Conservatism is about individuality. Conservatism is about self-sufficiency. Conservatism is about having enough personal responsibility to fight for what you believe in.
Martin Luther King was a Conservative.
What else could he be?
Martin Luther King Jr. was a registered Republican. He was a member of the same political party that was created to abolish slavery, the same party that was instrumental in passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 while the Democrats tried to filibuster it, and the same party that believes the way to defeat poverty is not to pay people to stay poor with entitlement programs.
The Democrats fought to keep blacks in slavery. The Democrats were behind the Jim Crow laws. The Democrats created the Klu Klux Klan to be the rough arm of the party.
Historically black colleges were founded by the Republican Party, while Democrats, with brutal force, opposed every effort made by Republicans to educate African Americans.
The Democrats have been in control of the population centers. Their dominance in the large cities have resulted in crime and poverty being as bad as ever. Their policies have failed the people they claim they are in support of.
Propaganda by the Democrats blames the Republicans for all of the things going wrong. They paint the opposing party as being racist and uncaring. The liberal Democrats have convinced blacks to live off government handouts, and to give the democrats their unwavering loyalty. Democrats have offered welfare as a tool of economic slavery.
Would Martin Luther King have approved of such things? Would he have approved of the democrats enslaving blacks with entitlements, and for blacks to give up the American Dream for government intervention in their lives? What would he have thought of the Black Democrats calling Conservative Blacks Uncle Toms?
Martin Luther King would have also not approved of the fact that Obama was voted for by blacks primarily because of his color, rather than the strength (or lack thereof) of his character.
The Democrat Party policies of socialism and dependency on government leads to poverty. The Republican Party principles of self-reliance, hard work, personal responsibility, individualism, getting a good education without it being handed to you, property ownership, and entrepreneurism offers a pathway to prosperity.
Which do you think Martin Luther King Jr. would be in favor of?
