Just when I begin to think that most Americans are sane, loving people with plenty of common sense; I log onto this site and get a clear reality check.

Martin Luther King was a communist. He was also assassinated because he was essentially nothing more than a common street agitator who was turning people off with his destructive actions (in the name of peace.) The powers behind the scene decided it would be more effective for the cause of forcing "diversity" on America to make a martyr of him.

Since it marked the beginning of the end of your era, yeah, it's a reason to celebrate.

Not any more so than any other Christian. I have noticed that most hardcore Christians do tend to have commie leanings.

He may have very well been a collectivist to some degree, and I would have disagreed with him on that, but he was not a communist. He stated in a 1965 interview when asked about Communists in the civil rights movement that there "are as many Communists in this freedom movement as there are Eskimos in Florida."

You are extremely misguided on this. The man was highly articulate and highly intelligent.

LOL. The man based his entire philosophy on the non-violent resistance movement of Gandhi. He wasn't "destroying" anything. You really need to stop lying.

The powers that be were threatened by a more equal standing among the races and wanted to destroy him.

I'm just going to pass by the offensive and absurd posts of Punx and Ginna and get to this point. Do you know what Communist dictatorships have done and continue to do to Christians? Christianity teaches one to accept the inequalities of this world peacefully. Communism either advocates violence or attempts to establish an immediate Utopian state, which contradicts the Christian teaching that evil, including unjust inequality, will always exist in this world. I don't condone it, but look at what Chiang Kai-shek, who was definitely a hardcore Christian, did to the Communists in the Chinese Civil War to see how much Christians love communism. Francisco Franco, who was definitely a capitalist as well as a Christian, executed tens of thousands of leftists. That was terribly wrong, but it shows the boiling anger that Christians tend to have towards communists, who typically exterminate Christians when they gain power. Why have Communists and Christians consistently fought to the death if our (I being a Christian) ideologies have so much in common?
I'll grant that Christianity can, if misunderstood, easily be used to "justify" certain un-democratic regimes, but those are anti-egalitarian regimes like Franco's and the theocracies of Medieval and Renaissance Europe. Self-defense against the initiation of force is fully allowed in Christianity, but clever leaders can tell their people to accept a violence-based power structure passively by misrepresenting Christ's teachings. On the other hand, any attempt to redistribute wealth with violence is strictly forbidden in Christianity, and that is the central goal of most forms of communism.
