Comparing Dr. [Martin Luther] King's beating to what took place in the wake of Hurricane Katrina is an unfathomable stretch in any sense of the imagination in anyone's mind except for Jackson Lee and those like her.

To suggest that I have in some way discredited Dr. King is simply the knee-jerk, apoplectic hysteria of those who find fault with anyone not espousing their leftist mantra of self-segregation and special rights. As a result, much of what Dr. King stood for has been undermined by their lies and pathetic misrepresentations.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is one of my personal heroes.

Dr. Martin Luther King is not a black hero. He is an American hero.

Martin Luther King took us to the mountain top: I want to take us to the bank.

[Jackson Lee] is correct. It is a sheer travesty, but the travesty is that she and those like her would use a catastrophic hurricane to spew forth their patented brand of commercialized race baiting.
