A Message About Martin Luther King's Message To His Fellow Americans

The reverend Martin Luther King's (MLK) message to Americans has been distorted, misrepresented and abused by a large swath of people who like to recreate him into a hero of their making.  They deny or refuse to accept his real message.  As the article notes " Christianity teaches that people must love one another, and even before he began his crusade for civil rights, King frequently preached that people must love their enemies and forgive those who attempt to harm them. The marches, rallies, and boycotts he organized all featured non-violence, because they were born in Christian love and hope."  I have to ask who and why do so many across the political and cultural spectrum, left and right, deny/avoid the truth of his Christian message.  On MLK day they will preen before microphones and television camera's offering words of praise for him, pretending that his words/ideals represent theirs and are embodied in everything they do.  They lie.  The truth is that if they did believe and act on MLK's message our nation would be in a far better place than it now is.  Indeed, the corrosive progressive/liberal message which since his death has so permeated our culture and political system undercuts almost the entirety of MLK's message.  Please folks lets relearn MLK's Christian message and reject the progressive's corrosive/corruptive/destructive secular humanist message.  Maybe then we as a nation will have a chance... It will surely be a far better place for "everyone".
