"When a Hollywood performer, lacking distinction even as an actor, can become a leading war hawk candidate for the presidency, only the irrationalities induced by war psychosis can explain such a turn of events."
MLK seethed those remarks, not surprisingly, at a leftist convention for union thugs (National Labor Leadership Assembly for Peace) in November 1967. That confab of commies was held in Chicago, the same city that was home to William Ayers and hussein obama.
My father saw MLK at Berkeley giving a speech around 1967 or so. He was not impressed, observing how he was trying to latch onto the next issue (Vietnam) to stay “relevant” when the students had become bored with Civil Rights (since it had, after all, been federally “resolved” by then). This obsession with some on the GOP side as trying to paint him as one of ours when he was already clearly radicalized by his death and leading his fellow Blacks down the path to hell of increased dependency and governmental reliance (at the expense of destroyed families and driving out or marginalizing Black fathers) is nothing short of crazy.
I lament his early and violent death if only because it canonized a serial philanderer, absentee father and husband and committed leftist and political opportunist. Had he lived even 10 years longer, he would’ve become unraveled enough by his own actions that would’ve exposed him as a Je$$e Jack$on type, a chronic rabble-rouser, shakedown artist and racebaiter who’d have sold his soul to the Democrat party for keeping the slaves on the plantation.
That his name adorns streets that run through destroyed Black inner-cities, the victims of the very politics and dependencies he promoted and supported, is the ultimate testament to him. So is the abomination sitting in the White House, who has similarly caused untold damage and division that will take decades to correct, if we’re lucky.
