As America celebrates the life of Dr. King, it seems unbelieveable that he was so hated and feared by the establishment that now reveres him.
Every politician in America today will evoke his memory; some will be genuine in their praise, while others will humiliate themselves with their pandering. Even King's memorial service did not go untainted by politics, with Atlanta mayor Shirley Franklin, an Obama supporter, taking a shot at Bill Clinton. Clinton responded by staying seated as the rest of the crowd gave her a standing ovation. Classy, as always.
While President Bush told inner-city children to honor King's memory and "love thy neighbor" , the war raged on in Iraq and Afghanistan, and stock markets around the world plunged as fears of a U.S. recession loomed large.
Were Martin Luther King alive today he would be hated and demonized for his opposition to war and U.S. imperialism. Make no mistake about that, the vulture media, from Fox News to the New York Times would marginalize him as a radical, an unrealistic dreamer, for daring to challenge the idea that the U.S. must rule the world. Just as Ron Paul is called a radical for saying many of the same things today. While everyone fights for a piece of Dr. King's memory, do your part to change the world, donate to Ron Paul today. It is not likely that Dr. Paul will be our next president, the odds against him are immense, but if his message of freedom, peace, and prosperity reaches enough people, it will live on forever.
