Great post. The Rev was fallible like every man. The left cannot continue with someone who believes all men are created equal. Science confirms what we call race identity is a tiny fragment of our genetic makeup. We are one race, uniq6created to be so. Throw in the hochs genes and we are nothing like a banana or an ape. Continuing the eugenecists “scientific”tbeories is completely fairy tale nonsense.
One Race, many cultures, many breeds, but only One Human Race.

LBJ’s “Great Society”, was, in actuality, the restoration of the the antebellum society…the new Democrat Plantation.
It destroyed the Black Nuclear Family, made the women dependent upon their men for fertilization and the government for sustenance.
It preached a mantra of oppression, victimhood and helpless entitlement.
Today’s Blacks are by and large slaves on the Democrat Plantation while they can’t even see the chains, binding them.
“The left cannot continue with someone who believes all men are created equal.”
I always thought the FF wrote that in the context of class or caste. They had left England where when a person is born (created) he is destined to be royalty or not. In America there is no royal bloodline, therefore “equal”.
Most people believe it means that everyone truly is equal with everyone else in every way which, of course, makes no sense at all. (Maybe it does mean that, but it’s not how I interpreted it.)
Our Country/Constitution was designed with intention of people growing up learning, knowing it, understanding it and holding people in authority accountable to it. That takes people of morals, integrity and understanding life is not just about yourself or your family - all of which have been trained out of a large portion of people in this country. In it’s place people have been trained to worry and focus on themself first and their comforts and desires and NOT speaking up or act to defend our Constitution, but hope some one else will.
Truth is truth even if no one believes it, or stands for it.
Thankfully God is not swayed from His wonderful plan of redemption. Sad so many choose to not take part or only superficially take part. It’s amazing the transformation of persons willing to cast aside their human mental or physical limitations and dive into trusting God the Father, Jesus & Holy Spirit to show them who He created them to be :) !
“These self-professed admirers of King are digging a new grave and burying King’s body of work within it.”
Just as one cannot dig their way out of a hole, one cannot dig any grave that is deep or large enough to contain the Word of God. In-as-much as the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. rightly appealed to the Bible in his works, those aspects of his works are eternal and invicible.
Matthew 24:35
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
“They had left England where when a person is born (created) he is destined to be royalty or not. In America there is no royal bloodline, therefore “equal”.”
I had read that idea many months ago. The writer made a good argument for it, and it made sense.
One of my earliest lessons to my kids was “Life isn’t fair”.
Sadly it came back to bite me. We have helped our kids out through various hardships from time to time. They have never asked for help - we just offer it and they gladly accept it. Some more than others.
Well - until we tried to recently help one out.
“Well - it’s not like it is going to solve the problem!”
“No - but at least it will get you headed in the right direction.”
“I need to do this on my own!!”
“Everybody needs a little help once in awhile. We have helped your siblings out here and there - now it is your turn. It probably would be good for us to try to keep things equal and fair too between you - so let us help.”
“Fair!? You know life isn’t fair!”
“Well, um, yeah - but that’s not to say we can’t try to do our part to make it a bit more fair.”
(She finally did relent and accepted half of what we offered her to help her out of a jam.)
great post.
LBJ should be in the top 5 worst Presidents.
Possibly the worst.
Wow! That’s a good kid you raised — “a good head on her shoulders”, as the saying goes.
Acts 17
22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, To The Unknown God. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.
30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead
I wish she had a good head on her shoulders. She’s in a jam because she is in love with a lousy boy friend! She has a big heart. Bigger than her brain. We pray she will come to her senses. (And yes - she is all and all a good kid.) But stubborn too!
“she is in love with a lousy boy friend!”
I hope it’s not a pattern. It can ruin a person’s entire life.
Post 7: “fair”
Ezekiel 18:25-32 (NKJ)
25“Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair.’ Hear now, O house of Israel, is it not My way which is fair, and your ways which are not fair? 26When a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, commits iniquity, and dies in it, it is because of the iniquity which he has done that he dies. 27Again, when a wicked man turns away from the wickedness which he committed, and does what is lawful and right, he preserves himself alive. 28Because he considers and turns away from all the transgressions which he committed, he shall surely live; he shall not die. 29Yet the house of Israel says, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair.’ O house of Israel, is it not My ways which are fair, and your ways which are not fair?
30“Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways,” says the Lord God. “Repent, and turn from all your transgressions, so that iniquity will not be your ruin. 31Cast away from you all the transgressions which you have committed, and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. For why should you die, O house of Israel? 32For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies,” says the Lord God. “Therefore turn and live!”

People choose to be with folks they want to be with.
Free choice brings freedom. And peace.
If I don’t want to live with, go to school with, or work with (you pick the entitled group) I can choose that.
Forcing people that hate each other together is not a good idea.
National Divorce is the answer.
No Civil War - civil separation.
Choose Freedom. Choose Peace.
I was acquainted with Will Alexander, the writer of this piece, when he was a docent at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library. But he resigned in protest after the library’s leftist Nixon-hating director Timothy Naftali tried to orient the library’s displays so as to trash President Nixon and minimize his positive accomplishments.
I’m too much of a literalist and a binary thinker. I got fairly into this article before I realized they weren’t talking about Martin Luther King Jr’s father.
