about 90% of posts are thoughtful and kind, and then ...
*Does this mean that the copyright will be removed from the 'i have a dream' speech so that school children can speak the words without fear of being charged a fee.
*Clinton must be drooling all over himself this morning! Another chance to go to a funeral and make it all about him!
*Served 'her country' exactly how? "husband's memory" = marketing rights and copyrighting his image and every word he spoke, do you mean?
*Another opportunity for scumbaggete Hillary to make another one of her now infamous "plantation" speeches.
*the Alito confirmation-to-be has been preemptively blown right off the top of tomorrow's front page.
*The DUmmies are blaming Alito for her death. They said she just couldn't deal with his nomination. They have no shame.
*As a white man, raised in a semi-segregated south, I feel ambivalent about her worth to the nation at large.
*Unfortunately, this means some real in-fighting will start with her children. Two wanted to sell the MLK center and two wanted to keep it. I hope Mrs. King left a good will, and they resolve it peacefully.
*Bullfeathers. She was a world-class know-nothing biddy who capitalized on her husband's work in a shameless fashion. When I was a kid and first read of MLK's affairs I was disappointed. Then I learned more about his wife after reading some of her syndicated columns. I can't say I can blame the guy. She had all of the warmth of Mary Todd with none of the intelligence.
*RIP and prayers for her family.But to say the Lord probably accepted a pro-infanticide being and supported the abomination of homosexuality is stretching it.She was a good woman, but did she stand biblically with the Father? That is suspect. I pray she repented of all these things before she passed away.
*Words have been thrown out here: "Dignity", "Grace" and "Greatness". Yet, there isn't one example thus far on this entire thread of any of those things.
*I am not bashing Coretta S. King. I am just marveling at the predictable thing that so many white people do. And that is, that because she was a well known black figure that has passed, many whites are now in a foot race to see who can outdo the other with their praise for a woman that the overwhelming vast majority of them know absolutely nothing about! That's all.
*The DemocRATS should have nothing to say about Mrs. King. As RUSH said today on his show, it was Bobby Kennedy as AG who actively tried to prove MLKjr was having affairs with other women in an attempt to break up the marriage.
*you thought rosa's was a show you have not seen anything yet; the usual suspects will be there and the racebaiting by the hustlers will be unbearable to watch. I plan on allowing Rush and Laura describe in detail the all day event
*Good grief, your right. I really hate to think of all the nut cases forming a line to the podium trying to score points with Black Americans. The list could be endless. I hope it doesn't happen but I suspect it will.
Rest in peace Mrs. King.
*Uh...HUH. Yup - copyrighting her old man's every word, breath, and f#rt really helped evidence "the beauty in all of God's creations", right along with her denouncing the war in Iraq, sticking up for her murderin' black panther buddy Rap Brown, and building a pretty good business out of Marty's getting shot-up. Maybe she was a favorite celebrity of yours; but I'd use other words.
*Be prepared for a repeat of the 24/7 MSM propaganda machine cranking out shows canonizing Coretta Scott King, as they did with Rosa Parks a few months ago. Her funeral service will probably be treated by the MSM like those of Princess Diana or Pope John Paul II. Be prepared for white liberal elitists like Ted Kennedy, Bill and Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, and Al Gore to make a pilgrimage to Atlanta, with sad, tearful faces. Rest assured that the Clintons will not doze off during the funeral service, as they did at President Reagan's funeral.What will be worse than the blatant liberal exploitation of Mrs. King's death will be those who say they are conservative doing their own version of the long, sad faces and crocodile tears. The civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s addressed longstanding grievances of blacks against state sponsored segregation and routine unfairness and nastiness on the part of the white majority, especially in the South. (It is well to remember that the segregated South was solidly Democratic, with the socialistic New Deal and other "big government" movements like Populism having wide audiences in that region.) However, the civil rights movement was the impetus for a massive expansion of Federal power, to the detriment of property rights, freedom of association, and states rights.For over 40 years. the NAACP and other organizations that came into prominence during the height of the civil rights movement have been staunch supporters of every incremental expansion of Federal power, especially in the social arena. Yet they have also been firm opponents of military strength, foreign policy focused on this nation's interests, and effective punishment of convicted criminals. Affirmative action, sensitivity training, multiculturalism, and "hate crimes" laws are among the long term results of the civil rights movement.American conservatism is not New Deal and Great Society policies and big government minus abortion rights, pornography on demand, and homosexual "marriage". Rather, it is rooted in the philosophy of limited government and individual liberty embodied in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. The civil rights movement became a strong advocate of centralized and unlimited government power, with the goal of radical egalitarianism at the expense of personal freedom. No one who calls himself a conservative should give honor to this movement on the occasion of the death of the wife of its most important leader.
