Happy MLK Day

The man, the legend. Today is Martin Luther King, Jr Day (Jan. 15 was his actual birthday) and with it we celebrate diversity and accomplishments from the Civil Rights era until today. How proud would Dr. King have been to have seen America elect it's first black president? How would he have dealt with the media's fawning over him or the way they have made him to be a deity? How would he have felt about the media's vitriol for anything they consider to be against Obama's policies as racism? How would he have been treated by the media for being a Republican? How would he have reacted to Michael Moore's digusting treatment of his good friend, Charlton Heston? As a minister, how would he have seen the media portrayal of Christianity as one of the top evils of the world, or lately the only evil? Would he have forgiven James Earl Ray, his assassin? Probably. That' s the way his Christian upbringing molded him. The same Cristian upbringing that the media is now an accomplice in demonizing.

Where would he stand today?
