I keep reading about the “historic” election of 2010, when white people began deserting the Democrats, and the GOP actually got 60% of the white vote, as if this is a good thing. It isn’t. The Republican party is just as committed to destroying white America as the Democrats are. They just believe it can be done without raising taxes. Anyone who’s excited about the “potential” of the Tea Party movement simply isn’t paying attention. The TP types love our big foreign wars on behalf of Israel, they love the entitlements that are going to bankrupt America like Medicare and the prescription drug plan, and they love big government intruding into our private lives in the name of “civil rights” (as long as it’s only done in the name of Equality for blacks and Mexicans, and not homos). They really believe that the Civil Rights movement, which outlawed free association and private property rights that non-whites don’t approve of, was an expansion of freedom and liberty. If you don’t believe me, just go to $arah Palin’s Facebook page and read the comments on her tribute to Martin Luther King. First off, no lover of freedom and liberty would be offering any kind of tribute to King. Palin isn’t a friend of freedom and liberty. She’s a money grubbing opportunist, who resigned her post as governor of Alaska in order to make tens of millions of dollars. She’s riding the gravy train, and she has no intention of doing anything to slow it down, such as telling the truth about King. Either that, or she really believes the garbage she posted on her page: “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” – Martin Luther King, Jr. Today is a day to reflect on the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. King dedicated himself to justice and the struggles of an imperfect world. In the face of fierce opposition, he stood up for the oppressed, and he ultimately sacrificed all for equality and freedom. His was a remarkable life of love and service for all mankind. His work must continue. With Dr. King’s faith in God and his unwavering hope in a brighter, stronger future, let us recommit today to continuing his work for a more peaceful and just nation. - Sarah Palin Think that’s bad? Then you should get a load of some of the over 1600 comments she received. This is typical: Thank God for Dr. Martin King. He freed us all- both black and white! He freed us all. That came from a white man, Jim Horne. And he’s a Southerner. And he lists as his favorite book Atlas Shrugged. No, I’m not kidding. Here’s another one: Contrary to popular belief, Dr. King was very politically conservative and a registered Republican voter. The man dedicated himself and gave his life in the case of racial inequality. Too many people these days have the incorrect impression that connects him to the radical and racially divisive hard left socialist democrats that are trying convert our country into their idea of a social utopia without regard to the basic rights of the people and undermine the US Constitution. Dr. King worked within the principles and framework of the Constitution to bring needed changes. He stood for what was right and put his life on the line for it, for this reason, I hold him in the highest respect. As with any human being, yes the man had his flaws. But we should all remember it’s his message that’s the most important. That’s from a Dave Rollhauser. He doesn’t show his picture, but as virtually every one of the 1600+ commenters on Palin’s thread who do have pictures are white, I’m pretty sure he is, too. You can read about how if King were still alive, he’d be disgusted with Obama for being a liberal. To hear Palin’s fans tell it, King would be at Tea Party rallies denouncing Obamacare because he hated big government. Here are some more samples of what many Sarah Palin fans think of Martin Luther King: A Stephanie Chandler: To honor a man who honored the LORD Julie Gillette: MLK Jr was a great Republican! Thank you Sarah for your wonderful statement. Brandi Naragon: And forgotten today is the real hero, Rosa Parks. Without her courage, where would we be? Why do we celebrate the talker and not the doer? I for one, do not celebrate today. I teach my students about MLK not on his birthday, or in Febru…ary (how demeaning to lump all black historical figures into one month as if they weren’t important enough to learn about without that month.) We cover MLK when we cover the 196082;s, and I make sure my students know that without Rosa Parks and the others doing the hard things, he would not have been remembered. Others such as Booker T. Washington and George Washington Carver are also studied in context and based on their contributions, not the color of their skin. I think King would be very disappointed to see how race is even a subject for conversation today. His dream has not been fulfilled as long as we continue to bring up the color of a person’s skin. Loren Cole: It’s too bad that traffic this morning wasn’t much better than any other workday. Hopefully, as time goes on, more Americans will honor this man of peace. Joe L. Wolf: I wish Dr. King was alive today to give his people guidence. They are being led astray by socialism, false pride, and godless behavior. Teri Sanders: As I look over some of the comment on the statement that Sarah Palin reflected on the day to honor and remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., I am reminded on how self centered we are. Dr. King saw change coming through peace and the use of our voice. He had taken his actions of demonstration from Gandhi and Jesus the Christ (Anointed one). When we put LOVE (Jesus Christ) in the center of all and emulate His actions, Dr. King did, we would have less violence. We will be able to hear each other. Pauline Sodermark: Thank God for Martin Luther King. He gave this nation a conscience. Dave Clutter: Thank you Sarah! All skin colors love MLK, and his place in history. America loves you too Sarah, (despite the media and the left attempts to demonize you). Robby Edward Perrine Jr: I SINCERELY BELIEVE IF MORE NON-BLACK PEOPLE KNEW ABOUT DR. KINGS BELIEFS , THEY WOULD UNDERSTAND AND BELIEVE ! ..AND EXCEPT THE HOLIDAY , BUT ITS NOT ABOUT ( BLACK-NESS) ITS ABOUT “EQUALITY” THAT HE MARCHED FOR ALL PEOPLES RIGHTS , YOURS AND MINE”)……! America Freedom: I doubt MLK would feel any pride for Obama and his socialist agendas. Its disturbing to mention the two men in the same sentence. Carl C. Foley: MLK was a true leader and inspiration who didnt play politics and cared about all. he was a great man..im so tired of ppl comparing Obama to MLK bc the only thing they have in common is…nothing MLK will nvr be forgotton and his struggles and passion will always be in our hearts… The brainwashed and brain-dead folks on $arah’s Facebook page need to take a look at the facts.

"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brush fires of freedom in the minds of men." -- Samuel Adams (1722-1803)‡ "The ground of liberty is to be gained by inches, and we must be contented to secure what we can get from time to time and eternally press forward for what is yet to get. It takes time to persuade men to do even what is for their own good." -- Thomas Jefferson
- Sarah Palin ======================================= Dear Sarah. You are so OWNED! Well friends, he is not a legitimate reverend, he is not a bona fide PhD, and his name isn't really "Martin Luther King, Jr." What's left? Just a sexual degenerate, an America-hating Communist, and a criminal betrayer of even the interests of his own people. On Labor Day, 1957, a special meeting was attended by Martin Luther King and four others at a strange institution called the Highlander Folk School in Monteagle, Tennessee. The Highlander Folk School was a Communist front, having been founded by Myles Horton (Communist Party organizer for Tennessee) and Don West (Communist Party organizer for North Carolina). The leaders of this meeting with King were the aforementioned Horton and West, along with Abner Berry and James Dumbrowski, all open and acknowledged members of the Communist Party, USA. The agenda of the meeting was a plan to tour the Southern states to initiate demonstrations and riots. Soon after returning from a trip to Moscow in 1958, Rustin organized the first of King's famous marches on Washington. The official organ of the Communist Party, "The Worker,- - openly declared the march to be a Communist project. Although he left King's employ as secretary in 1961, Rustin was called upon by King to be second in command of the much larger march on Washington which took place on August 28, 1963. Bayard Rustin's replacement in 1961 as secretary and advisor to King was Jack O'Dell, also known as Hunter Pitts O'Dell. According to official records, in 1962 Jack O'Dell was a member of the National Committee of the Communist Party, USA. He had been listed as a Communist Party member as early as 1956. O'Dell was also given the job of acting executive director for SCLC activities for the entire Southeast, according to the St. Louis "Globe-Democrat - -of October 26, 1962. At that time, there were still some patriots in the press corps, and word of O'Dell's party membership became known. What did King do? Shortly after the negative news reports, King fired O'Dell with much fanfare. And he then, without the fanfare, "immediately hired him again- - as director of the New York office of the SCLC, as confirmed by the "Richmond News-Leader - -of September 27, 1963. In 1963 a Black man from Monroe, North Carolina named Robert Williams made a trip to Peking, China. Exactly 20 days before King's 1963 march on Washington, Williams successfully urged Mao Tse-Tung to speak out on behalf of King's movement. Mr. Williams was also around this time maintaining his primary residence in Cuba, from which he made regular broadcasts to the southern US, three times a week, from high-power AM transmitters in Havana under the title "Radio Free Dixie." In these broadcasts, he urged violent attacks by Blacks against White Americans. During this period, Williams wrote a book entitled "Negroes With Guns." The writer of the foreword for this book? None other than Martin Luther King, Jr. It is also interesting to note that the editors and publishers of this book were to a man all supporters of the infamous Fair Play for Cuba Committee. Jewish Communist Stanley Levison can best be described as King's behind-the-scenes "handler." Levison, who had for years been in charge of the secret funnelling of Soviet funds to the Communist Party, USA, was King's mentor and was actually the brains behind many of King's more successful ploys. It was Levison who edited King's book, "Stride Toward Freedom." It was Levison who arranged for a publisher. Levison even prepared King's income tax returns! It was Levison who really controlled the fund-raising and agitation activities of the SCLC. Levison wrote many of King's speeches. King described Levison as one of his "closest friends." FBI: King Bought Sex With SCLC Money The Federal Bureau of Investigation had for many years been aware of Stanley Levison's Communist activities. It was Levison's close association with King that brought about the initial FBI interest in King. According to Assistant Director Sullivan, who had direct access to the surveillance files on King which are denied the American people, King had embezzled or misapplied substantial amounts of money contributed to the "civil rights" movement. King used SCLC funds to pay for liquor, and numerous prostitutes both Black and White, who were brought to his hotel rooms, often two at a time, for drunken sex parties which sometimes lasted for several days. These types of activities were the norm for King's speaking and organizing tours. In fact, an outfit called The National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, Tennessee, which is putting on display the two bedrooms from the Lorraine Motel where King stayed the night before he was shot, has declined to depict in any way the "occupants - -of those rooms. That "according to exhibit designer Gerard Eisterhold "would be "close to blasphemy." The reason? Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. spent his last night on Earth having sex with two women at the motel and physically beating and abusing a third. Sullivan also stated that King had alienated the affections of numerous married women. According to Sullivan, who in 30 years with the Bureau hadáseen everything there was to be seen of the seamy side of life, King was one of only seven people he had ever encountered who was such a total degenerate. Noting the violence that almost invariably attended King's supposedly "non-violent" marches, Sullivan's probe revealed a very different King from the carefully crafted public image. King welcomed members of many different Black groups as members of his SCLC, many of them advocates and practitioners of violence. King's only admonition on the subject was that they should embrace "tactical nonviolence." Sullivan also relates an incident in which King met in a financial conference with Communist Party representatives, not knowing that one of the participants was an infiltrator actually working for the FBI. Ladies and gentlemen, the purpose of this radio program is far greater than to prove to you the immorality and subversion of this man called King. I want you to start to think for yourselves. I want you to consider this: What are the forces and motivation behind the controlled media's active promotion of King? What does it tell you about our politicians when you see them, almost without exception, falling all over themselves to honor King as a national hero? What does it tell you about our society when any public criticism of this moral leper and Communist functionary is considered grounds for dismissal? What does it tell you about the controlled media when you see how they have successfully suppressed the truth and held out a picture of King that can only be described as a colossal lie? You need to think, my fellow Americans. You desperately need to wake up. Sources: 1.

That was my first impression too. Certainly, she has a TP following but TP is bigger than Palin.
that was my first thought too.
Thank you HAPPY. MLK was a plagiarist, a fraud and perhaps a communist. At the very least, as one who came of age in the mid 60s, it was ironic to say the least that wherever this man went, a riot followed. He sucked on ice, and his memory, to me, isn't shaped by revisionist history as is that of some others.
During this period, Williams wrote a book entitled "Negroes With Guns." The writer of the foreword for this book? None other than Martin Luther King, Jr. I was able to find this booklet (only about 88 pages, 1962) but nothing written by MLK in it.
=========================================== Interesting. So you have the hard copy and no forward by MLK?
U.S. Constitution - Article IV, Section 4: NO BORDERS + NO LAWS = NO COUNTRY
Sarah Palin is the antithesis of what the Tea Party started out to be. If she said the things she says but had looks like Helen Thomas she'd be locked away in a nut house. I'll admit to being a quaint antique and a twit if you'll admit that affirmative action is still in force and in many instances places people in positions they're not qualified for. This, in my opinion, is reverse discrimination and another reason government is bloated and inefficient.
You let yourselves be deprived before your own eyes of the best part of your revenues; your fields are plundered, your homes robbed, your family heirlooms taken away. You live in such a way that you cannot claim a single thing as your own; and it would seem that you consider yourselves lucky to be loaned your property, your families, and your very lives.

With Dr. King’s faith in God and his unwavering hope in a brighter, stronger future, let us recommit today to continuing his work for a more peaceful and just nation.
Communist Beliefs and Connections
From 1955 to 1960, Martin Luther King's associate, advisor, and personal secretary was one Bayard Rustin. In 1936 Rustin joined the Young Communist League at New York City College. Convicted of draft-dodging, he went to prison for two years in 1944. On January 23, 1953 the "Los Angeles Times" reported his conviction and sentencing to jail for 60 days for lewd vagrancy and homosexual perversion. Rustin attended the 16th Convention of the Communist Party, USA in February, 1957. One month later, he and King founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, or SCLC for short. The president of the SCLC was Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The vice-president of the SCLC was the Reverend Fred Shuttlesworth, who was also the president of an identified Communist front known as the Southern Conference Educational Fund, an organization whose field director, a Mr. Carl Braden, was simultaneously a national sponsor of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee, of which you may have heard. The program director of the SCLC was the Reverend Andrew Young, in more recent years Jimmy Carter's ambassador to the UN and mayor of Atlanta. Young, by the way, was trained at the Highlander Folk School, previously mentioned.
According to King's biographer and sympathizer David J. Garrow, "King privately described himself as a Marxist." In his 1981 book, "The FBI and Martin Luther King, Jr.", Garrow quotes King as saying in SCLC staff meetings, "...we have moved into a new era, which must be an era of revolution.... The whole structure of American life must be changed.... We are engaged in the class struggle."
Lest you be tempted to believe the controlled media's lie about "racists" in the FBI being out to "get" King, you should be aware that the man most responsible for the FBI's probe of King was Assistant Director William C. Sullivan. Sullivan describes himself as a liberal, and says that initially "I was one hundred per cent for King...because I saw him as an effective and badly needed leader for the Black people in their desire for civil rights." The probe of King not only confirmed their suspicions about King's Communist beliefs and associations, but it also revealed King to be a despicable hypocrite, an immoral degenerate, and a worthless charlatan.
J. Edgar Hoover personally saw to it that documented information on King's Communist connections was provided to the President and to Congress. And conclusive information from FBI files was also provided to major newspapers and news wire services. But were the American people informed of King's real nature? No, for even in the 1960s, the fix was in "the controlled media and the bought politicians were bound and determined to push their racial mixing program on America. King was their man and nothing was going to get in their way. With a few minor exceptions, these facts have been kept from the American people. The pro-King propaganda machine grinds on, and it is even reported that a serious proposal has been made to add some of King's writings as a new book in the Bible.

3) Anyone still fighting against the Civil Rights Act is a quaint antique, as well as being a twit. It's already passed, been on the books for 40+ years, and has faded into virtual non-enforcement over the past 10 years. This is like arguing against Dredd Scott in 1910.
