To the editor:

This month we celebrate the birthday of the late Baptist Pastor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Most people don’t know he was a Baptist pastor because most of the media don’t want to recognize the positive accomplishments of pastors. The party platforms have changed so much I think Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would now be a Republican even though 95 percent of blacks vote Democrat. Pastor John MacArthur said he didn’t vote for Donald Trump because of Trump’s worldview. But, Trump’s worldview got Pastor MacArthur’s vote and 80 percent of Christians. Trump’s worldview is expressed in his party platform. Pastor Dr. Jim Garlow said “the Democratic platform contains many points which are anti-biblical,”causing him to vote Republican. Pastor Dr. Martin Luther King would almost certainly come to the same conclusion and vote Republican. King Jr. couldn’t support Hillary Clinton, the most pro-baby killing candidate ever. She prides herself on that and even honors the organization-Planned Parenthood that actually traffics human parts from dead babies whom they killed. This is below anything we have seen since Hitler killed millions of Jews and said it was best for society. Hitler and Clinton agree to do what is best for society. Adolf Hitler said, “Society’s needs come before the individual’s needs.” Hillary Clinton said, “We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for society.” It’s scary Hillary does what she wants and claims it’s best for society!
The parties have changed from President Kennedy who wanted to put a man on the moon to President Obama who wanted to put a man in the women’s bathroom. President Kennedy said, “Ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country.” Now Hillary Clinton and the leaders of the Democrat Party support multiculturalism over American patriotism and heritage and support globalism and giving the U.N. more power and money. I don’t believe as a Baptist pastor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would have joined in the applause at the 2016 Democratic National Convention (DNC) for someone who was proud of their abortion. King Jr. was on record against homosexuality and is unlikely to support the Democrat position that redefined marriage. He is unlikely to join the Democrats in supporting same-sex marriage rights over religious rights. King Jr. wouldn’t evolve on the issue like President Obama did. Obama evolved which is defined as a mindless change. Hillary Clinton said, “Deep seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed.” King Jr. was unlikely to change his religious beliefs. The Democrats also promote diversity over unity. King Jr. spoke up for unity. King Jr. said, “We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools!” With his murder 50 years ago by the butterfly effect every configuration was changed forever. King Jr. has his place in history and much better as a Christian he has his place in Heaven!
