The Gift That Keeps on Giving

Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 43 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
Strange how all the BLM and Antifa protests dried up after Joe Biden’s ascension to the throne.
Suddenly, overnight.. police stopped being called racists, and suddenly black lives were different.
(Or was it the outside funding that dried up after the election?)
The Left Hates this idea:
“ I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”
They want people judged by skin color. They want segregation and model criminality. So puppet Joe viscerally floats the idea that George Floyd was greater than Martin Luther king.
(Or was it the outside funding that dried up after the election?)
Plenty of Danegeld from big corporations still going to BLM. The tolerance for riots in blue urban areas in 2020 was a calculated ploy to get Trump out. Next time anyone ponders how far the leadership of the Democrat party will go for power, that should be recalled.
It’s even better, David WS- they stopped reporting on it.
Protests are still going on in Seattle, and Portland, and some places in Cali.
They just only hit the news rarely, and as something like “four arrested for assault.”

In fairness, he’s right. I’ve known and worked with many from around the world over the years. MLK is not the household name he is here. They’ve heard of him, but he isn’t the big name he is in the US. But in 2020, it being 2020, the death of George Floyd sparked protests and condemnation of America from the Vatican to the international community to demonstrations across the world. Sort of like when John Lennon said The Beatles were more popular than Jesus in England. Chances are he was right, even if it sounded like a stupid thing to say.
A short but concise explanation of how and why the U.S. is and always has been involved in the work of Satan and why its destruction is inevitable:
“A nation founded on principles that admit of no higher law other than the falsehood of the “sovereignty of man” will be reduced to a pile of rubble under the weight of errors that lead men into becoming rebels whose only god is their belly and whose glory is their shame.
Moreover, most Americans believe in the Pelagian falsehood of self-redemption by embracing the the American “exceptionalist” myth that “Americans can do anything they want to do as long as they set their minds to a given enterprise. Not even Catholics care about the simple words of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ Himself, “Without Me, you can do nothing.”
There is a particular irony in all of this as “constitutionalists,” “federalists, “originalists” and “conservatives talk and write incessantly about adhering to the true meaning of the plain words of the Constitution of the United States of America without realizing that a document that admits of no higher authority than its own text will be as easy for legal positivists, relativists and institutionalists (see, Roberts, John Glover) to distort, misinterpret, misrepresent, deconstruct or ignore altogether as it has been for Protestants and Modernist Catholics to distort, misinterpret, misrepresent, deconstruction altogether the plain words of Sacred Scripture, to say nothing of doing the same with Sacred (Apostolic) Tradition.
Catholics must be good citizens. Granted. However, it is very important to remember that the American founding was the secular byproduct of the Protestant Revolution and the subsequent rise of the naturalist ideologies that continue to serve as the sterile substitute for the true Faith as the only guiding light and common bond for men and their nations. All the errors of Modernity have paved the way clear for what I have long called the “illusion of secular salvation,” an illusion that now turns every headline into a cause of major division involving the use of vile invectives hurled at the “unenlightened” by the “woke.” – Dr. Thomas Drolesky
Unbelievable.
What a slap in the face to the King family and all that MLK stood for.
And this, from a standing President!
How distasteful and ignorant.
Joe must go.
A filthy family the Biden’s.
What a disgrace.
. However, it is very important to remember that the American founding was the secular byproduct of the Protestant Revolution
Not at all. Revolts, successful and otherwise, were a frequent occurrence in Catholic Europe for a thousand years before the Protestant Reformation. There is nothing in the Declaration of Independence that was not articulated long before by Catholic saints.
America is the only nation in the world that is founded on a creed. That creed is set forth with dogmatic and even theological lucidity in the Declaration of Independence; perhaps the only piece of practical politics that is also theoretical politics and also great literature. It enunciates that all men are equal in their claim to justice, that governments exist to give them that justice, and that their authority is for that reason just. It certainly does condemn anarchism, and it does also by inference condemn atheism, since it clearly names the Creator as the ultimate authority from whom these equal rights are derived.
G. K. Chesterton, What I Saw In America
It is ironic that an Englishman was better able to deal with America and our founding documents than a fellow who wishes to scold others about how a document can be re-interpreted at the will of others demonstrates a far greater disregard for what the document actually says than those whose minds he claims to know better than they do themselves.
“…The IS has always been involved in the work of Satan…And why its (the US’) destruction is inevitable..” -E Biggerstaff
What poison.
Really? PROC China hasn’t preeminently done the work of Satan? Not Russia? North Korea? Not Cuba? Not Iran, where a close Iranian friend translates what dissidents report, how the IRG regularly kills people, among other unspeakable methods, by drilling into their heads with power screwdrivers? You need a serious reality lesson.
And another thing, nothing is “inevitable.” WW2 taught people other than you, EB, that lesson.
Nonsense, whether from the right or left, is still nonsense. J. Biden, E. Biggerstaff
Babylon Bee: Biden Says Corn Pop’s Death Was More Impactful Than MLK’s
The hate-filed rats have been defecating on MLK’s message for decades.
Now, they require people to be judged by the color of their skins, genders, and/or pronouns; not the content of their characters. .
Quoted at Instapundit from ‘razor.”
It’s up to Dr MLK’s family to speak up and express their disgust. To compare their father legacy, whose life’s work was to preach equality for all, to a little-known drug addict who was resisting police arrest, who achieved..well…nothing.
But yeah, we had large GF protests in our major cities Australia. Which broke Covid lockdown rule at the time. So it did go international.

His late wife was a capable speaker and a woman of considerable personal dignity and grace, but she was in every other respect miscast as a public figure and her time would have been better spent returning to her previous occupation (music teacher, as I recall).
His parents are long deceased, as is his brother. His sister is still alive, but as she is 94 years old, she may not be lucid enough to make a statement on her own account and in any case should not be importuned to do so. His sister-in-law, widowed more than 50 years ago, is still alive. She’s 90 and should be left alone.
Two of his three surviving children are clowns. His oldest daughter died in 2007; she was during her adult life innocent of the charge of being a serious person.
He had seven nieces and nephews. Three are deceased and three of the remainder have never been public figures of any kind. His niece Alveda is an independent thinker, but has been rather erratic in the conduct of her life (three divorces).
It seems his children have an active public profile- so their words have weight for them to publicly defend their fathers legacy being compared to Floyd.

Berniece King is no fool and might just be the person to draw the necessary distinction. The enforcers might be able to declare Alveda outre, but Berniece they cannot touch. Her brothers, alas, are more miscast as public figures than was their mother; she failed terribly at the task of vocational guidance in regard to her sons. You’re not going to get anything but nonsense out of Martin III and Dexter.

And here we have Martin King III uttering inanities. You’ll recall this man was in 1997 placed in charge of the organization his father founded in 1957 (itself an example of the March of Dimes effect), notwithstanding he’d never been ordained by any denomination. You’ll also recall the board reprimanded him for absenteeism and poor performance. (See if you can locate a profile which gives you any idea of what he did for a living between 1972 and 1997).
