Where in my post is there anything about MLK Day.

The topic of the thread is right-wingers and their ludicrous attempts to link Martin Luther King Jr., to their decidedly un-King programs and policies.

Wow, do you really think that todays Democrats are the same as back then?

As been said before, the Democrats of then are the Republicans of today and the Republicans of then are the Democrats of now.

MLK was a radical, the complete opposite of a conservative. You guys conveniently embrace him, after he's dead. Yet you still reject his message of peace.

Well, Jesus Christ never trusted Government, much, neither.

Both were Government-slain conservatives.

Michael King was a plagiarist and a pervert and nobody in contemporary America abides by his teachings. I'm not sure why there is a holiday honoring that fraud.
