Can you lurking DUmbasses answer a question for me on MLK Day?

[BannedFromDU]

From this thread and at least one more, you're decrying religion and prayer at the inauguration. For YEARS you've ridiculed the religious.

One of your favorite slurs against the religious is "Invisible Sky Daddy."

With that as a backdrop, tell me how you would go about convincing perhaps your greatest and most solemn hero that he worships an "Invisible Sky Daddy":




**** you, that is all.

He was the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, and I'll bet he was more of a Reverend than Jesse Jackassson ever could be.

And he was a republican.

[Maxiest]

I know he would be disgusted with the "new slavery" and the "liberal plantation."  Also how a black republican is treated now.  I mean how would he have felt about Robert Byrd, a Democrat, in office? 

[I_B_Perky]

I think MLK would tell Sharpton, Jackson and the rest of the race assholes to STFU.

His dream was a color blind society.

I'm sure he is spinning in his grave about what the black community has become.

The black community has become just what the Democrats wanted,  perpetual democrat voting , non-critical thinking loyalists.

This.

DUmmies deny that until their last breath.

[GOBUCKS]

Robert Byrd had already been in the Senate for nearly ten years when King was killed.

[Maxiest]

Oh wow, I was way off... I somehow didn't think he was elected till the early seventies.

Oh look, he filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964 against the republicans.

Thanks for the correction.

There's no "Betting" about it, he WAS twenty times the man of God that Jackson could ever be, and fifty times the man of God that Al Sharpton could ever be.
The man had his faults and weaknesses, to be certain (What good man doesn't?), but he earnestly served Jesus, he devoted his life to following God and promoting peace and equality among his fellow man. He sought racial equality rather than black supremacy and nonviolent resistance rather than active violence, and he and his followers had to put up with being mocked and dismissed as "Chumps" and "Uncle Toms" by the Nation of Islam types for that reason.
Jackson and Sharpton, in contrast, are hypocritical, self- promoting, hatemongering false Christians who claim both to be honoring Dr. King's legacy and to be serving God even as they deliberately encourage bigotry against whites, Jews, etc., and pay little more than lip service (And particularly cheap and sparse lip service at that) to the faith they claim to profess. To them, their faith is just a means to an end to promote their larger political goals  only valuable as long as it can continue to be used to advance their political goals, whereas for any true Christian involved in social action such as Dr. King, it should be the other way around (Their political goals being an extension of their faith).
Martin Luther King, Jr. (Who, btw, to furter make lurking DUmmies' heads explode, was a REPUBLICAN) is at this moment resting comfortably in the Kingdom of the God he faithfully served, whereas I imagine it will not be pretty for Jackson and Sharpton to stand before the Lord on the Day of Judgment.

Yes.  I am very sad to see this. A man died for the AA community to be freed and prosper but they have actually become slaves again and will not prosper unless their dem leaders say they can, which I do not see happening.

[FiddyBeowulf]

And he was a republican.

And a gun owner.

[SSG Snuggle Bunny]

Why do you think they call him DOCTOR King and not REVEREND King?

[BannedFromDU]

He was a better Rev. than Dr., as he was a well-documented plagiarist.

I dunno.

Preachers are pretty bad about that too.

They keep lifting whole passages of text...and always from the same book, too!

I see what you did there. ^5

Sometimes it's just astonishing to recall the image M. L. King had at the time of his death, compared to the image that's been manufactured over the intervening decades. But I guess such reflection serves no purpose.
