Alveda King: Dems who passed health care reform were trying to "tear down the dream" and "destroy the American dream"

Well the Anointed One Obama did say that he wants to "fundamentally transform" this country and that the Constitution was a charter of "negative liberties" in which it said what the government can't do and not "positive liberties" that say what the government should do and he doesn't like it.

Yes, why should the government pay for healthcare for all when they can pay for wars for some. I mean, everyone knows that the American dream is to create a military industrial complex. That is a much better idea, isn't it?

It's the American Dream to go bankrupt due to medical bills?

so, the intellect capability to get on the Glenn Beck show is to be intellect free ?

I sure hope Alveda is being paid well, because I can't see her being that welcome at the family reunions.

Alveda King's brain is like a Mobius strip: forever moving forward while going absolutely nowhere.

Raise your hand if you've always dreamed of watching your kid die because you couldn't afford to pay for the care he needed. Or if your dream was to shovel thousands of dollars into the maw of a "Health Care" Company and end up selling the family house in the end because you forgot to cross a "t" on some form when you were 26 and your policy got canceled when you needed it. Raise your hand if your dream was to spend your final years splitting pills and sharing meds with your friends and neighbors because you can't afford both health care and food.

These people are sick (no pun intended.)

I think it is incredibly sad and pathetic how Alveda King, niece of Martin Luther King Jr., trades on his name while fighting against everything he stood for. Where he was an advocate for justice and equality, she has been an enemy of it. At a 1997 protest rally against a bill to extend civil rights to gays and lesbians, she said:

"To equate homosexuality with race is to give a death sentence to civil rights. No one is enslaving homosexuals...or making them sit in the back of the bus."
And during a 1998 speech at the University of North Carolina, she said:

"Homosexuality cannot be elevated to the civil rights issue. The civil rights movement was born from the Bible. God hates homosexuality."
Now let's compare that with what Martin and his wife, Coretta Scott King, have said on the subject. Here's Coretta explaining her husband's views (he didn't speak much about it while alive because it wasn't a big issue then):

For too long, our nation has tolerated the insidious form of discrimination against this group of Americans, who have worked as hard as any other group, paid their taxes like everyone else, and yet have been denied equal protection under the law...I believe that freedom and justice cannot be parceled out in pieces to suit political convenience. My husband, Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." On another occasion he said, "I have worked too long and hard against segregated public accommodations to end up segregating my moral concern. Justice is indivisible." Like Martin, I don't believe you can stand for freedom for one group of people and deny it to others...
Gays and lesbians stood up for civil rights in Montgomery, Selma, in Albany, Ga. and St. Augustine, Fla., and many other campaigns of the Civil Rights Movement. Many of these courageous men and women were fighting for my freedom at a time when they could find few voices for their own, and I salute their contributions.

Leonard Pitts expressed this view eloquently and brilliantly:

I know also that some folks are touchy about anything seeming to equate the black civil rights movement with the gay one. And no, gay people were not kidnapped from Gay Land and sold into slavery, nor lynched by the thousands. On the other hand, they do know something about housing discrimination, they do know job discrimination, they do know murder for the sin of existence, they do know the denial of civil rights and they do know what it is like to be used as scapegoat and bogeyman by demagogues and political opportunists.
They know enough of what I know that I can't ignore it. See, I have yet to learn how to segregate my moral concerns. It seems to me if I abhor intolerance, discrimination and hatred when they affect people who look like me, I must also abhor them when they affect people who do not. For that matter, I must abhor them even when they benefit me. Otherwise, what I claim as moral authority is really just self-interest in disguise.

Alveda King is using her connection to MLK to give her some moral credibility she does not deserve. She is bathing in the reflected glory of the man while simultaneously fighting against everything he stood for.

The video still looks like he just passed one through the cheeks.

How sad that Alveda King has sold her soul like this. And for any foolish right winger who replies to this by saying she is a relative of King and I shouldn't criticize her, I don't really care. I feel no need to contain my criticism of her treachery any more than folks on the right who criticize Ron Reagan jr for being a liberal.

If being able to run a business is the American dream, then Alveda may be right.

Hoping for change

And, they want to punch puppies in the face! And masturbate into apple pie! Run for your LIFE!!!
