Dr. King Was A Republican? Welcome!
By John Longenecker (01/19/07)
It's reported that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a registered Republican.
Fabulous. I was so interested and so pleased to hear this, I was almost beside myself. I looked into it and said wow!
Here is why this is so important. Dr. King chose a party, registered and stayed according to the values he wanted to see not only for himself, but for the next generation and the next. He knew about himself what all republicans know.
A Republican is one who understands that this country is not a democracy, but a republic.
A Republican understands that our Constitution is inflexible for a number of reasons. It’s firm because the founding fathers were living under the ever-increasing oppression of the Crown, and one of the greatest injustices was the abuse of due process. Today, we are living that same, ever-increasing pressure to dissolve our rights by abuse of due process. A Republican can see this coming as easily as one can see a storm forming. Going by his words, Dr. King’s analyses were quite insightful and purposeful.
Furthermore, a Republican understands that a citizen has only a few rights in this country, and that it’s up to him / her to make the most of life with those. That Republican further understands that the Constitution doesn’t empower government officials as much as it limits them, especially against interference and modern abuses of due process. Finding rights which aren’t really there - for persons or corporations - is an abuse of due process.
The Republican understands that it is the responsibility of the citizen to police the state and not the other way around, irrespective of opinions of officials to the contrary in language or attitude, or their outright abuses of due process masquerading as social justice or opinion.
A Republican understands the difference between Democratic and Democrat.
In the sixties we heard the stupid, empty phrase, Question Authority. A trap, a distraction. Americans in our system are sovereign as the supreme authority of this nation, and the slogan implied that the government was the authority. Guess what: Republicans know otherwise.
Yes, officials have authority, but only what we give them. In delegating some authority in order to get things done, we never gave up any of our own. Until now. By way of abuses of due process.
It’s time to return to policing officials, and to use our authority to stop officials from policing us under color of fighting crime or other sway not permitted by law.
This means no RFID Chips where we don’t want them, no National ID Cards to suspicion all citizens because officials claim they aren’t capable of telling the bad guys from the good guys, and it means repealing all gun laws as unreasonable and ineffectual.
Repeal all gun laws as tortious interference with citizens, and as unconstitutional from the git-go.
Yeah, I know, but I thought I’d mention it anyway.
Americans need to understand that such things as RFID Chip tracking of inventory is one thing, tracking of individuals is another. The patent for human implantation is three decades old. Now that the technology has caught up with the concept, you’re next.
Collateral with the human implantation of RFID Chips is National ID Cards, what I’ve referred to as the New Bureau Of Engraving. If you like being numbered, you’ll love RFID Chips and National ID Cards, not entirely a republican concept.
RFID Chips in humans and personal effects and tastes, Real ID Cards which know things about every single person, accurately or not, and gun laws which affect non-gun owners but not criminals are all terribly dangerous challenges to our personal sovereignty in order to loot the nation. Liberty (legal protest backed by force) stands in the way of that, and it must be suppressed or otherwise neutralized for looting to escalate. Another non-republican concept. (Don’t get me started on what the Party does, I’m talking about individual values.)
It’s all a transfer of wealth, you might say.
So, brother Martin was a Republican. Wow.
I shouldn’t be surprised. I’m so pleased he was one of us conservatives, and obviously still is.
When you understand that we are a republic, that we police officials and not the other way around, that citizens are the ultimate authority, and that dangers exist and always will exist to erode that authority to usher in personal gain, you’re not only conservative, you’re a patriot.
As such a patriot, one sovereign man can make a great example that each of us is then not lumped together to be suspicioned by high technology or by officials, but respected, and not for the color of his skin, but by the content of his character.

Gun control in America is not merely an opinion nor does it fight crime: it is a movement to disarm the household to aid predatory industrial complexes which thrive on continued tragedy. See www.TransferOfWealth.net
