I’m not impressed with MLK, who represents federal government meddling unconstitutionally in our personal decisions including unconstitutional governmental interference in our freedom of choice (”discrimination”).

The Constitution prohibits the feds from interfering or meddling in our “civil rights” (Amendment I). The MLK movement turned the Constitution on its ear allowing the feds to do just the opposite of constitutional prohibitions: federal interference and meddling in our “civil rights”. MLK represents more unconstitutional federal acts and laws.

He made criticisms of capitalism, but he was NO communist.

“Can a Christian be a Communist?” ~ Martin Luther King’s Sermon delivered at Ebenezer Baptist Church. Atlanta, Georgia Sep 30 1962

Now, let us begin by answering the question which our sermon topic raises: Can a Christian be a communist? I answer that question with an emphatic “no.”

http://kingencyclopedia.stanford.edu/encyclopedia/documentsentry/can_a_christian_be_a_communist_30_sept_1962/index.html

“So that no Christian can be a communist because communism leaves out God. It regards religion psychologically as wishful thinking, regards religion intellectually as the product of fear and ignorance. And it regards religion historically as an instrument serving the ends of exploiters. This is what communism teaches about religion. And so, in a real sense, we disagree with this because we believe that history is moved not by economic forces but by spiritual forces. [Congregation: ] (Amen, Yeah) We believe that there is a God (Pray on) in this universe (Yes sir, Yes), a God who loves his children, and a God who works through history for the salvation of man. (Pray on) Consequently, we can’t accept communism at that point.”
