Default Politically correct...and devoid of meaning

Once again, American history is being rewritten in favor of atheist minority "faith" in their all-knowing selves, instead of God:

"Would the Baptist minister, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., be pleased with the recently unveiled 450-foot memorial wall in Washington, D.C., dedicated to his memory?

I doubt it, because they left God out.

His niece, Dr. Alveda C. King, doesn’t think so either. She is the president of King for America and is a lay spokesperson for the organization Priests for Life.

In a press release dated October 18, 2011, she said: "This missed opportunity to carve God's name on the wall still presents another opportunity. Many people don't know that Uncle M. L. was a preacher of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It stands to reason that they have never heard of his devotion to Jesus Christ and his message of God's agape love.”

She added, “I wasn't consulted on the design of the site, still I see this as a teaching moment to encourage people to read King's sermons."

Indeed, as a minister, it’s not surprising to learn that Martin Luther King’s writings and speeches are filled with biblical texts.....

....Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., who said, “We will win our freedom because the sacred heritage of our nation and the eternal will of God are embodied in our echoing demands.”

Too bad you would have no clue of the source of his greatness if you only knew about him from the new memorial."

Geeez give the liberal educaors a little more time will you. they continue to re-write history and soon there will be no mention that MLK was a baptist minister and the focus will stay on the secular side of his legacy.

Hancle, you post infrequently but with wisdom. I agree with you and encourage others to send Christmas cards and accurately the school beak as the Christmas break not the holiday break. The Christmas break was established as just that - the Christmas break. Renaming it is just as silly as describing the Haj as a vacation. Religious holidays/actions should be respected.

yes do say Merry Christmas. Last season I can't tell you how many times I challenged a retailer when they would say happy holiday. I would immediately say " I prefer to say it like it is so say a Merry Christmas".

99% would always respond with Merry Christmas to you too!!

My conclusion? They are merely mouthing the words as advised by their employers. Remember the majority? In excess of 80% of us like it the way it has been all these years.....don't let the majority lose another one!!
