Serendipitously, while reading a book by a leader today of the American conservative movement, I came to her discussion of the greatness of Martin Luther King, Jr. whose day it is:
Famously, Dr. King called not for a rejection of America’s founding principles, but for American to “rise up to live out the true meaning of its creed.”
. . . .
It’s a shame not everyone wants to quote Dr. King these days. What made Martin Luther King, Jr., a great and effective leader is that he appealed to our better angels.
Sarah Palin, America by Heart : Reflections on Family, Faith, and Flag
The vitriol that was heaped on King was like no other I have seen in my lifetime, save the current treatment smearing of Palin.
At least King did not have the MSM against him.
Speaking of Palin… Hey everybody, want to know how stupid Democrats are? This stupid: http://hotair.com/archives/2011/01/17/cnn-poll-majority-of-dems-35-overall-think-palins-crosshairs-map-is-at-least-partly-to-blame-for-arizona-shootings/
Or are Democrats wrong on this from irresponsibility and malice, more than stupidity? Either way, it’s unbelievable.
