Republicans have no ideas on healthcare except to stand in the way of progress and protect their corporate overlords.

A Walk With MLK-My proudest day.
One bright morning when I was a 12 year old boy living in Sandy Springs GA, my mother June announced to my younger brother and sister and me that we weren't going to school that day. She told us to dress nice and get in the car. We only found out as we were leaving the house that we were going to march in Martin Luther King's funeral procession.
It was a short quiet drive. I don't care for crowds and I was worried that this was going to be a long hard sermon to listen to, but I knew we were doing the right thing. We had mostly grown up in the poorer parts of various southern towns and we were used to both colors of people sharing the streets, but this was an amazing feeling to be the only people of one color we saw in such a large crowd. I wasn't surprised at how warm and comfortable it felt. And I realized immediately what a good idea Momma had to come there.
The entire walk and service seem like a beautiful, if melancholy dream. Never had we felt such an outpouring of peace and goodwill through such sadness. All of us have shared our memories over the years, many times. The whole event passed like a song, but midway through my younger brother, only 8, began fidgeting, being so short he was staring at people's stomachs and bored. Then slowly and quietly, without a word, a tall strong man standing behind Steve reached down and picked him up over his head and gently placed him on his shoulders so he could see. Steve was quietly mesmerized and still says it was the most amazing experience he ever had to be lifted up over the crowd and to watch the whole panorama from his private box.
It was a small piece of heaven on earth that the reverend brought to all of us there that day. My mother and sister and brother and I all agree that was all of our proudest day. Not for anything we've done to help with King's cause, but what we did for ourselves by being there. It changed us. It was a religious experience.
When I see pictures of the good doctor and his statue on the mall, he is very real to me. He is still alive, I'm sure of it.
And I wouldn't be at all surprised if he came back one bright morning.
God bless

Funny how everything democrats propose sounds exactly like the Communist Soviet Union. We all know how well that worked out.
Maybe you like communism ... yes? Are you a good comrade? I think you're probably just another useful idiot. Greedy, selfish, don't mind stealing from other to get yours. Typical liberal.
The USA came BEFORE the USSR Comrade!

"And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor." July 4th 1776 The Declaration of Independence:

I think you have a problem with reading comprehension ... a serious problem. In the future, simply ask me to explain since you have such a hard time understanding.
ReplyDeleteAlso ... STOP quoting the Declaration of Independence. You insult the very meaning of the document with your ignorance and support for a government that acts exactly like the government the Declaration separated us from.
I sincerely doubt you understand the Declaration of Independence, much less that quote. Feel free to explain your "interpretation" if you can.
I await your explanation with bated breath.
The USA was the original Socialist Capitalistic Democratic Republic.
ReplyDeleteThere simply is no response to your idiocy. You really don't have a clue. Do you even understand the terms you just wrote contradict each other?
ReplyDeleteGood luck in utopia.
Democrat Anon2 here. Amen to that, Dixie Dove!
