Martin Luther King Jr. celebration fifty years later

La Raza Uses MLK’s “I Have A Dream” Speech Anniversary To Push For Amnesty…
CAIR To Link “Islamophobia” To Civil Rights Movement…
“ 'Islamophobia … is just the latest manifestation of the same intolerance faced by Dr. King and other civil rights leaders of his time,” CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad said in a statement. “Like other forms of intolerance, Islamophobia is a threat to our nation’s values and to the social tapestry that continues to draw people to our shores from every nation on earth.' ”

Yet another racism hoax revealed  "But instead, because it is invariably progressives who launch these hoaxes because they just "know" that the racism is out there and want to "illustrate" it, too often the penalties for these crimes are light or nonexistent."

Obama: My speech won't be as 'good' as MLK's But it will be all about Barack Obama.
""We honor them not by giving another speech ourselves — because it won't be as good — but instead by just doing the day-to-day work to make sure this is a more equal and more just society."
"The president also said in the interview that King would have approved of his signature health care law."

The most magnificent thing about Martin Luther King’s 1963 speech was its faith in the American Dream – a dream that today’s radicals laugh and sneer at      "Not for King any mocking of the founding fathers of America, who have in recent years been judged by radical Leftists to have been racist and evil (in the words of The Nation magazine just last month, Thomas Jefferson was a “slave-owning rapist”). Instead, King extolled the “magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence” and talked about all men’s “inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”."

Please tell me how...

Miley Cyrus and American culture

Lib: “When I See Miley Cyrus Slap That Black Woman’s Butt I Think About The Way Enslaved Black Were Whipped For White Entertainment”… "This insane rant is courtesy of Aura Bogado, who is an editor at lib rag Colorlines and a contributor to the far-left The Nation:'"

 Victor Davis Hanson; An American Satyricon   "Transvestitism and sexual ambiguity are likewise Petronian themes; in our day, the controversy rages over whether convicted felon Bradley Manning is now a woman because he says he is. The politically correct term “transgendered” trumps biology; and if you doubt that, you are a homophobe or worse. As in the Roman Satyricon, our popular culture also displays a sick fascination with images of teen sex. So how does one trump the now-boring sexual shamelessness of Lady Gaga — still squirming about in a skimpy thong — at an MTV awards ceremony? Bring out former Disney teenage star Miley Cyrus in a vinyl bikini, wearing some sort of huge foam finger on her hand to simulate lewd sex acts."

Parents Television Council Condemns VMA Awards, Calls for End of Bundled Cable   "The Parents Television Council, outraged at the sexually acts displayed at Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) has called for Congress to pass the Television Consumer Freedom Act of 2013."
 
Miley Cyrus Simply Followed Crude Culture's Marching Orders  "No one is calling for a creative boycott. It's just an example on how little negative effect such a performance can have on a career.
"Cyrus may never earn the "respect" of her more talented peers, but it's clear that's not her goal. Besides, our culture prefers young performers to let it all out hang out rather than let their art speak for them."
 

Race relations in the era of Obama

Black lawmakers lament flaring of racial tensions under Obama  "When President Obama follows in Martin Luther King Jr.’s footsteps on Wednesday with an address at the Lincoln Memorial, he will face a nation where race remains the great divide.

"Black lawmakers say the election of the nation’s first African-America president has not been a salve for racial tensions, a view that the public has also voiced in recent polling."

Colin Powell sprinkles gasoline on racial fires of resentment  "By delegitimizing the judicial system, Powell harms the American social order.  When respect for law declines, brute force tends to become the principal alternative mode of dispute resolution.  "How far he has fallen since his years of honorable service in the United States Army. I used to respect him."

A Discussion On Race, Crime And The Inconvenient Facts  "The racial violence issue in the U.S. just won't go away. Still in the aftermath of Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman, now it erupts in Oklahoma. A troubling corollary also adheres, though not universally recognized: 
"The racial victimhood industry demonstrably cares little about the facts, for example, in cases such as Martin—Zimmerman. The ultimate legal and factual aspects, therefore, become peripheral to the larger societal issue because the race hustlers have been aggressing regardless of the still-opaque full truth.
