Martin Luther King Jr. Day (officially Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. and sometimes referred to as MLK Day) is a federal holiday in the United States marking the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr. It is observed on the third Monday of January each year.

The location of this MLK sculptor is a national disgrace:
Just so I am not misunderstood. Instead of removing a “contentious phrase” from the Martin Luther King Memorial remove the whole damned thing. Leaving it there brings the country one step closer to combining religion and government. That, in itself, is a violation of the First Amendment. Do not expect members of Congress to remove it. They are all philosophically closer to theocratic government than they will ever be to the American people.
WASHINGTON — The Chinese sculptor Lei Yixin finished removing a contentious phrase on the memorial for the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Thursday in preparation for the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington at the end of the month.
The monument turns King into an Oriental-looking white guy; so screw the black racists who are sure to crawl out from under their rocks over my comments. A CHINESE GUY DID IT!
The MLK Memorial is a national disgrace as is the federal holiday honoring King’s birth. Congress gave the country that one, too. Ronald Reagan opposed it but signed it in the face of a veto-proof majority in Congress. The problem then, and now, is that King was a street hustling preacher not much different than the rest of them except that he made the big time.
The trouble with King is that he was a Christian preacher. Socialists/Communists and limousine liberals hate Christians; so why do they piss in their pants at the mention of King’s name? Some actually have an organism whenever they hear the phrase “I have a dream.” Could it be racism? Put it in perspective this way:
Imagine how the Left would react if a holiday was named after Billy Graham or foreign-born Mother Cabrini; two Christians who did a lot more for this country than King ever did.
Even if King’s monument is dedicated to him as an individual rather than to his religion it does not belong on public land. Honoring individuals on the National Mall should be restricted to individuals who contributed to all Americans. Before King, only presidents and veterans were honored with a spot on the National Mall; so one would think members of Congress would want to stick with the tradition. King did not qualify. He was a dirty little moralist.
Nine out of ten stories about MLK refer to him as one of America’s greatest leaders. MLK was not a national leader by any stretch of the imagination. Leader implies King led the nation. He might have been a spiritual leader to some, but he was still an opportunistic street hustling preacher to a substantial number of Americans. I suppose that will be forgotten in the fullness of time.
No preacher, or spiritual leader if you prefer, belongs on the National Mall because not a one of them leads everybody. Hell, King did not lead anywhere near a majority of Americans.
The only possible good that can come out of keeping King’s Memorial on the National Mall is that future visitors might compare him to the others who are honored there. Once the comparison is made the obvious question will be “What the hell did this guy ever do?”
Bottom line: Nobody, black or white, when moralizing is their only claim to fame should be honored with tax dollar expenditures. If King’s admirers in the private sector want to worship him let them do so out of their own pockets —— AND NOT ON PUBLIC LAND.
p.s. Put it on the street in front of MLK’s church.
