========================================================================================== By the way, I'm growing rather weary of the cheap comparisons of Obama with Neville Chamberlain. The British Prime Minister got the biggest issue of the day wrong. But no one ever doubted that he loved his country. That's why, after his eviction from Downing Street, Churchill kept him on in his ministry as Lord President of the Council, and indeed made Chamberlain part of the five-man war cabinet and had him chair it during his frequent absences.
When he [Chamberlain} died of cancer in October 1940, Churchill wept over his coffin.
So please don't insult Neville Chamberlain by comparing him to Obama. -- Mark Steyn"

thx Pookie
You're welcome, ThirstyMan!
MLK Jr appealed to our shared sense of moral rightness and social justice. By refusing to stoop to violence his message is what rang clear and true! He was a powerful orator with a message for us all from God!
We can't imagine him excusing police car stomping, business burning or the looting we've seen these days. No true progress has been made by today's violent and destructive rioting. We are now divided. Politicians and hucksters have excused these behaviors, Baltimore's mayor even creating license, i.e., "space to destroy". These are blind leaders and they share no part with MLK Jr's vision.
Read it again and see for yourself.
