Got MLK? James Earl Ray Did

I Wish I Could Have Met You
Today is Martin Luther King Day or as a good friend and pastor likes to call him, Martin Lucifer King. Oh, was that politically incorrect? Try this. Go back and you’ll see he was just another bleeding heart, liberal that got in the way of a speeding mass of lead.
Still, his death sure opened the doors for his family didn’t it? Funny how that works. JFK buys it, and now his daughter thinks her Senate seat is paid for.
Rumor has it, that Caroline K and MLK the third are going to record a duet. They’ll be covering Filter’s Hey Man, Nice Shot. All of the profits will go to their bank accounts favorite charities.
Those crazy kids.
The Rule of Three Initials
RFK murdered. JFK murdered. MLK murdered. W only used his middle initial. Nobody knows who GWB is, so by the Rule of Three Initials, he was pretty safe.
However, not all of the one or two initial Presidents are immune from close calls with sudden on-set heavy metal poisoning syndrome.
Squeaky Fromme tried to off Ford -so ineffectual a President, he managed not to screw-up the country any further, that he should be considered a Republican hero. And then there’s John Hinckley Jr. His poor marksmanship is cause enough for a statue in the far-left hall of fame. By missing Regan, he was instrumental in getting the Brady Bill passed. Thanks, John.
No wonder Barack Hussein Obama doesn’t want his middle name mentioned. LBJ and FDR dodged that bullet but why take chances. Besides, what psycho’s going to want to be remembered as the guy who got rid of BO? Unless you’re a deodorant company exec.

Now I’m not saying that profit is bad. Far from it. A lot of individuals and organizations have made a tidy sum on the deaths of influential people. Elvis, like a lot of other musicians and artists, are worth more now dead than when they were alive. Why not score on that? The Catholic Church -as well as many other sects- have made major bank on the backs of their dead religious figures. Some have even opened banks.
Who am I to begrudge them a little pocket change? They’re doing God’s work, right?
A Day by Any Other Name…
MKL Day, huh? Fine, he gets a day. Lincoln and Washington -arguably far more important in our country’s history- have to share one. Even Jesus only gets one day. Why do we give Martin a whole day to himself? Because we needed another holiday? I don’t thing so. Still, don’t try to get anything done with all major institutions closed and the kids underfoot.
In celebration speeches across the nation, Obama -who already thinks he’s Lincoln- will undoubtedly be touted today as the new King. With his coronation tomorrow, I’m sure he’ll even draw a parallel or two himself. Don’t get me wrong, I think we should celebrate this man’s life but not for the reasons most liberals would like to consider.
Some will try to tell you we commemorate this day because he was a nice, black guy who just wanted us all to get along. [Rodney King (no relation) wasn't very original was he?] Then again, you might believe Martin Luther King died trying to right civil wrongs. Fine you can look at it that way if you’d like. As I mentioned earlier, I have a different take.
I’m going to celebrate his life (and subsequent death) in a manner that will have secularist holding their heads and wailing “Noooo!” For I believe today was intended to be a celebration for a Holy Man of God, who was struck down for his religious beliefs. That’s right, you followers of Radical Islam, today our government shut down the nation to honor a Christian martyr.
Stuff that in your jihadist hookah and choke on it.
And you that thought I was politically incorrect.
