King sought to ensure America adhered to its creed; Obama and his heirs labor for its destruction.
"Against the model provided by King, Obama and his heirs have sown violence in the wind, and now America is reaping a whirlwind of destruction as a result."
The American Spectator "Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass misspoke Monday when she said of the rioters in her city that “people should exercise their right to protest; that’s their First Amendment right.” But she had good reason to expect that few Americans would recognize the error of her words. Thankfully, Harris Faulkner of Fox’s Faulkner Focus refused to accept Bass’s wording in the June 9 lead-in to her show — “you won’t hear me calling them protesters; they are criminals.” (RELATED: Do We Have a Nation?)
"For many Americans, designation of activist behavior as “protests” reflexively evokes approbation associated with the Civil Rights movement they honor. But since Barack Obama’s first term as president, protests staged by left-of-center groups have borne less and less resemblance to those led and inspired by Martin Luther King Jr. in the 1960s. For those who witnessed Bull Connor’s dogs and hoses in Birmingham, the marches across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, and blacks unlawfully seated at the Woolworth lunch counter in Greensboro, the Los Angeles rioters cannot claim to be heirs of the Civil Rights movement.
"In contradiction to MLK’s carefully planned events demanding absolute adherence to non-violence methods, Obama called for a general “taking to the streets” and reiterated it repeatedly to fuel the now infamous conflagrations that produced the George Floyd Summer of Love. His attorney general and self-described “wing-man,” Eric Holder, said, “When they go low, we kick ‘em.”
"Of Trump Administration officials, California Congresswoman Maxine Waters urged, “If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.” From the steps of the Supreme Court Chuck Schumer warned Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh that if either voted to overturn Roe v. Wade “you will pay the price,” and “you won’t know what hit you.”
"The contrast between such incitement of mobs with the strategies of King could hardly be more stark. Pointing to both Jesus Christ and Mahatma Gandhi, MLK emphasized above all the necessity that the Civil Rights protests be peaceable, non-violent, and, whenever possible, legal.
"King always petitioned for permission to protest from all appropriate authorities. When denied, non-violence was maintained, and protesters did not resist arrest. King’s followers engaged in courageous, self-sacrificing acts of civil disobedience. Post-Obama left-wing protesters do anything but. The most peaceable protests in our time were launched by conservatives and Jews." . . .
