He Was a Preacher Before Anything Else
You won't hear this message invoked today. We seem to want to remember only the nice things King said, while ignoring his warnings. If a national figure were to utter these sentiments today, he'd be labeled a crazy, evangelical Bible-thumper and cast aside as irrelevant. But rest assured, everyone will be honoring the memory of (Rev.) Dr. King today with lip service, conveniently forgetting some of the harder things he had to say.

America should watch out for being world policeman, and they are too arrogant. People should watch out if they think they are chosen by God as his true people. I imagine this would seem pretty spot on to a lot of folks. A warning against vaingloriousness from beyond the grave.

Mmm. Foreign policy from the pulpit. Like toothpaste and orange juice.

Captain:
I counted at least 3 candidates in Black churches yesterday, 2 of whom were guest speakers. Ugly, yes - but political expediency demands it even now.

That's where candidates go. Or to inner city schools. Then they never go back. Especially Republicans.
Dems rarely go to white churches as guest speakers though. Maybe very liberal ones in Manhattan.
Perhaps they should go every few weeks to different churches or different faiths and cultures. See what it's all about. Synagogues and Mosques too.
