I thought it was just a provocative title and you were going to write a little about how justice knows no ideology and how maybe we need to look at more issues from a human/spritual perspective rather than through this simplistic left-right, conservative-liberal, bullshit view. <br /><br />Instead we have an article that talks nicely about how MLKJR's power came from his faith and then suddenly makes the radical proclaimation that he was therefore a conservative. I guess because we all know that conservatives have a monopoly on spirituality.<br /><br />awesome. yeah, what the hell.

Instead we have an article that talks nicely about how MLKJR’s power came from his faith and then suddenly makes the radical proclaimation that he was therefore a conservative. I guess because we all know that conservatives have a monopoly on spirituality.

awesome.

The column is not about a political agenda. It says that Dr. King would not wait around for government to solve the problems facing urban America, but would rally church leaders to work toward social justice, as he did when he was alive.<br /><br />It was a perspective worth reading...at least to people who know how to engage in dialogue beyond "shameless and vile" name-calling.

He overtly rejected political engagement in the movement because he saw it as counter-productive and divisive. To write a column on MLK day titled "MLK: Conservative or Liberal?" is beneath contempt. <br /><br />I wouldn't care if it was dems or reps, conservatives or liberals... And in fact, earlier today I posted similar thoughts to a liberal blog that made the same insinuation... Trying to politicize what MLK stood for is just despicable... That guy is despicable for writing that and you for posting it…

The country needs someone like him to talk some sense into people. Check out Martin Luther King Jr's Greatest Speeches at http://www.gotuit.com to enlighten yourself and others.
