is
reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict.
Whatever your life’s work
is, do it well. A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead,
and the unborn could do it no better.
Never forget that everything
Hitler did in German was legal.
The time is always right to
what is right.
I have a dream that one day
every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low,
the rough places will be made straight and the glory of the Lord shall be
revealed and all flesh shall see it together.
Today there is a disturbing movement.
A movement replacing the ultimate authority of God with the
delusional and false authority of government that no longer believes in self-government.
A movement is replacing one racist bias with that of another - against the philosophy of Dr. King.
A movement that promotes unconstitutional legislation and
policies enacted by those entrusted to operate OUR federal government and citizens
that follow like sheep or remains quite while the political elite perform their
evil acts.
A movement that falsely dictates and followers blindly
believe that the Founders and the Framers of the Constitution of the United
States and its amendments is “old school”; thereby be ignored because it is irrelevant
to modern issues. Wisdom is ageless, just as Truth is not to be ignored; no
matter if it was said 2,500 years ago, sixty years ago, or yesterday. Jesus of Nazareth, Cicero, Marcus Aurelius,
Francis Bacon, Thomas Jefferson, James
Madison, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Mark Twain,
Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy, Winston Churchill, Margaret
Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, and Ron Paul all spoke truth and wisdom. There will be present and future great thinkers and true
leaders as well. They will not and should not be considered passe'.
A movement where those that commit criminal acts or ethical
transgressions use their office and race to counter accurate and truthful
accusations, thereby using race as an excuse to do wrong.
A growing ideology where separatist ethnic groups demand
equality and respect, while offering none in return, and loyal to political and
racial organizations rather than their country as a nation and its people as
the sum of the whole.
A growing consensus insists that Americans be tolerant, as
our traditions and Constitutional amendment dictates, despite infiltration of
an intolerant and violent religion within the infrastructure of our government and
American society whose goal is totalitarian and theocratic global dominance
over the grave of freedom and liberty.
A growing consensus that our nation’s fall from grace as the
most just and constitutional nation is caused because of the articles and
amendments of the US Constitution are outdated and no longer apply; when in
fact, it is the falling away of constitutional law that has caused the despair,
woes and loss of freedom and liberties we face today.
A majority of people, who vote based upon what they view in
political advertisement and the word of the mainstream media – or just as
delusional, based upon the candidate’s ethnicity.
If Americans in 2012 (and 2008) would have listened to the
words and wisdom of Martin Luther King
and voted based on character, BH Obama
would not even held office as a US Senator of Illinois, maybe not even a community organizer.
Check out Human Events of how altered history has influenced the minds of Americans - ignoring truth. Sadly, the erroneous and historically incorrect statement was made at a memorial of MLK - who promoted truth and believed good character was important. But of course, we are talking about an American who sides with communists in Latin America over our nation's sovereignty and principles of freedom and liberty. Danny Glover is still reliving in the 1860s and 1960s. MLK statement of character does not apply to Mr. Glover.
Character does matter.
If a president commits adultery in the Oval Office, it is
not his private life, but
transgression against the ethical behavior of the President of the United
States.
If corrupt and unethical people are associates of a
congressional or presidential candidate, it is not prejudice to assume that the
candidate is without moral and civic character.
Barack Hussein Obama’s transgressions against the
Constitution of the United States and its amendments is not racial – it has to
do with his poor character; surrounding himself with staffers and czars of
equal lack of character.
Martin Luther King
is an example of good character, a man of wisdom, and conveyor of truth. If
history could be changed, America would have been far better to have the first “black”
President of the United States in the likes of Dr. King who believed in what is
inside a person and not what appears on the outside.
I am glad America has set aside a day for such a great
American whose life ended tragically and short of realizing his dream.
I have a dream 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.
