Mr Nebo, instead of just believing the tripe pumped out by liberal media slugs (salon/slate/kos/etc), try doing your OWN research into the facts..Civil rights was a Republican effort that would NOT have passed if left to the Democrats, check your history..The opposition to the MLK holiday was an opposition to yet ANOTHER day off for federal workers, nothing more..Did you READ the articles you posted?? Yes King was unpopular in the 60’s … by DEMOCRATS. DEMOCRATS opposed integration and civil rights. And nearly everyone in 1965 opposed the peace movement promoted by Dr. King..The ‘death-taxes’ article is just an unsupportable puff-piece that bears little resemblance to fact. Mr King did not support Mr. Goldwater, but NOT because on ANY race issue, he didn’t support Mr. Goldwater because Goldwater was a military hawk, and an closet isolationist, nothing more..BTW, Dr. King DID support a colorblind society and stated so several times..And the KOS article actually PROMOTES the kind blind destruction we are today seeing in Baltimore and denigrates anyone who might claim such crimes are actually illegal..You might want to read the tripe you link BEFORE you link it.
