1. Yes! For heaven's sake next they'll be asking if religious overtones were |
|
ok.
She was an activist. She was a Pastor's wife. This is a funeral for the friends and family that was graciously opened up to the public who are mourning an icon. Where do they get off insinuating that what the speakers shared was inappropriate?!

Republicans have never been "neutral" about the issues Ms. King held dear, so why should they have the opportunity to co-opt her as a symbol. Screw them. :grr:

And when they do, they will see that the speakers are just talking about what she worked for and what she believed. Bush will still look like an idiot, and everyone will see the cheer's for the Clinton's.

1. If I like it, it's mine.
2. If it's in my hand, it's mine.
3. If I can take it from you, it's mine.
4. If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.
5. If it's mine, it must NEVER appear to be yours in anyway.
6. If I'm doing or building something, all the pieces are mine.
7. If it looks just like mine, it is mine.
8. If I saw it first, it's mine.
9. If you are playing with something and you put it down, it automatically becomes mine.
10. If it's broken, it's yours.
Mix in a healthy does of irony and hypocrisy and there you have the Republican party.
