Did anyone see the weird article on MLK's "I Have A Dream" speech original draft?

    This country has come a long way since martin Luther King started his marching, but it still has a long, long way to go... Just the hatred express towards our president, is sickening...

    So strange that last nights debate on MLK day, there was not one mention of the forty five million plus Americans that are living in poverty in this country... This is suppose to be the richest country on earth...

    I did hear Newt complaining about having to give food stamps to the hungry... Nice Christian there...
