This has really been ongoing for sometime, and it is more than just MLK, but Republicans like taking popular figures and trying to own them. Martin Luther King Jr. was a radical socialist liberal, the points below come from the
rude pundit and are things we should all remember...
1. Martin Luther King was against prayer in school and thought that Christianity meant that you had to help the poor.
2. Martin Luther King thought America's use of military power was immoral and that protesters loved their country.
3. This is not to mention that Martin Luther King thought that money spent on useless wars would be better spent on anti-poverty programs.
4. Unlike today's Democrats, Martin Luther King
believed that radical activism, even at the risk of arrest, was more
important than moderation and compromise. Principle over popularity.
5. Martin Luther King
believed that a janitor was as important as a doctor and that the
government had the duty to ensure that the janitor was taken care of as
well as the doctor was, including a guaranteed wage, health care, and
more.
6. Martin Luther King
believed that the rich needed to pay their fair share to help lift
people out of poverty. They should, you know, spread the wealth,
especially through taxation.
7. And, after a change of heart, Martin Luther King did not believe in owning a gun.
As dingby said (
re: Jim DeMint's tweet):
If that's the platform of Jim DeMint's Republican Party, where do I sign
up? If it isn't, then Jim DeMint should probably keep his mouth shut.
