Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

This past weekend I heard several intellectually ill-equipped pundits opine on how appalled Martin Luther King would be if he was somehow able to live in our current culture. He would be outraged at the lack of racial harmony, he would be disgusted by the Bush administration's lack of empathy towards all races, with the exception of course of rich, white people.

Au contraire mon frere. I truly believe that if Martin Luther King was to miracuously arise and walk amongst us again, he would be nothing but jubilant, seeing all of his hard work and dreams realized in the very administration that is demonized by the current "civil rights movement". George W. Bush selected not only the nation's first, but also the second, black Secretary of State; an idea not even mentionable in MLK's day.

These pundits acted as though MLK would come out swinging about the War on Terror and Bush's missing WsMD. These events would pale in comparison to the very culture that exists today where a black American is afforded the opportunity to achieve so much.

So today let's celebrate a man's vision and his plight for the constitutional rights of equality under the law, instead of making him an automatic partisan hack for the left.
