Reply #29: So he shouldn't have gone? [View All]

I don't care who the President is. MLK did so much for this country that I believe he deserves a national holiday, even in Vermont, and I believe he deserves the highest level of respect, the same as is given in Arlington Cemetary on Veteran's Day with the presidential visit. I also sure hope that today every state legislature that may be in session took some time to say a few words honoring him.

I am becoming disgusted with some of the the "enlightened" on this board. I get the feeling that a lot of posters on here have one primary intention when they protest, its, "look at me, look at me, I'm enlightened, look at me, only I matter".

Have some respect for Dr. King. He was a man of God, yes DUers, he was a preacher, and no sincere preacher I know would approve booing someone when they were attending a wreath laying event to honor a great man like Dr. King. There are times when protests are sincere and times when the protesters don't really give a damn about anyone but themselves.
