Martin Luther King Jr



Martin Luther King Jr was a civil rights activist who fought tirelessly for equal rights. Sadly FBI surveillance showed that King had dozens of extramarital affairs. He most likely a Socialist. Conservatives and Libertarians seem to like him and claim he was a conservative. However MLK thought differently.

King also took stands that most in the Christian Right would disagree with. When asked about the Supreme Court’s decision to ban school prayer, King responded,

''I endorse it. I think it was correct. Contrary to what many have said, it sought to outlaw neither prayer nor belief in god. In a pluralistic society such as ours, who is to determine what prayer shall be spoken and by whom? Legally, constitutionally or otherwise, the state certainly has no such right.''

Martin Luther King thought both Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan where true douchebags.

King said of Reagan, "When a Hollywood performer, lacking distinction even as an actor, can become a leading war hawk candidate for the presidency, only the irrationalities induced by war psychosis can explain such a turn of events."

King of course was a great opponent of the free economy. In a speech in front of his staff in 1966 he said,

''You can’t talk about solving the economic problem of the Negro without talking about billions of dollars. You can’t talk about ending the slums without first saying profit must be taken out of slums. You’re really tampering and getting on dangerous ground because you are messing with folk then. You are messing with captains of industry… Now this means that we are treading in difficult water, because it really means that we are saying that something is wrong…with capitalism… There must be a better distribution of wealth and maybe America must move toward a Democratic Socialism.''

Martin Luther King was a very left wing person, this is because he had a functioning brain. Had he been a regular person living today the Right would call him an evil communist. However everyone loves MLK in America so Conservatives praise him, despite the fact that Martin Luther King despised the right.
