Martin Luther King’s Revolution


I happened on the MLK "Beyond Vietnam Speech" this morning and was reading that the day after his speech, April 5, 1967, ~168 newspapers condemned him and the speech. LBJ has some very choice words as well. As I continue to watch the national media influence the personal opinions and politics of so many it struck me as ironic that a man the liberal newspapers now lionize was treated so poorly back then.

From SocialistWorkers.org website-
"What is that goddam ****** preacher doing to me?" President Lyndon Baines Johnson.

From the Jacobian (linked site)-
The day after the Riverside speech, an estimated 168 newspapers attacked King.

"The Washington Post called the Riverside speech a “grave injury” to the civil rights movement: “[King] has diminished his usefulness to his cause, to his country, and to his people.” The New York Times called it a “wasteful and self-defeating” foray into foreign policy, “a fusing of two public problems that are distinct and separate,” which did a “disservice” to both.

Time, Newsweek, and US News and World Report all came out against King. Time ran an article called “Confusing the Cause” that called King a “drawling bumpkin, so ignorant that he had not read a newspaper in years, who had wandered out of his native haunts and away from his natural calling.”

Apart from SNCC, the major civil rights leaders and organizations refused to stand by King. The organization he founded a decade before, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, issued a statement disassociating itself from King’s remarks. Roy Wilkins of the NAACP said that “civil rights groups do not have enough information on Vietnam, or on foreign policy, to make it their cause.”

In May, King compared himself to socialist leader Eugene Debs who went to prison for opposing World War I. Depressed and attacked from all sides, he cried frequently."



Unfortunately my google search skills haven't stumbled on a website that lists all 168 papers that condemned him but would be interesting to see the names. My contention is that if the media held all people to the same standard this country would be infinitely better.

joe and hunter, like father like son

just like hunter biden won't take a weekly drug test to prove he is not using illegal drugs, crappy pants pedo joe won't take a cognitive mental test to prove he isn't senile and suffering from dementia.

the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree.

i can't unsee what happened at the debate, bad night my ass. are my eyes lying to me? don't think so.

i have lots of drug addicts and alcoholics in my family. i don't wish that on anyone, including hunter biden. get help, go to meetings, lecture groups about what happened and tell them how you beat it day by day. but all my eyes see is hunter living the good life waiting for sentencing on gun charges and prepping for his tax evasion case. and joe biden stumbling around telling us how great things are right now.

things are great now? bought gas or eggs lately?

the last thing pedo joe does before leaving office is pardon hunter for his criminal offenses. does that mean hunter needs to plea bargain the tax case before dad resigns or is removed via the 25th amendment? if daddy ain't president, he can't pardon hunter.

thots?

Is the one who will be carted off to prison if there is a ceasefire. What a compassionate patriot!

Biden stumbling again yesterday

He stumbles again on the Fourth on the White House lawn and gives another rambling sound bite.

He comes out and greets people and starts talking about things lack of congestion on the road and says something else that really didn’t make much sense.

Fox News played the entire 90 second clip where he is meandering around the White House lawn and stumbling over words.

Meanwhile, CNN and Msnbc show a 5-10 clip of the moment where someone shouts out “we need you” and he responds “I’m not going anywhere” which, of course, makes him sound positive. But watching the whole 90-seconds just adds to the worry that he has his wits about him.

Take Out Conservative SCOTUS Justices With Military


WTF. This is a elected Democrat Congress woman suggesting Biden should take out Conservative SCOTUS Justices with the military.

I find the Democrat's reaction to recent SCOTUS rulings both hilarious and highly troubling. I can't help but think of the reaction Democrats and the media would have if a Republican were saying BS like this.

Republican Claims Blacks and Latinos Don’t Have the ‘Genetics’ to Hold Public Office

Oops, sorry. I meant Democrat.

"Kleinjans asserts that the other potential candidates, a black man and hispanic man, are subpar to him in the candidate pool because of “genetic and historical” factors."


Here’s Something I Think Most Of You Will Enjoy Reading

5.7M people are flying this weekend, this means…

We can deport all the illegals quicker than some think.

I would not mind seeing a national deportation weekend and the government pays all the airlines to get 6M out in one weekend. Get the worst of them out of here fast, get the rest over time. Cancel some of the wasteful spending Joe has passed and use it for this.
