The Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. Upon Accepting THE PLANNED PARENTHOOD FEDERATION OF AMERICA 'MARGARET SANGER AWARD'
In 1966, Planned Parenthood Federation of America inaugurated the PPFA Margaret Sanger Award to honor the woman who founded America's family planning movement. The PPFA Margaret Sanger Award is given annually to individuals of distinction in recognition of excellence and leadership in furthering reproductive health and reproductive rights.
In its first year, the award was bestowed upon four men:
Dr. Carl G. Hartman, General William H. Draper Jr., President Lyndon Baines Johnson, and The Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., for "his courageous resistance to bigotry and his lifelong dedication to the advancement of social justice and human dignity" You can read Dr Kings acceptance speech at: http://www.plannedparenthood.org/about-us/who-we-are/reverend-martin-luther-king-jr-4728.htm

Hmmmm…
Assault-rifle owners statewide are organizing a mass boycott of Gov. Cuomo’s new law mandating they register their weapons, daring officials to “come and take it away,” The Post has learned. Gun-range owners and gun-rights advocates are encouraging hundreds of thousands of owners to defy the law, saying it’d be the largest act of civil disobedience in state history.
“I’ve heard from hundreds of people that they’re prepared to defy the law, and that number will be magnified by the thousands, by the tens of thousands, when the registration deadline comes,’’ said Brian Olesen, president of the American Shooters Supply, one of the largest gun dealers in the state.
Some folks in Albany apparently forgot how the American Revolution actually started.
The British decided they would try to learn exactly who had muskets, ball and powder — and intended to confiscate same. They sent a force to do exactly that, and were met by 70-odd Minutemen at Lexington Common, bearing arms.
The British ordered the Colonists to surrender their weapons. The Colonists refused.
Nobody is quite sure who shot first, but that was the actual start of the American Revolution.
It did not start over ”taxation without representation”, although it can certainly be aruged that we are in that state today, where we are taxed but as citizens ignored, especially when it comes to the outrageous and blatant activity of various entities, whether it be banks or health care related firms.
No, the actual shooting started over something much more basic – the Crown’s attempt to confiscate firearms.
I’ve repeatedly had this conversation with a number of people both online and off. It is simply shocking at how poor our educational system is today when it comes to matters of basic American history. Many people believe we went to war over taxes and that was the “spark” that set off the shooting.
They’re wrong.
Oh sure, taxation was a big deal — and we’re talking about taxes of a couple of percent, as opposed to the 40+% levied today when one looks at local, state and federal taxes. Certainly this, along with many other abuses, was a factor.
But the fact remains that the actual cause of armed hostilities in 1775 was an attempt to confiscate military-style weapons from the citizens.
State officials will be nervously watching the registration figures to see how many gun owners comply, sources said.
I’d be nervous too.
After all, what comes next if the citizens refuse to comply? There are only two options, really — either the State backs down and repeals the law or attempts to enforce it.

If God were against abortion... you'd think he would have said so... Commandment #11... No abortions! But he didn't say a word about it.
A few years later, God sent his son to fill in what he had missed with the 10 commandments. If God were against abortion... and forgot to mention it in the 10 commandments, you'd think he would have had his son bring it up... Jesus said: Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are the meek: for they shall possess the land. Blessed are they who mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
But Christ never said... Blessed are the Right Wing Haters who stand outside an abortion clinic with signs!
he said "bear your cross and beat the sh!t out of everyone you meet. Both the left and the right and those in the middle for they are just human."
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
The Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., for "his courageous resistance to bigotry and his lifelong dedication to the advancement of social justice and human dignity"
the judgement as to the line of justice and dignity change based on how dignified people see themselves...however, having jersey shore/honey boo boo/american idol/clinton and cigars etc etc as such dignity filled examples in this media soaked society, I bet you will find it easier to get a needle out of a haystack....
you see, psychiatry SHREDS human dignity and base of justice, and guess what? it starts in the public schools...
A Clockwork Orange
as for MLK, he had a dream as did millions of other humans throughout the history of humankind....and his lived it to his death because HE KNEW HIS DIGNITY AND NO ONE MESSED IN HIS GREY MATTER......
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

I'm sure the state will throw some bs number out there like everyone complied when the truth is nobody will, I haven't talked to anyone yet who agreed with the bill or said they would comply with the law. I said before you will hear or see the quote "come and take it"or "molon labe" more often and now you are seeing just that, those who watch the video of the protest in Albany can see those flags and signs spread throughout the crowd.
